Napoli Serie A 2025/26 Season Thread: Amma faticà, ma cchiù assaje

If Bergamo got rid of players like Zappacosta they’ed be a serious club

 

Not bad from Hojlund. Difficult for the shot, but carved half an opening.

 

Big save by the big man.

 

Too bad Vergara wasn't named Bastoni and played for Inter lol.

 

Sitting too deep now. Counting the seconds until the half-time whistle. Not good.

We need to keep hold of the ball.

 

Penalty. Great play from Vergara. Twist and turned in his own third and later played Rasmus through.

 

Looks like he fell. Not a pen to me.

 

Of course they show the ref the worst angle possible where you cant even see the contact. This league is so fukn rigged lmao

 

Almost. Allison great play. Vergara with great reaction to get that header, but couldn't steer it.

 

He got past Hien. Then Hiens knee blocked hojlund from getting to the ball and shoot. In what world do you not see a foul?

The problem here is højlund got past Hien and was fouled, intentional or not.

Its yet another disgrace.

 

They first had to understand quantum mechanics, logically.

 

He tripped over himself. Not a yellow, though. There was contact.

 

Yet again we are the victims of decision that leave a bad smell.

It must be corruption

 

A lot of great counters towards the end, but we're hanging on the ropes a bit too much.

Overall solid performance. Vergara taking some hits, but he just gets back up and goes again. He's won me.

 

He was blocked from getting to the ball because Hiens knee hit his. This is after Højlund dribbled past him.

Clear penalty. I would even argue yellow is okay because he took away a goal scoring chance.

Hien can move his knee or let hojlund past. Its clear as day.

Its unintentional yes, but its still a foul.

If hojlund never got past him I would agree but he did.

Furthermore it has to be a clear an obvious mistake before VAR intervenes, which this clearly isnt.

 

They are clearly sending a statement with this. Before the Inter Juve shitshow, this would have always been a penalty. But ofc after giving a red for a brush of the fingers, now they act like stupid defending is excusable.

 

We probably would have missed the PK anyway. But that still doesnt make it okay.

This is the second time we have been made an examples of. Last time we had to suffer because Vergara did an "Italian dive" and italy weren't happy about it because he plays for the wrong team.

 

Wtf am I watching?!
Second time Hien is getting destroyed by hojlund and gets charity help

 

Hh, but this was a clear foul, yeah. They must be smoking crack there...

 

Instead of 3-1 it's 1-1, great. Even on a day Conte's tactic has actually worked.

Btw goodbye mazzochi, may I never see you in a Napoli shirt again.

 

Palladino has done a good job.

 

This is the first time Contes napoli has scored first and not won.

We have also been robbed a goal and a PK.

I dont like the way we play but I cant sit here and criticise conte for this.

 

Atlanta deserve to win.

We got a bit on the front foot after sitting back a bit too much, but Atalanta use their physicality well. I think we go down too easy and Atalanta are very clever with their "non-fouls." Once we had to scramble and race back, I could see Napoli coming undone. We need to keep the ball better. That "giveaway" after Elmas fell at Atalanta's box, put us under all kinds of pressure and we lacked composure. They kept the pressure on by not letting us clear our lines properly. They know how to keep the ball, we don't.

 

This games is bullshit… pk taken away a light goal taken away at the beginning of the 2nd half.

Italian refs suck to badly and have gotten worse because of the Juve inter game.

 

By that criteria we deserve to lose all games, which we do.
But that's not the criteria we use when we have Conte.

We played shit like always but still robbed at daylight
