“Napoli? Even though Lukaku arrived at the end, the objectives were achieved. Napoli invested a lot on the economic level to recover and restart from last season. Conte’s arrival gave enthusiasm to the environment. As did that of Lukaku”. Pasquale Marino, coach, analyses Napoli’s market recently archived at TuttoMercatoWeb.com.
Is this a Napoli for the Scudetto?
“I think so. The distances have shortened. Even though Inter plays the best football. And they are ahead of the other teams”.
Osimhen went to Galatasaray…
“A stopgap. Galatasaray is a great club, but I think the player had other aspirations and ambitions. He was out of the Napoli squad. He will go and play.”
Milan is slow with Fonseca.
“Given the pre-season, no one expected a path like this. There is certainly work to be done. And from what we have seen, it is the team that has disappointed the most”
And the B mister?
“Samp, Palermo and Bari will be protagonists, even if late. The Apulians have completed their roster with the market”.
Last year in Bari you started very well. Then what happened?
“When I arrived, in the first four games we had eight points. But there were always criticisms, the team was doing reasonably well. Then the draw against Feralpi led to a blackout. From there the atmosphere got worse”.
How do you see Serie C?
“There are many teams in each group. For Vicenza it could be a good year. In the other groups there is a lot of balance. Catania, Avellino, Benevento and Trapani are strong teams and there is plenty of time to recover. Catania has started very well”.
