How has he managed to take Napoli to the top of Serie A? JJ Bull explains.

#Napoli #SerieA
Napoli deserves to win the title this season. The way they’ve replaced the likes of Insigne, Koulibaly, and Mertens with the likes of Khvicha, Kim and Raspadori are crazy. Spalletti deserves to win at least once to make up for the numerous times he has come close only to miss out on it marginally.
"Because they have three central defenders closing, the two holding midfielders relating, moving close, the pockets close, the structure - the 5 and 2 players, so so close. And the distances are so close and at the same time they are so WIIIIIDE"
Kvaradona and the rest of the Napoli squad are extremely fun to watch, I’m really rooting for them to win the Scudetto this season 💙
As a Barcelona fan I hope our board looks at Spalletti being our manager after Xavi, I am so jealous of Napoli fans and the football their enjoying currently , plus they have a potential GOAT in Kvaradona, what a time to be a Napoli fan😭😭😭.
Napoli fan here. Great analysis. Only one thing to note: Lobotka is far from the typical, static "number 6", Jorginho-style. He is incredibly dinamic and carries the ball a lot. Sometimes the midfield triangle inverts and he becomes almost an attacking midfielder. In my opinion he is by far Napoli's most important player. Truly a joy to watch.
This Napoli side is so new save Zielinski/Rui they feel like new kids on the block. Plus the way they play it’s a match made in heaven
Kvarastkhelia is already one of the most dangerous players in the world, the eye test has seen enough + JJ please do all the tifo videos, you’re the only analyst I can watch for over 10 mins
Kim is a BEAST for real
I was literally just watching Kvaradona highlights when they posted this video
People have been sleeping on Spalletti for years even though he's played some of the best football in Italy since the mid 2000s. He's credited for inventing the false 9, launched the careers of players such as Salah and Rudiger, and made a chain-smoking borderline alcoholic Nainggolan the best midfielder in Europe in 2018
Q: What makes Napoli so good?
Bene bene , hai capito perfettamente le tattiche del Napoli , bravo amico mio. 🤔ma non dirle a nessuno per favore ☝️ciao🤗
Another thing to consider is that Fabian Ruiz left the club, even tho he's really talented he didn't fit the style that Napoli wanted to play. He was really good when the pace of the game was slow but not as much when there was the need of getting the pace of the game up. Also Lobotka is really instrumental and is stepping up big time with really consistent performances, he's never the star of the show but he enables all the other players to do what they want to do.
Could you guys make an analysis of how Club Brugge is top of their UCL group stage, would be really interesting I think!
Kim Min Jae is unbelievable. Tottenham and other Prem clubs missed out on something special
I know this is an analysis on their attack but as a napoli fan it's absolutely criminal that they haven't mentioned Kim. He is insane. Best centre back in serial a right now, defo better than Koulibaly in terms of defending.
I think the key point in your analysis is how adaptable their style can be, they can sit back at times or play on the front foot and their football is based more on exploiting moments. That right there is the most important point and is more commonplace I think particularly in calcio and football on the continent in general perhaps. Real madrid also play this way but the reason why they're so good is their players have so much quality and intelligence. It is football that puts more emphasis on tactics and understanding your opponent as opposed to ideologies or mantras about "playing a certain way". Being tactical is important in the champions league.
very nice overview!
Napoli got Kvara and Kim at a bargain! More teams should learn from Napoli. You dont need to spend billions on players to win games.
Another advantage is most their key players won't be in the WC so they will have a better rested side with less injuries
