The 2-2-1-5(flexible 5) shape in the attacking third is so innovative and out of the box. Spalletti proves the school of thought right; that tactics can take any form, shape, execution, etc. I also have to applaud the defensive press/hold of the central 5(2 CB & 3 MF). Spalletti is not trying to use overloads which is too much detail nor counter pressing which uses strength, will power, and awareness nor is he trying to use positional play which needs a lot of practice. Just stay in your wing/position/role and do your job, with minor iterations. This is simplicity at its best. Spalletti is an underrated manager and I think he's been overlooked, he had the brains to use Totti as a false 9 way before Pep. I'm really interested in his past works now. Thanks Football Meta.

The defensive work of Lozano is worth highlighting. Both Politano and Lozano are instructed to make more defensive work than Kvaratskhelia on the left side, which has made K to shine. However, Lozano in particular makes tremendous defensive coverage, which he learned from Gattuso. Both Politano and Lozano have less offensive influence because of that but they give the team more balance in the transitions. Totally underrated this season but they are key to the system. Also worth noting that with Kvaratskhelia injuried, Lozano has more offensive responsibility because Elmas on the left is a more balanced player than Kvaratskhelia and the right side has shined more (just look at Lozano's performance in the last matches).

Napoli last year: okay we didn't find the trio of 90's players Napoli this year: we have found the trio time to shake the calcio

I can’t believe Spaletti back to chase a scudetto with Napoli. Btw I’m a subscribers for a year, but I never got a recommendation from your video. You could cover world cup 2022 tactic, it might engage your youtube engagement.

I was curious to know what Napoli are doing this season. Great video once again.

What about Lobotka? With highest pass rate in the league still playing much more forward passes? He is the key to break down defence when moment is right.. super game awareness from him. Playing up when possible but not over doing it making 90+% accuracy of passes

Little update 2 months later. Napoli Is dominating Serie A even more, with 13 points of advantage from the second team. It's the first defense too, now. As a neapolitan, I am always astonished by the magic of this team. We don't win a lot, in fact the other teams uses It to joke with us, but every time we win, we do It Great. 2 scudetti with one of the best players ever (the best for me), one historical win at UEFA Europa League against Stuttgart (fun fact, a neapolitan king was from that part of Germany) and now this record breaker. I really hope we continue this way, cause we are great to celebrate our victories too

Amazing Min Jae Kim Korean Boy .... Wow!!!!

Great video! I was wondering if you could do the Benfica tactics 2022-23, one of the two unbeaten teams in europe

Excellent analysis.

this is amazing keep up the good work

I hope they win the league finally. For CL i dont think they care for more than quarters. But they will definetely be competing for a high spot. Insigne Mertens Koulibaly left and they are even better. Good job Napoli

Bravo 👍 excellent video

One of the main reasons: Kim Min Jae who is even better than Koulibaly was

shows what could happen if you improve several spots in your first 11 with the right transfer

Box to box transitions analysis

The video is pretty old maybe before that played Atalanta emboli and udinese ..non the less good video..Elmas been filling up good for Kvara tho.

Forza Napoli💙💙💙💙

good contents!!

Thanks you for finally posting this, Napoli only need a good RW and GK to be completed

I've been following the Serie A for as long as I can remember. I think it's unlikely that Napoli will win the scudetto, but for the first time since I started watching football it's not impossible. Inter and Juventus are in shaky form, Milan is not as flawless as Napoli. This Napoli is stronger than Sarri's Napoli of 2018 and even though I still think that the title will go to one of "the big three", they do actually have a chance of winning it. Especially given that half of their core players will not be playing at the world cup - therefore they won't be tired after the tournament and they won't pick up injuries.

Spettacolo,ma sei italiano? Grandeeeeee

whoever has seen Napoli vs Empoli will realize that Politano only enters to wear down the rival so that Lozano enters and breaks with his speed for me Politano only entered because he is one of the Italians in the team the most lethal attack is KVARA OSHIMEN AND LOZANO LIKES WHO LIKES IT

How can we get the pressing intensity data in this video? I think Napoli press quite high this season.

Make a video about Freiburg ❤️🤍

Napoli vs Frankfurt ucl ro16 🔥👍

la capolista se ne va

And in Italy always talk about juve milan inter....... what a shame

They are doing very well, but I would not say they are dominating EF. Dominating would be wininning the Champions League, at the very least.

thanks to explaning to inter the tactics! see you in january

Are Napoli in a european tournament this year?

La tua pronuncia è perfetta… dì la verità, sei italiano? 😂

Bro why are you jinxing us 😢😡 ?!
