After the excellent draw with Barcelona, new manager Calzona’s Napoli drew badly against Cagliari.
The draw with Barcelona, obtained thanks to the goal of Victor Osimhen, had given the Azzurri fans hope. Unfortunately, however, just 4 days later, bad mood once again began to hover over the square, exhausted by this evident lack of continuity.
Napoli were not very dangerous against Cagliari and even after scoring the opening goal, again with Osimhen, they were not convincing. First Politano, then Simeone, two clear occasions in which the Azzurri sought personal glory instead of closing the match, being punished by the sensational naivety of Juan Jesus, respecting the oldest rule in the world, that of the wrong goal, goal conceded.
“We should have continued with Mazzarri”, the journalist’s thought shocks everyone
There was no shortage of criticism of the team, especially the Brazilian defender, who was even forced to limit comments to his profile due to the multitude of insults received. Insults which were followed by moments of protest experienced outside the Konami Center and published by our editorial staff through social media. Lindstrom and Meret were in fact catechized by some fans present, who invited them to commit more.
Not an easy situation for the team and for the new coach Calzone, his first experience leading a club as first coach. The coach of Slovakia, with whom he qualified for Euro 2024, was clear after Cagliari: “The physical condition is there, the problem is mental”aware of the difficulties that the Italian champions are going through.
Among these, according to some insiders, including Raffaele Auriemma, there would also be those resulting from the third coaching change. The well-known journalist from Campania, surprising everyone a bit, expressed himself thus to the microphones of Tele A:
“We are back to the top, despite yet another revolution wanted by De Laurentiis. Many, too many, were thrilled by the draw with Barcelona, commenting positively on the Azzurri’s performance, saying that the coach’s hand could already be seen. Calzone to get ruined? In my opinion we should have continued with Mazzarri until the end of the championship: you couldn’t have done much better or much worse, then Osimhen came back, let him play with the coach who has been there for three months.”

A surprise exit for Auriemma, who would then continue with Mazzarri, despite a trend almost like relegation since the advent of the Tuscan onwards.
