Will Napoli win silverware with Luciano Spalletti this season?
I cannot guarantee that but what I am sure of is that they are one of the most entertaining teams this season
The defeat against Liverpool was napolis first since late April! They also have set a new club record winning streak of 13 games beating the 11 win streak set in 86 (I think). Spalletti has played down this season after losing influential players (mertens, koulibaly, insigne and ruiz), but the recruitment has been special! Fingers crossed they can bring home the scudetto! If they can continue how they have started then there's no reason why not... watch this space!
De zerbi brighton and Roger Schmidt Benfica next
Hey, Dave. I think it's time now that you make video on Ruud Van Nistelrooy's PSV Eindhoven tactics. By now you must have understood his coaching philosophy/style of play. But also even if you want to do that video on at the end of the season after understanding/analyzing his coachingphilosophy/style of play better, that's fine for me.
High Possibility if SSC Napoli continue this form.
How can you make an analysis of Napoli without talking about the midfielders!? Lobotka distributing the ball with 95%+ accuracy, Zieliński with the most opening passes in the top 5 leagues, and Anguissa who is just a box to box monster!
the lineup is so deep, btw Ndombele has replaced Anguissa for many games.
They are impressive, but the Lozano/Politano interchanging is a real tool that can change a match.(ex. today)
People haven't caught on how good this midfield is, one of the best in Europe
Mario Rui has been amazing in the 22-23 season. It's a shame no one is talking about him. If he's in the Portugal team in the world cup he'll certainly be their best player. Look at his work rate, look at the stats, look at the number of chances he's created for Napoli this year. Some crosses have been world class. But no one is making a video on Mario.
It's a crime to forget him.
If you forget Mario Rui, then you haven't really seen Napoli play this season. He's created the most chances this season. Guy is working his ass off this season.
Napoli would be 20% less without Mario this season
Mario Rui & Giovanni Di Lorenzo are superb pair of wingbacks
Identifying and attacking space is interesting, because the team is taught to do that, it makes them more flexible and improves on-pitch problem solving. It helps build individual creativity and I'm all for it
the brazilian philosophy of football
started watching napoli bc of KMJ and man what a team
That winning team spirit in just two months? It is eighth wonder of modern world. Prior to the season, they had notable replacements including Khvaradona, Lovotka, and Minjae in places of Insigne, Luiz, and Kulibali. The scout and management team did superb biz, not to mention, honestly worthy of accolades from major biz schools all over the world. But we do must aware that Mr. Spalletti shaped the team in just that nick of time. It is like you found pieces of car engine and they assemble without your touch to become an engine.
Napoli is very impressive indeed. I very much hope they win the scudetto this year. That would be magical.
You also gotta see Zielinski's goal against udinese, Osimhen made a terrific passing to Lozano on that counter attack, that was truly incredible. Also, a new option for the left wing is Elmas, he is playing really well on that side now that Kvara is injured.
This coach never get a great credit for his style of Football, absolutely a great coach I hope he can win a trophy, yes he won the Russian cup, but he needs Serie A or perhaps European title haha, never know, but what a great football he has, absolutely amazing to watch.
He also transformed Internazionale from a shapeless team to a league title contender. Conte took all the credits for the scudetto, but at least half of the job was done by Spalletti before him.
@@lucaguglielmo2142 Conte's Inter played a whole different type of football and had far better players than Spalletti had. Spalletti has nothing to do with that Scudetto in 2021.
Fricken excellent video. So much planning and timing to get graphics and Ideas together in sync plus the actual content is so analytical and deep it is a great bit of work.
👍👍
Kim Min-Jae is literally a wall that can sprint and dribbling.
This season seria A is very competitive and not just competitive but they're Playing beautiful football every team have their own style counter attack to sarri ball(partially) , Atlanta, Milan , Juve,Roma,inter every team going for scudetto or atleast champion league and this season they have done pretty well in champions league too.
Mario Rui has been amazing in the 22-23 season. It's a shame no one is talking about him. If he's in the Portugal team in the world cup he'll certainly be their best player. Look at his work rate, look at the stats, look at the number of chances he's created for Napoli this year. Some crosses have been world class. But no one is making a video on Mario.
Mario Rui will not be in the world cup :(
He's had 7 assists in 15 games. He deserved to be in the wc squad
Unfortunately for him Portugal has Cancelo and Guerreiro
I agree rui is a smart player
@@Killua4100 you should always have a an in-form player. Mario rarely gets injured and his confidence his high at the moment. He would have created a lot of chances for Joao and Cristiano.
@@krishhkhataniar I think that’s a poor tactic. An in form decent player will not outperform the likes of Joao cancelo, who are capable of having 10/10 performances and winning whole games for their team.
@@levicohen7333 Cancelo will most likely play on the right, Nuno Mendes is playing pretty well at PSG too. Quite hard for the manager to pick tho when there are too many quality LBs, just like England's RBs
Top notch analysis there💯
Hopefully this is their year. Spalletti deserves to win a scudetto after long time managing different clubs
Wow, I didn’t know that they hadn’t conceded a single counterattacking goal yet this season, that is super impressive
Such a lovely video 🙌
This is exactly the system which Jon Dahl Tomasson is trying to implement at Blackburn Rovers. He arrived in the summer and has a decidedly average Rovers team currently in 2nd place half way through the season.
Napoli are the most hipster team of all time and I love it. When your best player is in his first year with the club after being purchased from the Georgian league, you’ve hit hipster gold
👌👌👌
Waited for Napoli to win some major trophies since 2017 now I'm happy to see them winning
Ye I started watching football in the beggars of the wc and I supported Croatia in the beginning of the wc and we were close at the end nd supported Napoli and liked the team with ancelloti and I Waited for this dominance at least in serie a
I watch almost all their games cos kvardona, they are lethal. I get a bit of Real Madrid vibes with those transition changes (smooth ones), offensive fullbacks quick passing.
I hope we don't meet them in r8 Or semis
Lol you saying we should be afraid of Napoli 😂😂
@@theeelite8618 with the form we are in rn, yes.
@@iTcmVids boy please
@@theeelite8618 Typical madrid elitism, underestimating the opponent
@@theeelite8618 bro respectfully we havent been playing the best right now, napoli are totally a team we should be worried about
I noticed that with italy for the first time. Spina going high while Insigne pointing to the center
Thanks for the video Dave. Space matters, and it makes lots of sense.
I have always thought why people are so kin on formations in football. Even when playing games, I don't think about formations. Formations in my opinion are necessary when you don't have the ball against an opposition with a rigid structure. Otherwise it should be like paying futsal.
The best example of this is ARGENTINA
@@audie-cashstack-uk4881 nice to know. I have not actually watched their matches. But would be interesting to see that at the world cup...
@@iso6203 scalonis philosophy is there is no formation only 11 players and to play Football they only shape up in deep defence wen attacking its 442 433 343 3331 532 the idea is Messi ismalways either central of right and with molina and demaria you get 111 attack from the right alm9st imposable to defend the left sided player waits for mesi to pass or passes to him they then switch to the full backs crossing and l
A taro playing as a true centre forward most attacks are ,narrow but suddenly there wide and crossing the idea is football and freedom with each player playing a almost schoolboy game of only doing what comes naturally and o more this is why lecelso looks so world class with yhem he is played as a creator and nothing more depaul,is box to box they press at the back and the front jn rotation and the line up works in 442 433 4312 343 532 each player is simply 1 of 11 not a formation with world class goaly and defenders it works
very complete analysis my friend
🙌🙌🙌
Maybe you could do a video on the progress of Newcastle so far under Eddie Howe ? They look like a totally different team from last season
yeah, there's a reason they are 3rd on the league so far
I think you'd like to say first half of last season
Pressing.
No need to make a video to say "money"
Oil
I saw this awesome Napoli team start of the season when they tied lecce., not many gave them a chance
Hey Please can you make a video regarding Argentina as their one of the best contenders for the World Cup this year and it would fit the theme as the world cup is right around the corner
I think Napoli will win CL this year. I told this to some friends the other day, and they laughed at me 😂 Pisses me off, cause I know I'm right :P
Babe, I’m not laughing at you. I totally agreeing with you. You definitely understand football 👍
If any manager deserves to win the scudetto, it's Spalletti. He finally has a squad capable of showing his football philosophy in real life. The man has inspired many other managers and teams. Hope he goes on to even bigger things after his time in Serie A is over.
To be fair a Formation is just there just to give a team a base structure and to give the manager an idea of where everyone is going to be most of the time. It's a default stance for when things are looking too disorganised.
That's great!! How do I make this work in Football Manager? LOL!! All jokes aside, great video. I watch these guys somewhat regularly and was wondering about their system. Thank you!
excellent analysis
Finally a good video on soccer ⚽️ thank you
Looks like something employed by Ole at united and RDZ at sassuolo. He’s just made it more noticeable because his side is damn good. Sacchi also spoke about space in his 4 major cardinal points
Ole just got utd to sit back and counter with pace.
6:16 to 6:19: "Raspadori's third goal of the season against Napoli ...........".
You might wanna check that again..
this way of playing is very expensive and if a team does not have at least two players for each position it is difficult to play well throughout the championship.
De zerbi brighton tactics please
You cant say without Spalleti Messi would not of had that great season at Barca he was one of the best goalscorers when he pleyed false 9 or out wide
Serie A games seems even higher pace than premier league.
How to maintain procession in high pressings team
Using the analogy of an ant colony, I say Napoli team spirit is unquestionable 💥
So.. To execute the tactics very well, all players including goalkeeper must have perfect vision.
Well that was brilliant.
We want to see napoli vs mancity.. wud be an amazing game.. make it for semi of ucl myb
as a Napoli fan i dream of meeting man city in the final
@@VincenzoBarbato tht wud a great finale too. Bt it gona be tight. Who win the tactician.. pep or spaleti
@Giwrgos Petrou 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The real reason of Napoli`s success is they are wearing Armani uniforms
He got me rolling on the floor when he said how spalletti turned d club from a club without direction to one of d most exciting teams🤣🤣
This was why erik ten hag was signed from ajax to united but he doesn't have those players, he once had in ajax.
Lets see how he goes in jan transfer window for both erik and Man united.
Hey statman dave with all due respect its not “kravachila” or “kravadona” the V comes before the R so just call him “kVaRadona” i dont know why but it just bothers me 😀
We had another video about him. Called him different names all the time.
Arrogant Brits...thinking they know tactics when they can't even score from open play...to boot they can't spell his name properly....twatman dave
79 goals.
Still unreal, to this day. With all the Haalands and the Lewandowskis of the world, 79 goals is just a joke, Lionel.
Even my Mother can Score in la la Liga 😂😂😂
@@mariomuslia9965 Call her then and tell her to take a plane to Barcelona, I'll handle the contract negotiations.
Squad is gonna get raided just hope they dont do an ajax because napoli are truely building something as an arsenal fan big respect
Napoli don't sell
@@zorenwhite7886 i hope they dont
@@zorenwhite7886 cavani higuain disagree
@@mijr9075 Shit players
@@mijr9075 they only sold them after failing to persuade them to stay. They kept insigne Mertens and Koulibaly at their prime so they should manage to keep this team.
Ah yes, the famous italian coach "Lu-sea-ano" Spalletti
Hope him win everything!!...
The diamond formation will make a comeback 😎
3-4-3 diamond?
@@condimentofmassdestruction9114 442 diamond
No Formations don’t exist, it’s all about roles and responsibilities
Breaking opponents play is far more effective than mere focusing on formation
They defend in formation and attack in fluidity exploiting spaces
Don't forget the power and athleticism osimen bring to the team...
Tbh, that's key to a balanced team = skill + power. It means skills builds but power can come from nothing as well eg speed or reflexes or strength so the defenders cannot do 1-on-1 but have to act as a unit against the striker therefore freeing up other attacking players. And just taking poaching chances adding goals out of nothing as well. Agree - Liverpool suffer without Mane this season for similar reason.
I would love kvaratskhelia at United but know our board are too stupid to engineer this kinda of move without paying a 100 million. Him and Gapko would complete our attack
At the same time, i do not want to see Napoli lose any of their players next season because they are a joy to watch. Sadly all the best players move to Bayern, the top 2 clubs in Premier, Real or Barca.
Do we still need Gakpo with the emergence of Garnacho? There's already him and Rashford on left and Antony and Sancho on right.
There are some news about man u for thr purchase of kim min jae. As a Napoli fans, we need to take off that release clause. At the start of the season 50mln seemed like a good price range, but for fuck sake who expected that he was so complete,not even us Napoli fans
Benfica next?
What do you think abt arteta? Doesnt he is trying to do this? Or he is more similar to pep positional play
i think Arteta definitely adopt more from Pep, but I also sense flexibility from his tactics especially with how he operate both full backs and how the rest of the team adapt to the changes.
Right... now what we have is basically a fluidity based on pressing
Video about bayern?
signins next summer for example
I hope Graham potter is watching
@Sataman Dave, can you do a video of how Arsenal and Newcastle can be the NEXT Man City and Liverpool. Potentially.
Waiting a SLB video!
great analysis. I've never been a fan of Napoli but I'll have to give them credit for how well they play. Also, Spalletti has always been one of the most underrated Italian managers, and I'm not saying this only now when Napoli are riding the high tide, I've been saying it since his Roma days as I have always cheered for AS Roma (AC Milan and AS Roma have always been my favorite Italian clubs, in this order)... so anyway, I've known, and been impressed by Luciano since his Roma days. When the Romans have fired him I've been really sad and I don't think I've watched Roma for a few seasons after that (but I don't remember).
But yeah, great tactician, but then again, which Italian manager is not a great tactician because Spalletti, Conte, Ancelotti, even Inzaghi and Allegri (while on the downhill currently) are still great managers, much greater than anything my shitty Romania has ever had... or even the Brits...
Well, Napoli previously had other years of really enjoyable football, namely the two years in which they almost won the Serie A with Sarri, and some of the years of the so called "marvellous trio" (Hamsik, Cavani and Lavezzi) like 10 years ago with Mazzarri.
@@obitodmg5694 I wouldn't know cause I took a break from watching football from 2011 until 2020. I mean, I did watch UCL and EPL since these 2 competitions have always been top notch, but after my beloved AC Milan have fallen apart with the departures of Ibracadabra and Thiago Silva some 12+ years ago I stopped caring about Serie A, which is probably why I never got to see the "marvelous trio" Napoli. But even if I somehow managed to watch this marvelous trio that you're speaking of, I would have probably still not been impressed by it for many reasons: 1) I never liked Napoli, like I said in my OP, 2) I never liked Cavani in particular (Hamsik was ok), and 3) you can't compare Napoli to AC Milan. Milan have the most beautiful football in Europe when they have the right players like they've had in their heydays. Napoli can't even come close to what Berlusconi's Milan have achieved, and I'm also talking about Maradona's Napoli here. Even back then, aside from Diego (only one player), Milan have still been way better and way more pleasing to the eye than Napoli. And yes, I do know that Napoli, have won the Scudetto before Milan, but for me AC Milan have been way better (and they'll always be). Sorry, I'm just a Milan fan, I can't stomach Napoli :p
@@blabla-rg7ky actually that Napoli with Hamsik, Cavani and Lavezzi was exactly the one that arrived second against that Milan with the first year of Ibra and Thiago Silva together. However, Sarri's napoli was actually much better than that, it had a reknown style of football called "Sarriball", and it was amazing for the eyes. If you like how they play this year, I can just tell you that Napoli in 2015-16 but especially in 2017-18 was just as beautiful as it is now, just in a different way, it was second in Serie A with 91 points, a result that usually lets you arrive first.
@@obitodmg5694 it's not gonna happen, man! Stop trying to shove Napoli down my throat because you'll make me hate them even more. I can be unbiased and admit when they play well, or beautifully (and this season they do both, and it's only because of Spalletti, not because of anybody else), so yes, I can admit this. But from giving an unbiased opinion to becoming a fan is a long way and should come from the heart, not from facts. And my heart has never been with Napoli, so stop trying to convince me how great your team is because I'm not interested. For me only AC Milan (1st) and AS Roma (2nd) matter from Serie A from a neutral fan's point of view, and only when these clubs have players that I like, From Napoli I only like Karachvelia (or whatever the hell his name is, I can never spell it LOL) and Chuky Lozano. Those are the only guys that I like from Napoli and I wish my retarded Milan signed them before Napoli but the Milan scouts are so retarded, I honestly don't understand what the fuck they are doing all day long :(
@@blabla-rg7ky I'm not trying to make you be a fan of Napoli, but if you say "I've never been a fan of Napoli but I have to admit that this year they play really well" I just tell you that it's not only this year, they've done the same thing two or three times before, so you either hate them regardless of their game or, if you like them because of their game, you should have liked Sarri's Napoli too, if you simply don't know how it played because you didn't watch it's ok, but it was actually on par with this years'. If you like this team not for the game but for the player it's another thing, because Kvara is a world class player that can make every football fan fall in love, I recognize it. I was just trying to point a comparison with the past, I don't care at all if you are a fan of Napoli or you hate it.
Kvarachilla?
My head hurts
So far Napoli has the best run in the whole world this season
Only club that hasn't lost in the league
Hey bruh the host kinda look like timo werner
the false nine was first used by Corinthians in the late 1890s - a quick Google search reveals Roma were not the first to introduce a false 9. Also your point on Spalletti paving the way for flexible formations, I think you are vastly overlooking the Ajax teams of the 79’s and their ‘total football’ approach. I live analysis videos like this and I think your approach is good but a fact check would add credence to what you are presenting.
Yeah, but google will never fix the problem of listening a sentence and not understanding it.
He said "introduced the false 9 into modern football". He didn't say: Spalletti "invented the false 9".
But specially... Spalletti has got huge balls. (See how he managed Totti's retirement and kicked out Icardi from Inter. I'm an Inter fan and I will always be thankful for this)
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Raspadoris goal against Napoli?
I was also wondering...
They are so good that the players get bored and set up an attack against their own defense!
Raspodori or osimhen
Osimhen top goal scorer
Tactics have been replaced by dynamics
RL (rotate)
Pep got the False 9 from Spalletti? What about a fella called Cruyff???
What about him?....Cruyff used in in the 70's...Spalletti used it in the eraly 2000's and Pep started using it in the late 2000's......that doesn't mean that he directly or only got it from Spalletti of course...but for certain Pep knew about italian football (he played there) and about Totti, and it is a fact that Spalletti used the false 9 a couple of years before Pep used it......when Spalletti was using the false 9 nobody in Europe had used it for 30+ years....then all of a sudden Pep and Ferguson started using it after only a couple of years of Spalletti using it...and keep in mind that in those years Totti was linked to every major club in the world (but he just stayed loyal to the club of his city until the end) while playing under Spalletti as false 9 he scored 26 golas in the 2006/2007 season...something that for a number 10 like him was not something that usual...so its not like him, Spalletti and Roma were unknown entities to the football world.....yeah, of course we can say that Spalletti was not the one that invented the false 9 role (it was first used in 1930 by austria then hungary and only after another decade by Rinus Michels...Cruyff's choach)...but he is the one that revived it and made it work in the modern era of football...and then came Pep that, with messi, perfected it.
Football is passing game to score a goal
A goal is a goal tu
Wow
This is what Southgate doesn`t know.
Formation is about Tactics..you saying formations don’t work is just like saying tactics don’t work. 🤷🏾♂️
The truth is that it’s about the roles of a player and responsibility.
It’s the same reason why Spain won a trophy using 8 midfielders.
Formation doesn’t matter. You’re focusing too much on the shape
pep played a false nine system because as a player barca played a false nine system under cryuff
Be official
Huh? How you defend without a formation, don't be ridiculous.
formations definitely exist...come on man...
When it comes to defending and losing possession and your team wants to press, YES.
But roles and responsibilities is the point.
The same reason why Spain won a trophy using 8 midfielders.
I bet he plays football manager
for some reason it seems like harry maguire would thrive in thsi napoli side

Formation do not exist anymore? Lmao. Yeah sure
so many factors not considered, bad analysis
For you english ignorants it's LuCHiano.
Not gonna lie, you lose credibility when you use fm roles to analyze players lmao
That Spalletti introduced a false 9 to modern football is simply not true. I believe Johan Cruyff introduced it. Don't know exactly when, but i know that he used it often while being coach of Barcelona during the 90's.
some of the first false 9's were used in the 1930's by austria who used a smaller forward to play in beetween the lines
In every video someone has to say something like this when talking about Spalletti..... the key word, that the guy used in this video is "modern football" as in less than 20 years ago...not 50 years ago...in the 80's 90's and some of the 2000s nobody in any major team in europe was using the false 9, until Spalletti (and the Ferguson and then Guardiola),also, even Cruyff didn't use it the way it is used in modern football.
@@micheleduritto Guardiola did regularly with Messi.
@@lucapagano7636 I didn't know about that. Interesting. Funny how some trends come back after a while. Like 3-5-2 formations.
@@pietjepuk5812 i never said he didn't, but just that he did it after Spalletti, Pep then later perfected it with Messi.
