Napoli is in great difficulty in this season finale. With the victory of the Scudetto to Juventus and the elimination from the Europa League in favor of Arsenal, Ancelotti's team seems to have lost the verve of the beginning of the year that bode well for other goals. At the end of the game yesterday the environment was enraged for the performance of the Neapolitan team: many opportunities created but little concreteness. Atalanta instead took advantage of Napoli's defensive lapses - above all of Hysaj - and scored two goals in a few minutes.

SOMETHING TO CHANGE - The time has come to make the necessary reflections on the next season. Ancelotti was clear about keeping this year's skeleton by the names of Milik, Koulibaly, Allan and even Mertens - one of the few to be saved in yesterday's defeat. Lorenzo Insigne, for example, remained to watch the match from the bench: Ancelotti has glossed over the exclusion, masking behind the fatigue issue for the player. We know that something has broken between him and the environment and in front of a 100mln offer he could go away.

RIGHT BACK AND LEFT BACK - let's be clear: after the injury to Ghoulam suffered last season, Napoli has never had fullbacks at the same level. The same Algerian fullback is the shadow of himself often relegated to the bench leaving space for Mario Rui. Napoli often loses in that area of the field where the opposing teams find fertile ground for their sorties.

NEW NAMES - We talk about who could reinforce the current Naples squad. The usual Hirving Lozano of PSV and Pablo Fornals of Villareal as well as young names that could bring new freshness to Ancelotti's Napoli. What is certain is that it will be a crackling market, with even unexpected hits from Aurelio De Laurentiis.
