Dont take me wrong, i agree that it was a very difficult game against a very tough team and we should be pleased by the fact that we were undefeated in a such a bad day for our roster.
Our team was really weak comparing it, to the usually roster we are using every week.
I reckon its not a great loss and it wont affect our run for the championship much,
i even bet to a straight DRAW, thats what i expected...
BUT
WHY its almost impossible to ever win such games???
We were less powerfull like usual but Napoli had a better roster than us??
If Napoli had DP,Camo,Zanetti and Buffon in their ranks and we didnt, they sould be pleased with the result?
We are used to have the best team in the field and win by our overwhelming power/skill but when things are level we dont,
this roster even had the edge over Napoli but we didnt take advantage of it,
Napoli, an inferior team managed to get away with smth more than one point from us, they should be pleased, we shouldnt...
What are we going to do next year when we will face superior, than us, teams/rosters??
We wont be able to compete Inter and Milan's rosters right away, does it means we should consider all those games already lost?
and draw all the Lazio/Roma/Fiorentina like teams??
I hope the heart-play, that a team like Napoli applies, isnt the max limit/wall for us,
i hope we can rise our game higher adapting on every situation and dont just win the easiest games, remember the hard wins against all the odds? (like the ones against Milan)
these were pretty important for the morale of the team,
i hope DD builds this team with the champion's heart, we will top serie B but we should top it the way only the greatest team in Italy should,
with the authority O'Neal owns the basket,
we ve wasted the, once in our life, opportunity to crush Napoli home, having a similar roster, only by the sheer power of our Jersey,
just a draw... an "excellent" result for our roster...
yea we CANT do more under those circumstances can we?
Thats a little too much to ask after suffering so many Lazio defeats (Salas scored a header from from 20meters on VDS),another lost UCL final (against Milan,that time), Toldo coming in our net with the ball and the keeper the last second of the game and other similar pleasures/moments our team offered to Napoli supporters and denied us...
why things should change now?
I think we are now officially adapted to serie B football...and DD continues the Capello legacy...(4-4-2, two DMs, a target man like Zala favoured in front of a forward like Bojinov,NO trident, NO playmaker, we cant win a derby without Neddy, win all the easy games draw the derbies etc etc)
A draw with the 7th rated team in serie B was the maximum we could ever get using a mixture of serie B AND serie A material...a good result...let it b...
