Napoli fans lament the loss of ‘monster defender’ Kim Min-jae (27, Munich).

Napoli drew 2-2 with host Genoa in the fourth round of the 2023-24 Serie A on Sunday in Genoa, Italy. With seven points from four games, Napoli (W2 D1 L1) is fifth in the league. 카지노

Napoli conceded the first two goals of the game, and their defense collapsed. Back-to-back goals from Laspadori in the 31st minute and Politano in the 39th minute drew Napoli to a dramatic 2-2 tie.

Napoli’s defensive woes continue to haunt them, including a 1-2 loss to Lazio in the third round. Inter Milan, winners of four in a row, lead the standings, followed by Juventus (3 wins, 1 draw) and AC Milan (3 wins, 1 loss).

Napoli kept last season’s title winners, top scorer Victor Osimhen and winger Hvitsa Kvarachelia, after numerous transfer rumors. However, they have not been able to fill the gap left by the departure of defense core Kim Min-jae to Munich.

“No one will deny that Kim was the key to Napoli’s title now,” “Napoli can’t defend the Serie A title without Kim, it hurts but it’s true,” and “Look at Napoli’s abysmal defense now. Napoli without Kim Min-jae is bound to struggle,” and “Genoa gave away three corners and scored two goals. If they don’t bring in a defender to replace Kim, their season will be over before they can even challenge for the Serie A title.”

Napoli have Brazilian defender Juan and Norwegian defender Leo Østergård playing in Kim’s place, but neither is performing to their satisfaction.
