Napoli came out of pressure after winning a convincing 3-1 win over Atalanta in an Italian Serie A match at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, Sunday, November 23, 2025 in the morning WIB. Coach Antonio Conte showed satisfaction with Napoli's success returning to the top of the standings.
Napolo is under pressure after picking up disappointing results for failing to win in the last three matches in various competitions.
In the Italian League, Napoli were held by Como 1907 with a score of 0-0 and then lost 2-0 against Bologna. When they hosted Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League, Rasmus Hojlund was also only able to draw without a goal.
Performance and poor achievements I Partenopei made Conte's position uncomfortable. Rumors of changing coaches immediately surfaced. He was also said to be furious at the players after the defeat against Bologna.
But the news of the wind immediately broke when Napoli returned to winning ways. In a duel at home, Napoli showed their best performance when beating Atalanta.
The victory made Napoli get 24 points and immediately shot to the top of the standings. They are ahead on goal difference with Inter Milan, AS Roma and Bologna who have the same points.
This is what makes Napoli's position pushed back if Inter and Roma both get points against their opponents. Inter face city rivals AC Milan in the Derby della Madonnina. Meanwhile, Roma visited Cremonese headquarters.
However, Conte did not question if Napoli would return to the rankings. According to him, especially the team had returned to the right track and they showed their best performance.
We are satisfied with this victory and how we look when we reach it. In the first half, we played at a high tempo. We also continued to play pressing after the break of the match. This is what we do because the team that is 3-0 behind will play attacking," Conte said as quoted by Football Italia.
The former Inter Milan and Juventus coach said he was preparing the team specifically for Atalanta. He even learned La Dea's game when he beat Marseille 1-0 in the Champions League match.
"We can still control the game and control more balls in the second half. This is certainly a good thing and we can beat a strong team like Atalanta. We have indeed learned their performance against Marseille. I learned how they can win in a tight match," he said again.
In that match, Napoli immediately kicked off by pressing the Atalanta defense. The defending champion's offensive game strategy immediately gave results when winger David Neres broke into the opponent's goal in the 17th minute. He completed Hojlund's assist to score the first goal since 11 months ago.
Winning 1-0, Napoli are increasingly aggressive in suppressing Atalanta who have difficulty developing the game. Again, Neres showed sharpness by scoring a second goal in the minute in the 38th minute.
Even though they have led two goals through the Neres brace, Napoli are still not satisfied. They played offensively to increase their advantage and at the same time turn off the visitors.
The hope of creating a third goal was achieved. This time, it was Noa Lang who listed the name on the scoreboard which changed the score to 3-0 towards the end of the first half.
When starting the second half, Napoli, who was already three goals ahead, still tried to control the game. It's just that this time Atalanta managed to get up. They immediately broke into Napoli's goal when the game had only been running for seven minutes. Gianluca Scamacca's acrobatic volley successfully beat goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-vic.
The score changed 3-1, but Atalanta failed to add goals so Raffaelle Palladino's team had to lose in the away match. The defeat that made Atalanta still stuck in the middle board by ranking 13th.
