Ex-Napoli defender Salvatore Aronica warns Rafa Benitez “is putting out fires, but the truth is the team’s in trouble.”
The Palermo centre-back spoke to Radio Kiss Kiss about their run of two consecutive Serie A defeats to Chievo and Udinese” data-scaytid=”8″>Udinese.
“It’s only right that Benitez is putting out fires with his comments, but the possession and shots on target mean little when it comes to the result,” said Aronica.
“The truth is the team’s in trouble. We all know when things aren’t going well in Naples, there is a lot of pressure.
“Last season the squad was forward-thinking and attacked with numerous elements, which is why they were often penalised on the counter-attack. This time that’s not happening, but they are still conceding too many goals.
“I think the Scudetto is a race between Juventus” data-scaytid=”13″>Juventus and Roma, as they maintained the same standards as last year. So far I don’t see another team that can trouble either of them.
“I would’ve tipped Napoli for third place, but this negative start can bring a lot of problems.”
