However, since this final ticket is said to be a path to heaven, it is no less difficult to get through 2 levels in a row than the Hell Gate one.

And finally straight to the championship. The magic numbers of Napoli's Boxing League sealing also lit up this season, and if the memory of the God of War can create a fairy tale for Argentina, Napoli has a chance to go straight to Istanbul via the road to heaven.
Napoli's revival is a perfect example of being smart with your money. They allowed some of the older, higher-contracted players on their team to leave and turned to the

The fee is invested in players who have been forgotten, ignored or even largely overlooked by the top teams across Europe.
As all of Europe marveled at their rise to prominence, some of the players on the team attracted many other clubs, especially those from the

teams, Napoli instead tried desperately to keep a low profile during the winter window. In the

The reason for almost nothing being done in the market is also very intuitive: since the team is functioning perfectly, there is no point in moving it. Clearly, Europe's top teams are looking at the double arrow, assist leader Georgia international Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and scorer leader Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, as the big prizes to be won.
However, Napoli, at least for this season, is not on the hook at all in the winter transfer window. As the team is trying hard to avoid players' distraction, they are not accepting too many interviews with the public, and they are not even answering their phone calls. Now, it's all about the Boxing Championship and

Unsurprisingly Inter's chances are better, however their ability to capitalize on chances has been a little scary lately, and if there are no signs of improvement this group may flounder.
While it's always the on-field action that attracts the most attention, it's the under-the-table deals that the world is increasingly interested in, and the more expensive, the more impulsive, and the more ill-considered the shopper, the better. Under such a trend, the whole European continent is locking onto every move of the shady teams on the field, eyeing which players they are going to drop with a silver bullet. In addition to the aforementioned Napoli, the top of the Portuguese Premier League has also been coveted this season.
