ALLEGRI'S 5-MAN DEFENSE PLAN AFTER POOR RUN OF FORM

According to the Italian newspaper Il Mattino, the waters are not calming down in Napoli. Experienced manager Massimiliano Allegri, who spent last season at Milan and was brought to the helm of Napoli with high hopes before this season, is urgently looking for a remedy for the team's poor run. Making a rather sluggish and surprising start to the season, the Italian giant has deeply disappointed its fans by collecting only 3 points at the end of the 3 matches played in Serie A. On top of this dismal picture in the league, Napoli lost to English representative Arsenal at home in their first Champions League match, causing the arrows of criticism to turn completely toward the experienced coach. Struggling to find a solution to his team's tactical deadlock on the pitch, Allegri plans to return to a five-man defense system with a radical decision if there is no visible improvement in the results within the next few weeks. The statistics also clearly reveal the imbalance in the team's current playing structure. In these four official matches, Napoli sent a total of 5 goals to the opponent's nets, while they could not prevent 6 goals in their own goal. The fact that the number of goals conceded exceeds the number of goals scored stands out as the clearest indicator of individual and tactical weaknesses in defense. It is stated that Allegri aims to reverse things by maximizing defensive security.
