La Repubblica: Conte may change tactics, 4-3-3 not convincing | OneFootball

With the championships on hold due to national team commitments, Antonio Conte, after a few days of rest, has returned to work to try to find a solution to Napoli's recent problems in the offensive zone. As reported by today's edition of 'La Repubblica', the 4-3-3 formation is not convincing, and for this reason, the coach from Lecce might decide on a tactical shift to be more dangerous in front of the opponent's goal.

Napoli, the 4-3-3 is not convincing. Conte considers a change in formation

Antonio Conte is working to try to solve the problems reported after Napoli's recent matches. In fact, the Neapolitans, between the Champions League and Serie A, have not scored for three consecutive games, performances that have led them to lose the top spot in the league, as well as in the Champions League group, where the Azzurri have 4 points after 4 matches.

As reported by 'La Repubblica', the coach from Lecce is considering a possible tactical shift, given that recent outings with this lineup have not convinced. The goal, also in light of the many absences in midfield, is to increase Hojlund's threat, while waiting for Lukaku's return. For this reason, Conte is considering a return to the 4-4-1-1, deploying David Neres behind the Dane, exploiting the Brazilian's threat to put the former United player in front of the goal more often.

Moreover, the former Ajax player is not new to 'central' positions, as he was successfully deployed as a false nine against Inter. Given the many difficulties, the injuries of De Bruyne and Anguissa, and the recent performances of the Azzurri, the change in formation could be more than just an idea.
