Allegri receives support from Enzo Bucchioni amid Napoli tactical shift

Journalist Enzo Bucchioni has expressed support for Napoli manager Massimiliano Allegri, arguing that the coach requires more time to implement a new tactical approach. Bucchioni notes that the squad is currently transitioning from the playing styles established by previous managers like Spalletti and Conte to a more basic, defensive-oriented system characterized by a low block and counter-attacks.

Bucchioni suggests that the players must adapt to entirely different physical and tactical requirements, comparing the shift to players having their “suitcases opened and their clothes completely changed.” He highlights that while the team showed defensive growth during certain periods, recent performances against difficult opponents like Inter and Como must be considered within the context of this ongoing transition.
