This Monday evening, the Napoli-Pisa match, the fourth day of the Italian Serie A championship, will be a major event. Vincenzo D’Angelo’s article in the Sports Gazette explores Conte’s potential strategies for this home challenge. He suggests a return to the 4-3-3 system that marked Serie A a year ago, with the arrival of new players like the “fantastic 4”. However, fatigue management will be crucial, with players like Anguissa, McTominay and Lobotka having to rest. The arrival of David Neres, a key player at the last scudetto, could allow Conte to return to his favourite game system, with an offensive trident and composition including Neres, potentially replacing Angusa or McTominay. D’Angelo stresses the importance of Neres for its speed, dribble and ability to bring a unique offensive fantasy.

Parallel to these sporting events, Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples continues to be the scene of tributes and cultural celebrations. Following the tribute to Pino Daniele in September, the city now hosts Gigi D’Alessio for seven concerts. This event, which promises to be a popular success with 84,000 spectators, is in addition to the 101,000 people expected for its two dates at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. D’Alessio, visibly affected by this affection, regretted the impossibility of adding additional dates due to an already established concert schedule. However, he announced that he would perform ten times at the Royal Palace in Caserta in June 2026, demonstrating his commitment to the region’s culture and history.

Finally, the success of Napoli under the presidency of Aurelio De Laurentiis continues to make a sensation in the world of football. After winning two Cups in three years, the Neapolitan club now arouses the fear and admiration of all observers. His game, rich in technical talent and economic potential, became an obsession for rival teams, especially Milan, whose reactions after the defeat against Naples were particularly strong. The Neapolitan team is seen as a major force, able to compete with the best teams in Europe and redefine the Italian football map. The indifference of the Atalanta after a defeat against the PSG illustrates the fear and respect that the Napoli has now aroused.
