After the sixth round of Napoli led Serie A. Antonio Conte for two months taught the team to play in his favorite scheme with three central defenders, but in the end returned more suitable for the existing set of players 4-3-3. The team has already played three official matches in this formation, and have not lost in any of them: an honorable draw in Turin against Juventus (0:0), the rout of Palermo in the Cup with a score of 5:0 and a confident victory in class in the match with Monza (2:0).
Como failed in the first three rounds of the championship, gaining only one point in them, and also fell out of the Italian Cup already at the stage 1/32 of the final. However, Cesc Fabregas has prepared his team well for the resumption of the season after the pause for national team games. In the three September games played after the break, the team did not lose once, gaining seven points out of a possible nine. This allowed them not only to get out of the bottom of the standings, but also to climb into the top ten.
