The first thing that stands out about Empoli’s season is the very low number of goals scored. A total of twenty-six, like the relegated Salernitana, less than one per match. So how can the Azzurri find themselves in this position, three points adrift of third place? The reason is simple: Davide Nicola saw his average defensive goals conceded per game increase from 1.75 prior to the current 1st round.. The coach managed to consolidate his defensive part, placing it at the top of the playing pyramid. And the results were visible. With Nicola’s arrival, Empoli became one of the best defenses in all of Serie A.
