Inter.

This end of the 21/22 season could be very interesting for Roma, not only because we remained in 4 in the Conference League (all very ambitious teams), but also because we can hope for the Champions area. This match is fundamental in our journey in particular for the Serie A standings and in general to get ready for the match in Leicester.

As you have noticed, I am no longer writing about the war in Ukraine. It seems to me that all the actors are not interested in dialogue and peace, so it seems useless to me. We think of football, we think of Inter, with the hope that soon more important, more involved and more powerful people than me will talk about peace.

Simone Inzaghi puts in the 352. To understand where they will attack mainly, we will have to see the third central defender, that is the one less suitable for the defensive phase and more suitable for the offensive phase. If D’Ambrosio is deployed in central defensive right, they will attack on the right, if Di Marco is deployed central defensive left, they will attack mainly on the left. However, I must note that as a left central, even Bastoni is becoming more courageous in the attacking phase.

They attack on the right with Dumfries and D'Ambrosio or on the left with Perisic and Di Marco. They are however more dangerous on the left with Perisic. Their preferred pattern is the cross from their left, our right, but we cannot exclude a priori also the cross from their right, our left.

We are also attentive to the insertions without the ball on crosses. At this stage, Barella is very good, but we will also have to be careful of Cahlanoglu. The Turk's favorite shot is the long shot. He also throws very insidious punishments.

Dzeko goes back to help build the game with Lautaro Martinez acting as a fast first striker (very good in the head, especially for his elevation, and on the offside line).

Brozovic takes the chestnuts off the fire against pressing. We have to mark it in advance. When they build with Skriniar, they can lose the ball, but be careful because he is very smart (and also unsportsmanlike) and can jump in to find the foul immediately.

They train against man-made defenses on the corners.

It is time to believe it. It is time to fight. April and May can give us great satisfaction, but we will have to conquer them with a lot of sweat. Daje Roma!
