Sunday opponent: Verona

It is a 3421 where they mark mainly by man (like the Atalanta of Juric's master, Gasperini), but then on the corner kicks they mark in the zone (7 in a row inside the small area of the goalkeeper and 3 outside in a triangle, sign that Silvestri is not very used to going out).

In the defensive phase, they mark with the central back our central forward, who must be good on the banks. Borjita's match will therefore be crucial.

They attack mainly on the flanks. Juric has 3 strong players on the left wing: Dimarco, Lazovic and Zaccagni. Against Bologna, Lazovic played on the right and overlapped with Faraoni and on the left with Dimarco and Zaccagni in dialogue. If, on the other hand, Dimarco, Lazovic and Zaccagni all play on the left as with Napoli, they dialogue to trigger Zaccagni, even if Dimarco as a central back left has several defects. Faraoni is also very good at assisting. In this case, we must be particularly careful with Zaccagni.

Barak is very good at insertions. Zaccagni is the most dangerous man, good starting from the left to go towards the center to look for the right-footed shot. They are both good at pressing. In this situation we go to look for our attacking midfielders (Pellegrini and Mkhi).

This weekend there will be Atalanta-Lazio and Napoli are going through a period of so-so, so if we win we will give a good blow to the Champions area and also for something more. Winning is fundamental. Daje Roma!
