Saturday opponent: Sassuolo.

De Zerbi deploys a 4231 that becomes 451 in the defensive phase (even if it is rare because they often press).

The major playmaker is Locatelli (right), but suffers from the pressing. They can also build with Ferrari, as @zarcozilesi suggests. With pressure, if collective, aggressive and fast, we can put them in difficulty, but if they overcome it, we have to be careful and come back fast. Usually to overcome it they rely on attacking players who come back (mainly Berardi, Djuricic, a little less with Caputo). They mostly build games on their right, our left.

They often play with pervert footed wings (@davidelynce is happy), that is with Berardi (all left) as right winger, who is the most dangerous player in particular when he goes to the center to shoot left, and Djuricic, deployed winger left but is above all a central offensive midfielder (as you can see from the image) and who is mainly right. In place of Djuricic, Boga can play, who is more wing, has less technical quality, more speed, has an inverted foot and is less constant in shooting, but with a little luck (bad luck for us) he can make even more dangerous shots than the Serbian.

Defrel plays as a central offensive midfielder and press our playmaker. If the past makes the French think as a second striker, in reality he is committed and is especially good in the defensive phase.

On corner kicks, they defend by zone, but keep an eye on the forwards.

The match on our right of our full-back will be important. From an Ajax perspective, it would also be interesting to see Bruno Peres against Berardi, who is a very similar horse to Tadic (given the disqualification of Karsdorp), but in general a good game of the whole midfield is a must, including the our Captain Pellegrini and our intelligent mastiff, Amadou Diawara.

Absolutely with the variable (and precarious) weather of the Inter owners, we must not give up on Serie A, and if we play concentrated and with blood in our eyes, we can take home the ravioli with pumpkin from nearby Modena. Daje Roma!
