L’avversario di domenica: il Torino.

Nicola fielded the 352. They have a good defensive phase and a more than good attack. They are a very emotional team: they can be depressed for most of the match and then make a fire out of a spark. They are dangerous on the break with long balls.

The left wing and the offensive phase: They attack in particular from their left, our right, with Ansaldi. Often the left midfielder overlaps the Argentine, if it's Gojak then he'll probably look for the cross, if it's Verdi (very good with both feet, dangerous on free kicks, great talent, but very emotional and often out of the fight) we don't take for granted that can't go to the center to look for the shot. When the two strikers are Belotti and Sanabria (right), Belotti (mainly right) makes the second striker. Attention also to the insertions of Mandragora (left), lately in excellent shape.

The defensive phase: Izzo is half central, half full-back, very good especially in the defensive phase. Bremer is more central and is also better in the defensive phase. Lyanco builds together with Mandragora, although the Brazilian is still recovering from an injury and should play Nkoulou instead of him. Rincon is a defensive midfielder and allows Mandragora to emancipate himself in offensive actions.

We have to fight with the same determination on Thursday, both because we can still catch the Champions zone, and because it will be an opportunity for many players to prove themselves (for example Fazio, Santon, Milanese and Ciervo, the latter two are two under- 19 very talented). Victory is within reach. Daje Roma!
