Thursday opponent: the Manchester United.

Non è una vendetta. Non appesantiamo troppo questa partita di significati. Non la appesantiamo troppo per la qualità dell’avversario. Divertitevi a giocarla da padroni all’Old Trafford. Lo stadio all’inizio può mettere paura. Sono decisivi i primi quindici minuti. Se entriamo…

Sunday opponent: Cagliari.

Semplici schiera il 352 soprattutto difesa e contropiede che in fase difensiva diventa 532. Non fanno costruzione dal basso, ma contro il pressing spesso cercano il lancio lungo per Pavoletti (bravo anche a prendere il fallo). Attaccano a sinistra con…

Thursday opponent: Atalanta.

It is difficult to concentrate on a match when there are so many rumors, so many news and so many opinions (mostly contrary) about this Super League. It is a topic that has also been touched upon by the highest European political profiles. From the last of the fans to the Commission ...

L’avversario di domenica: il Torino.

Nicola schiera il 352. Hanno una buona fase difensiva e un attacco più che buono. Sono una squadra molto emotiva: possono stare in depressione per gran parte del match e poi fare un incendio da una scintilla. Sono pericolosi in…

The logo of Amsterdam depicts a black pole representing the Amstel river on a red field, then on this black pole there are 3 St. Andrew's crosses which is probably the symbol of Jan Persijn, who was lord of the city ...

Sunday opponent: the Bologna FC.

Mihajlovic deploys the 4231 with pressing in many phases (from the opponent's goal kick it becomes a 442 with Soriano striker). They suffer from pressing. It is not only a good test to prepare for the second leg with Ajax, but it could be an important match for ...

Thursday opponent: Ajax.

The hero portrayed in the Ajax symbol is a hero of Greek mythology, Ajax Telamonius, so called to differentiate himself from Ajax Oileo. He was a cousin of Achilles, very tall, very strong, very brave. Master with the spear, he won the javelin throw ...

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 point guard is Locatelli (right), but he suffers from the pressure. They can also build with Ferrari, as @zarcozilesi suggests. With pressing, if ...

Sunday's opponent: the Napoli.

Gattuso deploys 4231, which can also be read as 433. They play attack horizontally (which they prefer) and vertically, they do well and suffer pressure, but they have a good defense (perhaps not a good defensive phase, in the sense that ...

Thursday opponent: Shakhtar D.

Most of the first leg remarks were correct. For this reason, firsTotti of all, I refer you to the first leg article. Given the result of the first leg (3-0 for us), they will play even more attacking with a very high defense. We will not have to qualify for ...
