Sunday opponent: Sampdoria.

It is important to approach the game with concentration and heart. It will be an opportunity for many players to demonstrate their quality also in view of the return of the semi-finals with United. It will therefore be important for everyone to play, but especially for Fazio ...

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.

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…

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 ...
