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 ...

The stereo vision.

Very often in football and in sport in general, one of the differences between a champion and a good player is making the right choice. This means that 1) The coach must prepare a scheme (and the team mates must free themselves) so ...

Roma – Napoli 0-2

It's hard to find the right words after a match like this, but on one thing, Fonseca is right: everyone's responsibility. The biggest mistake would be to give the cross to the individual, when we are all wrong. Pedro often carried too much ball. ...

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 ...

Shakhtar D. – Roma 1-2

Era importante vincere per allenare la concentrazione come dice anche Marocchi: più giochi concentrato, più in futuro non perderai la concentrazione quando servirà. La costruzione dal basso e la fase difensiva ha dimostrato che Bryan Cristante può essere soprannominato er…

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 ...

Parma – Roma 2-0

We played very badly, perhaps tired (especially from the mental aspect) for the match with Shakhtar, perhaps too penalized by the penalty not given to Pellegrini (in the same situation to Ronaldo in Cagliari (1-3 Juventus) the penalty was ratified ) is…

Sunday opponent: the Parma.

D’Aversa's 433 is dangerous at the break, especially on the counterattack, when they can unleash the speed and dribbling of Karamoh, Mihala and Gervinho. In construction, they start with Sepe with the enlarged central defenders and try to build ...

Roma – Shakhtar D. 3-0

Mind you, the opponent was not easy and, if we won large, it is because we played very well, unlike the last few victories. We are good in the defensive phase with Karsdorp on Taison, with Cristante an important game builder also with the ...

Thursday opponent: Shakhtar Donetsk.

Luis Castro sets up the 4141 which then becomes 451 in the defensive phase. They are very strong with the attacking winger (Dodo, Ismaily and Taison), but a little lacking in defense. They press very sporadically and mainly defend, counter-attack and build with .
