“Sousa’s Analysis of Salernitana-Fiorentina: Facing the Team in Best Form with Dutch-like Style of Play”

Salernitana-Fiorentina, Sousa’s words on the eve

“In my opinion at the moment they are the team in the best form in the league with high-level alternatives for each position. The club has invested to build a team that is competitive on all fronts. Their football expresses great aggression in the non-possession phase, with richness of variations in the ball possession phase that reminds me of the Dutch football of the past.The mobility and quality of their midfield means that the vast majority of the time they manage to overcome the opposition pressure by lowering their defensive block. to lift one of the central defenders from the line in the second moment of construction, they have offensive dynamics in the lateral corridors that create multiple difficulties for the opponents by alternating short game and deep attack. What has changed the most in the last period has been the verticality and the speed of their offensive game.

I expect a game of maximum difficulty in which if we manage to score points again we will be close to our only goal which is salvation. It will be another major challenge on our growth path and we will try to maintain our identity. I hope I can count on the support of our fans at the Stadio as we felt their enormous affection when we returned from the last game in Naples. The fans are our soul.”
