TOWARDS MILAN-JUVENTUS
With many absent on both sides, in Sunday evening’s postponement it will be the targeted choices of the two coaches that can make the difference
20 ott 2023
The starting goalkeeper and the reserve goalkeeper, one of the most decisive players of recent years, are out (Theo), the titular director (Bennacer), most likely his replacement (Krunic), and a midfielder who was giving life to the offensive game (Loftus-Cheek). And a Pegs cries, Allegri doesn’t laugh: defense to be tried (with only three central defenders available), midfield without Beans e Pogba and attack without Church.
It is in these cases that the coach matters most. Invent, create, move,
adapt in an emergency these are the qualities that make a technical guide special. Pioli starts again from now acquired certainties: the game system, a trident that can shift the balance and a game with precise characteristics, which can support the collective regardless of absences, even if heavy in many cases.
You never know what to expect from Juve this season. With Udinese and Lazio it seemed like we were glimpsing
game situations more suited to contemporary footballdazzling flashes immediately extinguished by performances more in line with the Juventus game of the first two years since Max’s return. There was talk of the possibility that Juventus at San Siro
can review the tactical structure. With only three power plants available there would be no alternative solutions to the ongoing tender in emergency cases. This is why the idea was hypothesized that the defense could line up with a four with Cambiaso or Weah outside low.
Complicated hypothesis because it is unlikely that Juve will be able to give up a large midfield (with five) with the two wingers called to get in line with the central players, allowing them to “come out” in the half spaces to absorb the cuts of Pulisic and Leao or to chase down the Rossoneri intermediates . A five-man midfield, then, would allow us not to go into numerical inferiority when
Calabria moves in the middle. The two strikers will have to try to close on the Rossoneri centre-backs, shielding the pass to the director.
Pioli has been able to amaze more than anyone during his Rossoneri experience, varying systems and plays. It will be against Juve
forced to review certain situations. Without Maignan there will be no possibility of relying too much on the goalkeeper. Without Theo it will be more complex to see the automatisms memorized with
Lionalthough
Florenzi, who was born a midfielder, will not find any difficulty if he is asked to centralize starting from the left. Milan’s problem will be trying to overcome the low and compact Juventus block. This is why ultra-offensive pressing will become a possible key to the match, with Juve trying to get out of it by looking directly
Owned by. In any case, a certainly fascinating chess challenge.
