Gasperini without Demiral will have to invent the defense

by admin

UDINE

The challenge between Atalanta and Udinese for the coaches of the two teams was certainly not born under a lucky star. In fact, if Luca Gotti in his tests at Bruseschi finds himself struggling with the problems between midfield and attack given the absences of the injured Deulofeu and the suspended Pereyra, on the opposite front Gian Piero Gasperini does not yet know which defense he will be able to present against the Friulians.

He does not know why the Goddess is literally losing the pieces one game after another, to the point that yesterday, since the return from Manchester, a possible move to the four-man defense was also evaluated in the Orobica house, compared to the classic “three-way” line. ”On which the aggressive and canonical 3-4-1-2 rests.

HEAVY ABSENCES

And if “Gasp” is also thinking about changing the tactical plot it is because four of his power stations are missing, with the aggravating circumstance that the absences concern three of the four owners who are held in very close consideration by the coach. Without Toloi, who after missing the Champions League challenge due to the adductor muscle strain he remedied in Empoli, has only a 25% chance of making it by Sunday, without Djimsiti who will only return in mid-November after breaking his forearm , and without Demiral, who scored at Old Trafford before the muscle strain in his right thigh still to be evaluated with the instrumental tests, only Palomino is left behind as the only certainty.

STILL IMMATURE

It is therefore a full emergency, also because Gasperini does not “see” the two young central players who remain in the squad yet ready, starting with the 21-year-old Matteo Lovato who danced a lot in Manchester to replace Demiral. The Goddess picked him up during the last transfer window from Verona, with which he had reached 25 appearances last year, launched by Ivan Juric, the disciple of the Atalantino coach. Giorgio Scalvini is not ready either, a 17-year-old with high hopes, who climbed up to the first team from the thriving neroblù youth sector, on which both president Percassi and Gasperini spent good words in the summer.

ALTERNATIVE

What to do then? There are two main solutions, and the first leads to the retreat of De Roon, a forced adaptation with respect to the characteristics of the Dutchman, who has already shown great difficulty in filling the role of central. If this were the case, he would be the right central, perhaps the one who could aim Beto, while Palomino would be entrusted with the control room from the central, with Lovato on the center left, where Gotti could sink the blow, bringing Molina to support Pussetto. . The second solution is precisely the line of four, and in this case Zappacosta and Maehle would be the two low exteriors, with Palomino and Lovato at the center, in full compliance with the characteristics. All this, remembering that on Sunday Atalanta will not be able to count on long-term residents Pessina, Hateboer and Gosens. –
