Tomorrow evening a very complicated match for Cagliari Several news are expected in the anti-leaders formation
CAGLIARI. First in the standings and second for the number of goals scored. Sampdoria knows something about the last four, overwhelmed Wednesday at home by Osimhen and his teammates’ poker. And this is Napoli. Penultimate in the ranking and second for the number of goals conceded. Worse there is only the Salernitana. And this is Cagliari. Impossible challenge on paper tomorrow at the “Diego Armando Maradona”.
And obviously Walter Mazzarri (a former) is currently thinking of a system that neutralizes the offensive force of Spalletti’s team. Yesterday in training a lot of tactics with indications on movements and positions. All available, only Ceter absent. But Mazzarri’s strategies are not focused only on defense: the anti-Napoli mechanism also concerns the midfield and the flanks. The “trap” could take its cue from the one seen at the Olimpico with Lazio. With some variations as the technician will have to insert Godin, Strootman and probably also Caceres. Mazzarri’s choices still not definitive.
But, considering what happened against Empoli, the return of Godin and Strootman seems obvious. When he found himself in difficulty at 0-1, the coach in the interval called the two wise men in defense and midfield to replace the less experienced Carboni and Deiola. And perhaps the team with the two Uru-Dutch reinforcements is the one that, at least for about twenty minutes, the Tuscan coach liked the most.
Module? It could be a 4-4-2 with Ceppitelli and Godin in the center, Caceres on the right and Lykogiannis on the left. The sacrificed could be Carboni. In midfield a kind of puzzle: Mazzarri could occupy half of the four available places with two sliders. Completing the package with central Marin and Strootman. There is a problem though: in this case the central filter guaranteed by the disciplined Deiola would be missing. That’s why Mazzarri could be tempted by a 3-5-2 ready to become 5-3-2 in the non-possession phase. With two advantages: guaranteeing coverage in front of the defense and on the flanks. And to be able to play with two men who can dictate and organize the maneuver like Marin and Strootman. With Deiola behind who is also growing in the setting phase and who can therefore form a trio able to dribble and avoid crushing the midline backwards on the rearguard. And the forwards? Those always free, to guarantee the “unlimited” Cagliari requested by Mazzarri since his first press conference. Little hope for Pavoletti: with Joao Pedro who almost always scores and Keita who guarantees at least one important thing per game (a penalty obtained, a goal and a pole in his rossoblu matches), the role of the Livorno player could be reduced to a weapon for now emergency for the final assault.
In the meantime, the sale of tickets for the home match against Venice has already started before the break: the head is now in Naples, but with the Venetians it will be the classic opportunity not to be missed to get back into the “match”.
