The launched departure is already forgotten, thanks to the last stops with Naples and Rome. Viola without the suspended Gonzalez and Castrovilli. Doubts on the flanks for the bianconeri
UDINE. Two defeats and a doubt. All in the head of Luca Gotti who, like a doctor, has the measure of the pulse of his Udinese and who, therefore, must try to understand how deep must be the turnover that he will propose this afternoon at the Friuli stadium against Fiorentina.
It always happens when you have to deal with the midweek commitment, but the calendar has been really ruthless with the bianconeri, not only for the type of opponents they have put on the table.
First the unplayable Napoli of this season, practically unbeatable for anyone. Then the Roma that could not fail to return to success at the Olimpico and managed to come out unscathed from a second part of the match dominated by Udinese.
And today Fiorentina, perhaps the most uncomfortable team for that new nature dictated by the coach hired during the summer, Vincenzo Italiano.
As if that weren’t enough, in the end, tomorrow evening, Gotti will find himself facing such a calendar in just seven days, not from Sunday to Sunday, so to speak, since the first match took place on Monday.
These are not details for his team like Udinese which is profound only on the cards, numerically, given that it is made up of many young, talented but young, as confirmed by the presence of three pawns born in 2002 at the Olimpico to challenge Rome, Udogie, Soppy and Samardzic, elements that the Contarina technician must use with the slingbar.
But for balance we must also mention the viola problems, linked to the absence by disqualification of Nico Gonzalez (stopped for a round by the sports judge after the double yellow card obtained with Inter), to which we must add the injury of Castrovilli, victim of an abdominal trauma suffered, and the ailments of Venuti who ended up in the squad list but after having dealt with a calf problem.
In short, even the Italian will have to meditate on the eleven that he will propose this afternoon at three on the rectangle of Friuli, given that Gotti explained on the eve that, on the other hand, the formation will also be dictated by a careful evaluation of the singles after the double close commitment already dealt with.
At this point another question arises: is it worth involving players of the caliber of Pereyra and Deulofeu in the rotations from the first minute? Difficult to answer without being Gotti. The impression is that in any case both Pereyra and Deulofeu can be part of the game in the starting eleven.
And with them also Nacho Pussetto, to whom Gotti spared the final part of the Olimpico matche, like what he did with Pereyra and Deulofeu against Napoli. In a nutshell, there has already been a minimum of rotation.
The turnover this time could affect the bands. Stryger Larsen on the right again and Udogie on the left are an option, like Soppy who could enter the second half in a sort of ballot with Molina. Watch also Beto, author of a half hour of quality in Rome, while Arslan could still remain on the bench at the beginning to the advantage of a Makengo who seems to be growing.
All that remains is to wait for the official moves of a match that last time was almost resolved and weighed heavily on the future of the two teams.
