Vanoli, reflections on the 4-2-3-1: can it be repurposed in the derby

Vanoli potrebbe continuare sulla strada del 4-2-3-1 al posto del 3-5-2 classico visto fino ad ora

Ahead of the derby Vanoli could confirm the 4-2-3-1 seen last day in Parma and in the game against Udinese, it seems a tactical solution that fits well with the characteristics of the current Torino. With two midfielders to protect the defense and trequartisti capable of inserting themselves between the opponent’s lines, this system could allow Torino to be more proactive. In particular, the use of Vlasic in the three-quarter is a key key: the Croatian renders much more in that position than in the wing-half role he played in the 3-5-2, where he was often not very incisive.

Troppi fuori ruolo, il 3-5-2 è un problema

Although with the 3-5-2 Torino would be more covered on the flanks and could more easily cover the Bianconeri’s restarts, the module change would also benefit the defensive department. It is clear by now that players such as Maripan and Walukiewicz are not used to playing in the 3-man defense and have been playing out of position all season, so the change of module would make the 2 defenders return to playing in their favorite role. In addition, with the 3-5-2 would present the usual tactical knot that resides in the Grenadian attack: Sanabria, Adams and Karamoh, in 3 players for 2 jerseys there in front.

La chiave tattica: l’adattamento di Vlasic

Central to Vanoli’s thinking remains Vlasic’s adaptation in the three-quarter. His ability to move between opposing lines and create scoring chances makes him a key asset for Torino, and the 4-2-3-1 could maximize his talents. Should Vanoli decide to continue with this form, the Croatian could become the key to breaking the Juventus defense. However, the final decision will depend on the coach’s ability to balance the need for defensive solidity with the need to be incisive in attack. The derby is a challenge that leaves no room for compromise, and the choice of form will be decisive for Torino’s fate.
