Fabio Pecchia counts the available players and prepares for the direct clash that will open the 23rd day of Serie A: “The 4-4-2 and the 4-2-3-1 are two different solutions, what I will choose depends on the type of match to be played, but also and above all on the individual condition of the players -said the coach already thinking about the arrangement on the field-. I choose based on what I see during the week and then find the right balance. The individual assessment should not be made but departmental. They are both usable solutions, it is an advantage for me.”
The first node is the replacement of Delprato, disqualified for added cautions. The right-back slot in front of Suzuki should be filled by Hainaut, Parma’s extra man in the 2-2 draw in the first leg. Valeri will round out the unit with Vogliacco and Valeri. Hernani will forfeit in the median: with Sohm the favorite is Camara. In attack, Man’s cues will be lacking. The alternative with the trio of trequartisti would involve Tunisian Anas Haj with Cancellieri and Mihaila supporting Djuric. In case of offensive propensity, Pecchia could deploy the Djuric-Bonny duo. In the running game, watch out for newcomer Ondrejka and former Almqvist.
The likely lineup (4-2-3-1): Suzuki; Hainaut, Vogliacco, Valenti, Valeri; Camara, Sohm; Cancellieri, Haj, Mihaila; Djuric
