Stefano Pioli could decide to surprise Daniele De Rossi with an attacking trident different from the one expected
The defensive disaster of Milan, admired in Reggio Emilia, especially during the first ten minutes, it doesn’t make anyone sleep peacefully Stefano Pioli and its fans ahead of the match against Rome. But it was enough for the Devil to find again Matteo Gabbia And Tiijani Reijnders to regain better balance.
The disconcerting performance of the defensive department, however, is fortunately balanced by the performance of the attackers. Yesterday against Sassuolo everyone did well, starting from Rafa Leao. The Portuguese responded to criticism on Thursday, raising his head again with a masterful goal. They also found goals Luka Jovic And Noah Okafor, increasingly a guarantee from the point of view of implementation.
In reality the network also found it Samu Chukwueze. The Nigerian had two hits disallowed for offside by millimeters, but the performance remains to confirm that he has now definitively turned the corner. The former Villarreal man managed to do well despite the spaces being clogged up.
Chukwueze therefore responds present, like Christian Pulisic. The American certainly did not enter the field badly when he took the place of the former Villarreal player, often creating numerical superiority with his bursts on the right wing.
Only one postponed
Those who didn’t shine are instead Olivier Giroud, who failed to find the way to the net despite a couple of good opportunities. In one, above all, he could have done much better, but he kicked high and reminded many of what happened on Thursday with the crossbar hit from zero metres.
Giroud he showed his usual desire and was clear on the occasion of the third goal, when instead of shooting he headed the ball in the middle, but when the striker misses the goal he certainly can’t be satisfied.
Surprise in attack
At this moment, thinking about the Frenchman on the bench against Roma seems difficult, but not impossible. To mix up the cards and surprise De Rossi, Stefano Pioli he could also decide to send on the field from the first minute Noah Okafor, or maybe Luka Jovic, which in addition to the network yesterday showed several interesting things.
There would also be a third hypothesis, an absolute novelty, that of admiring the trident Leao-Pulisic-Chukwueze. A hypothesis, which at the moment does not seem to be in Mister’s thoughts Stefano Pioli, who since yesterday afternoon began studying how to surprise Roma De Rossi.
