Perugia, there is a derby not to be missed. Formisano brings imagination to the “eleven”

It’s a match not to be missed. There are three points on the table to once again attempt the assault on the title of “best fourth”, to erase the bad performance against Vis Pesaro, to better prepare for the play-offs. And then because with Arezzo it is a derby, a heartfelt match, with precedents that lean on the red and white side. Alessandro Formisano can count on the entire group at his disposal, with some minor ailments to manage and with the players within a ban who will certainly not be on the field in eight days in Cesena. The players in the balance, at risk of a yellow card, are Paz, Torrasi, Iannoni and Cancellieri: the winger, beyond the warning, is also in doubt for tomorrow’s match. Formisano could consider using him perhaps in the race to avoid a long stop, given that he will not be used in Cesena and the play-offs will begin on 7 May. Torrasi and Iannoni will certainly be on the pitch tomorrow against Arezzo, but with whom? Formisano is thinking of bringing some liveliness to Perugia. Goals are missing, especially from the attackers. Running out of opportunities, Grifo must try to be more incisive from the midfield up. So why not try the double attacking midfielder behind the striker? The Perugia coach is evaluating the possibility of fielding Matos and Ricci (who left training early as a precaution) behind the attacker who will be Vazquez. The alternative could instead be the trident, with Ricci on the right and Lisi moved into attack, with the insertion of Bozzolan in midfield. What is certain is that against Arezzo there will be a more offensive version of the Grifo. Step back, in defence: certainly the use from the first minute of Dell’Orco on the centre-left, in half space for Vulikic, with Lewis on the centre-right. On the right wing, however, Mezzoni was the favorite over Paz at the start, with Lisi on the opposite lane. In the midfield Iannoni and Torrasi and in attack the hypothesis that could have convinced Formisano the most is the one with Ricci and Matos behind Vazquez. Fantasy and technique to bring light back to a Perugia in the shadows.
