Balance and tactics, the numbers from Turin

The analysis of the Turin-Frosinone numbers. How to read the match. Barrenechea the top touches. Soulè and the key passages

After the goalless match in the first leg, the second leg also offers the same scenario: as at the Benito Stirpe four months ago, it also ends 0-0 at the Olimpico Grande Torino. What won, between Turin and Frosinone, was once again balance and tactics. A result that fully reflects the expectations on the eve of a match that offered important points for Europe and for a race for salvation still to be deciphered.

THE TACTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE MATCH

Defence

Di Francesco once again relies on the three-man defence, facing the Turin of the suspended Juric in an almost mirror image. Keys to the defense entrusted once again to Romagnoli who, after Osimhen and Zirkzee, also cancels out Zapata, thanks to tight marking and a constant pressure that prevents the Colombian from finding the pivot necessary to exploit his physique and find the door.

At the end of the match there will be 6 duels won and 3 decisive saves by the yellow and blue central defender, the true protagonist and MVP of the match.

Midfield

Well Barrenecheaboth in the defensive and creative phases. The Argentine stands at the top of the league for touches of the ball (61) and the number of successful passes (46)more than any other player in the match. Two significant data which demonstrate, once again, the importance of the Juventus youth product in terms of creation and fluidity of play.

On the feet of Mazzitelliinstead, one of the two great scoring opportunities for Frosinone who, in transition and without pressure from the Granata defence, were unable to stay clear and beat Milinkovic.

Little used in the offensive maneuver Brescianinidesigned by Di Francesco in a hybrid position, between the two Torino lines and with license to annoy the Granata’s markings. At the end of the match there will be only 24 touches of the ball by the AC Milan midfielder who, however, also records the93.7% successful passes(16 out of 17 attempted), of which the most important was the one to initiate the offensive transition for the biggest opportunity of the match, not capitalized by Cheddira face to face against Milinkovic.

Attack

Lights and shadows once again for Soule, who approaches the match in the best way after the missed penalty against Napoli against Maradona. In the first half, the Argentine playmaker’s offensive moves put his direct scorer, Ricardo Rodriguez, in serious difficulty. In the second half, Frosinone lowered their center of gravity to manage the match and, thanks to tiredness, lost some effectiveness. He ends the match with 3 key steps And 3 shots towards the grenade goal, creating 6 potential scoring opportunities.

However, the match was more difficult Cheddira, with Buongiorno and Tameze managing to contain the man in better shape than Di Francesco’s men well. The Moroccan spends a lot of time in the offensive pressure phase but is less effective in front of goal, not taking advantage of two important opportunities to bring down the grenade wall.

Salernitana is upon us

Despite the fourth consecutive draw, the excellent performance and the point obtained on a difficult pitch, the negative streak of 12 games without victories for the Ciociari has not yet ended who, next week, will face the Salernitanaorphan of the disqualified Candreva (warned and booked in the match against Fiorentina).

A week to prepare for a fundamental match to provide continuity of performances and results and find, in fact, a victory that has been missing since January 21st.
