As we rapidly approach Saturday’s match against Napoli, Thiago Motta has to deal with an important issue: those within a ban. The players who could miss the next match against Juventus, if they are booked on Saturday, are Riccardo Calafiori, Sam Beukema and Victor Kristiansen.
Besides the three of them, they are also added to the list Fabbian, Freuler, Lykogiannis And Ndoye. Mister Motta, throughout the season, was often able to find new solutions for his defensive department, author of a formidable season. A very indicative figure, in fact, concerns the goals conceded in the second halves: only 10. Only Ancelotti’s Real Madrid is ahead of Thiago’s Bologna in the top 5 European leagues.
Chapter warnings and defence
In order to have the three pillars of the defense on the pitch, therefore Beukema, Lucumì and Calafiori, one of them was moved and adapted to the sideline. Against the Giallorossi, but also at home against Atalanta and in the match against Empoli, Thiago deployed all three defenders, taking home 3 victories.
Obviously, however, the warning hanging over the heads of Beukema and Calafiori makes the coach’s plans more complicated. So here’s what could be witnessed to one defence formed only by a central player booked by a booking, Lucumi, Posch and Kristiansen (also warned but ahead of Lykogiannis).
The remaining ballots
In addition to the defense, Thiago must resolve other doubts regarding the remaining departments. It is in midfield Freuler-Aebischer couple confirmed, but one vacancy remains. There challenge And open between Fabbian, Moro, El Azzouzi and Urbanski: no one exactly covers the characteristics of the injured Ferguson, but if you wanted more defensive coverage, the head-to-head between El Azzouzi and Urbanski would come to life.
The only certainties concern Zirkzee And Saelemaekers, ready to act on the left wing. The doubts in midfield will be resolved together with those for the right wing: again Ndoye and Orsolini competing for a starting shirt.
