If you ask the fans, for them there will be no doubts: Italiano’s problems can be found above all in the fact that he doesn’t know how to defend is that concedes too many goals due to the high defense.
Which, moreover, is contradicted by the numbers. Because the Viola team has suffered (to date, considering for example two games less than Lazio at the time of writing), “only” 37 goalsthe same as the Biancocelesti of Tudor and Atalanta (also the Bergamo players with two games less), 2 less than Milan (which has one more game), 4 less than Rome (same condition as Milan) and even 6 less than Napoli (always with an extra game).
And the fans themselves could be shocked if they focused instead on Pisa’s numbers Alberto Aquilani, given as next on the lily bench. The Nerazzurri are the worst defense in Serie B, with 50 goals scored on par with Ternana which is risking C.
Here is the explanation of the former Viola Primavera coach, an admission of guilt that the fans will not like if he actually lands on the banks of the Arno again, this time at the helm of the first team:
“The fault is the way we defended, it’s mostly my fault. By attacking high up you risk having one-on-one players behind you. Of the 50 goals conceded there were also some resulting from avoidable errors. But the defensive phase is an aspect that starts above all from ball management and what I ask for. We defend ourselves differently than you were used to seeing“
