The news: Pirlo, Conte and Gattuso all attack. But Juve and Inter have shattered | First page

News of this championship day is that three great teams, probably the best in our football, have lined up formations completely dedicated to the attack. She did it Conte with me.nter: Eriksen, two tipsLukaku me Lautaro) and an offensive winger like Perisic in the field all together. Gattuso with the Naples It was no less, indeed: two sui generis medians, more builders than destroyers, that is to say Fabian Ruiz me Zielinski, and in front of four attacking players (Lozano, Mertens, Insigne, Osimhen) for a very unscrupulous 4-2-3-1. Finally, the Juve of Pirlo: two outsiders condemned to offend (Kulusevski me Square) plus Ramsey and two tips, Ronaldo me Morata.

Have we then discovered the unscrupulous and spectacular football that we often envy to the great European teams? Not really, because then balance and logic matter too. And not all these coaches have taken each other into account, paying the consequences.

Inter, for example, ran into sensational difficulties against Fiorentina. In the end he won the match mainly thanks to the quality of the changes, taking advantage of the physical decline of the viola and some of its errors, but with such an unbalanced formation – a rarity for Conte – exalted the qualities of the opposing counter-attackers, especially Ribéry me church. I know Vlahovic He hadn’t wasted the knockout blow, now we would probably be here to process the Inter manager’s choices.

Pirlo did worse, and not just because he didn’t win. Juve who played in Rome, facing a team in psychological difficulties but still worthy of respect, I was clearly too unbalanced– Only five offensive players, one of whom (Cuadrado) completely out of position and another (Morata) never tested, is really too many. It is not surprising, paradoxically, the best Juve was seen when there were ten of them left and they had to be put together from a tactical point of view.

At the end the only one who risked with conscience was Gattuso, taking into account the strength of the rival, Genoa, not so fearful and disoriented by last minute absences. Rino has once again proposed the formation that had given the decisive acceleration in Parma in the last half hour, favoring quality and good feet, and Napoli was a show. Then Insigne’s injury forced him to change and he entered Elmas, a player who has less class but gives more balance. Without the problem accused by the captain, Would Napoli have appeared in Turin on Sunday with such an offensive formation? We doubt it. And anyway, now that Insigne is sadly out, it is inevitable that against Juve we will see a different Naples. Perhaps with the same pattern, but with men who denote greater prudence.
