Lazio, continuity objective: Will Sarri change the 4-3-3 formation?


Lazio, dopo la vittoria col Verona, i biancocelesti vogliono confermarsi in vista del derby. Ipotesi 4-3-1-2 con Dia accanto a Castellanos
La Lazio si prepara a tornare in campo. Domenica prossima i biancocelesti affronteranno il Sassuolo al Mapei Stadium con l’obiettivo di dare continuità al successo per 4-0 ottenuto contro l’Hellas Verona, vittoria che ha cancellato la delusione dell’esordio amaro in casa del Como per 0-2. Una sfida che nasconde insidie dal momento che i neroverdi di Fabio Grosso sono tornati in Serie A dopo una sola stagione di cadetteria e hanno entusiasmo da vendere. Ma Sarri sa che non ci sono margini d’errore, soprattutto perché tra sette giorni all’Olimpico andrà in scena il derby della capitale contro la Roma.
Lazio, automatismi da ritrovare
Il tecnico biancoceleste sta lavorando per rendere la manovra più fluida e veloce, alla ricerca di nuovi automatismi che possano rendere la squadra meno prevedibile. Difesa e centrocampo restano blindati. La linea a quattro dietro e mediana a tre sono ormai certezze, con il 4-3-3 che rappresenta il modulo di riferimento.
L’attenzione è tutta sul reparto offensivo. Il tridente “tipo” vede Castellanos al centro con Isaksen e Zaccagni larghi sugli esterni. Ma, come riporta La Gazzetta dello Sport, Sarri starebbe valutando un’inedita variante, ovvero il passaggio al 4-3-1-2. In questo schema Dia potrebbe affiancare il Taty in attacco, con un trequartista alle loro spalle scelto tra Zaccagni e Pedro. Un cambio che darebbe più peso in area e più soluzioni offensive, a costo però di sacrificare l’ampiezza sulle fasce.
La sfida col Sassuolo diventa così un test cruciale, non solo per portare a casa altri tre punti ma anche per sperimentare assetti tattici che potrebbero rivelarsi decisivi in vista del derby.

Serie A, weekend plagued by goal drought: negative record within reach

The 7th round of Serie A risks being remembered in history for having the lowest number of goals. There is still one match that could prevent this.
Four nil-nil draws and a maximum of three goals in a single match have characterized this round of Serie A. Little spectacle and little effectiveness, only the talents of the moment have shone.
Serie A, the latest negative record and what must happen in Cremonese-Udinese
Only nine goals in nine matches, this is the data that has surprised everyone among fans and insiders regarding the seventh round of Serie A. Four matches without goals and many teams struggling to find a way to score for several weeks.
Abroad, it is said that Serie A is the most boring championship in terms of pure entertainment, and unfortunately, this stereotype has been confirmed this past weekend.
The only hope to avoid setting a negative record and beat those belonging to the days: 9th of the 2010-2011 season, 32nd of the 2017-2018 season, and 2nd of the 2022-23 season with a total of 13 goals, is that the last match on the schedule, namely Cremonese-Udinese, records at least 4 goals to at least equal the previous negative record.

“The story together continues: Daniele Rugani renews his contract with Juventus until June 30, 2028, further binding his future and career to the Bianconeri colors. A shared journey that began in 2012, when just of legal age, Daniele first entered the gates of Vinovo to wear the Juventus jersey, starting his path with the Primavera team. From then on, a constant growth, in a continuous process of maturation that has led him to be the man, the professional, and the player he is today.”
Among the currently rostered players, Rugani is the one who has won the most matches in Serie A (90) and in all competitions (111) with the Juventus jersey. Experience and availability that never wane from a player who has always been able to show up when needed, representing a defensive guarantee and also capable of achieving some satisfaction on the offensive end – scoring 11 goals in his 152 total appearances with Juventus. A story of victories and trophies, but also of the ability to bounce back after going through difficult times. A story that will continue, until 2028, together”.

Milan, Leão found: from second striker to pivotal player


Milan, the Portuguese forward scores a brace and suggests that he can express his full potential as a second striker. Allegri has found the key to relaunch him.
Rafael Leão is back, and he did it in the most spectacular way possible: with a brace that led Milan to victory and back to the top of the standings. After a month and a half on the sidelines and some lackluster performances, the Portuguese responded on the field with a display of personality, clarity, and determination.
Against Fiorentina, the Rossoneri striker found the back of the net in Serie A at San Siro after 512 days, as reported by Opta. The first goal was a trademark move, with acceleration, a sharp dribble, and an unstoppable right-footed shot past De Gea. The second, from a penalty, showcases the maturity of the new Leão, who secured the 3 points against Fiorentina with a precise right-footed strike.
Milan, Max’s idea for a new Leão
But the real secret of this revival lies in the change of position. In the first half, Allegri had deployed him as a center forward, a role that restricted him with few movements, many errors, and little impact. In the second half, with Gimenez coming on and Saelemaekers widening the play, Leão returned to move freely between the lines, as a second striker. And there he found himself again.

Free to roam, receive the ball, and take on his marker, the Portuguese has returned to being the game-changer. Allegri knows this well, and in a Milan that wants to stay at the top, Leão can be the ultimate weapon, as long as his creativity is utilized without constraints.
In short, it is clear that Leão performs best a few meters further back, where he can light up the game and inspire his teammates. After difficult weeks, Milan has found its star player again, perhaps at the most challenging time of the season given the absences of Pulisic and Rabiot.
