NAPLES, GAZZETTA – As reported by the Gazzetta, Napoli in Milan focuses on its certainties that today can really make a difference.
Napoli, Gazzetta: “Zielinski the key to Spalletti’s team”
“It’s all a matter of triangles: isosceles, hardly equilateral, possibly scalene. In midfield the development of Luciano Spalletti’s game is achieved through the movement, at times almost circular, of the three midfielders: they tend to find the spaces that the opponent leaves uncovered in that moment. And so the isosceles triangle can have a low vertex, Lobotka, in 4-3-3; or high, Zielinski, and let’s move on to 4-2-3-1. In a fluid and almost natural way for players who have long been accustomed to working with Spalletti, knowing in depth the principles of the game. In fact, it is no coincidence that the trio Anguissa-Lobotka-Zielinski, in addition to being the engine of the team, becomes a sort of trident for the ability to “sting” the opponent in the last thirty meters and also decide to finish at the net. The thinking heads are there ”.

“The last time at Al Maradona, it was also Stefano Pioli’s first victory over Spalletti, who up to that point was dry against his Tuscan colleague. It was March and that match won with a goal from Giroud was one of the scudetto turning points for the Rossoneri. That evening Pioli redesigned Milan who spent a night at 4-1-4-1 with Tonali low in front of the defense to contain the attacking midfielder Zielinski and Bennacer with Kessie high to go and attack the ball carriers Lobotka and Fabian Ruiz. In fact, Napoli did not manage to build much, but today the AC Milan move may not have the same effectiveness, if only because now the Azzurri mainly adopt the 4-3-3 “.
