The big names in our football are starting to get serious in midfield. An aspect highlighted today by Luigi Garlando on Gazzetta dello Sport. And there is no lack of past references: “Construction: Pirlo. Interdiction: Gattuso. Finishing: Totti. We won the last World Cup in 2006 thanks to the iron defense of Buffon and Cannavaro, a golden ball, but also ( above all) thanks to three absolute excellences in midfield. The Milan that raised the Champions League in Athens the following year was founded on an Olympic quadrilateral: Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf, Kaka. Inter of the last Champions Italian, that of Triplet: Zanetti, Thiago Motta, Stankovic, Sneijder. You can’t escape: it is in the middle of the field that you win and make history“says the journalist of the rosea.
“It is not a case that Mancini raised the national team by focusing on the midfield and such profiles: Stretcher, Tonali, Pellegrini, Castrovilli … They should do it too Juve and Inter who have their weak point in the midfield – underlines Garlando -. The arrival of Eriksen he necessarily converted 3-5-2 to 3-4-1-2. With Judge an external of equal prestige and offensive attitude is coming. Therefore the median must change. Much less is needed Brozovic, who holds too much ball and who has never completed his leader maturity. Better two combat interiors, such as Barella and Tonali, one of which (Tonali) led to quick verticalization and long launch for the exteriors. Without due proportions, since he arrives from Brescia, Tonali could build with Eriksen the axis that the young Pirlo built with Baggio. Tonali can also afford a part-time apprentice first season. Self Marotta manages to get in the role a first choice at an international level, maybe not De Bruyne but similar stuff, much better for Conte. Maybe of good physicality which Inter in the middle does not abound. A young Vieira directing and covering. And then second more solid lines of Neighbour e Gagliardini, miss this year. In any case, the assault by Juve and Inter against Europe must start from midfield “.
