This is the great questioning of the composition of Roberto de Zerbi’s team: will he renew his system in 3-4-2-1 as he did without discontinuing from November 23 to April 19 or will he favor his favorite system in 4-3-3, with which he returned to the last match against Brest? “”Each match is prepared differentlyI don’t think Brest and Lille are similar teams“replied Geoffrey Kondogbia when he was asked if the passage to 4 last Sunday was a way of working for the trip to the North.
“We will see if we play 3 or 4 behind, we know how to do both. The best system this season, given the characteristics of my players, remains the one with three central and two environmentsagreed the Italian coach. Admittedly, we have changed against Brest but I have not yet decided what we will do, I will do it tomorrow morning.“
The fact that Lille will probably play two attackers (Chuba Akpom, Jonathan David) in a 4-4-2 (even if the Canadian is announced slightly dropped) is an argument that can make Zerbi think, a little like Marcelo Bielsa which always aligned three centrals against two forward-in-centers. “”In this case, having three axial defenders can give us a digital advantage“Confirms” RDZ “, one of the principles of play is to create the excess from its surface to unbalance the opponent.
What could be put in place while remaining in 4-3-3, going down Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg with each first stimulus, as has been seen in several matches in recent months.
