Gasperini ponders 4231 system vs Juventus

Gian Piero Gasperini received positive feedback from his 4-2-3-1 formation during the match against Cremonese, and it’s possible the Grugliasco-born coach will use it again in future matches.

“Being able to use it in matches, not just in training, gives you a little more confidence,” the coach said in the pre-match press conference on the eve of the Juventus game regarding a change in formation. Gasp also explained why it might be a better fit for Roma’s squad: “Right now, we have a lot of midfielders available who are performing well, while perhaps we’re a bit lacking on the attacking flanks.” It’s possible the Giallorossi will deploy this new formation against Juventus.

In the final morning test, Il Tempo reports, Gasperini will resolve any remaining doubts regarding the lineup.

If he were to opt for a back four, Daniele Ghilardi would be sacrificed, with Neil El Aynaoui ready to play as a midfielder alongside Manu Koné. Bryan Cristante would operate as an attacking midfielder, supporting Malen.
