Who goes up
Everyone is crazy about Azzi. But the explosiveness of the Brazilian winger would be a double-edged sword without the obscure work of Lella, the true backbone of the left-wing chain who has the most thankless but essential part to maintain balance. By hook or by crook, the Apulian midfielder buffers and cushions the blow without ever letting his guard down. A life as a halfback, recovering balls, covering certain areas, playing generously. If then there is the possibility of attacking, one certainly does not have to pray. He is very good at entering the opposing area, even in Reggio Calabria he came close to scoring twice. Not just heart, lungs and competitive spirit, then. So he immediately won the trust of his teammates, then that of Ranieri who doesn't hesitate to put him on the field as soon as he can.
Who goes down
The door looks like it's across the Strait. Many try, he doesn't, busy as he is making his way through the amaranth defenders who are on him like mussels. And even when he could carve out a favorable situation of his own around goalkeeper Colombi, he lacks the decisive leap. He fights and slams for the team and - for now - that's fine with Ranieri. Also because his is not a fight against windmills but functional to the department and, in particular, to Lapadula. The Slovenian forward, in fact, has a specific weight up front, he's a first striker, he takes one or two opponents for a walk at a time, thus leaving the field open to the Italian-Peruvian. In the meantime, study Italian football and try to catch up with your teammates also from a tactical point of view.
