Lazio's Tactical Shifts: Gattuso Considers Changes After Coppa Italia Loss
Lazio returned to their training ground in Formello yesterday morning, following a day of rest granted by coach Gennaro Gattuso. The team has begun preparations for their league debut on Monday against Bologna. An immediate response is needed, especially after the manner of their defeat to Mantova in the Coppa Italia.
Gattuso is not looking to completely overhaul the team's structure established during pre-season, but he may opt to make changes to some of the players on the field. The primary areas of concern are the attack and midfield. On the right flank, according to il Corriere dello Sport, Noslin is challenging Cancellieri, who had several opportunities against Mantova but failed to capitalize on them. The Dutch player has impressed Gattuso and can be deployed on the wings or in a more central attacking role. The decision regarding this position will be made during the week.
In the central striker position, Dia remains the favorite over Ratkov, while also awaiting developments in the transfer market and the potential arrival of Bamba Dieng. A change might also occur in midfield, where Frattesi is already aiming for a starting spot after his appearance in the second half against Mantova.
There are few alternatives in defense. Barring any surprises, the back four in front of Mandas is expected to remain unchanged, consisting of Marusic, Doekhi, Provstgaard, and Pedraza.
