It seems we'll see Marchisio instead of Pirlo and Peluso - Isla on the flanks
with Osvaldo - Tevez upfront.
Seems like a good comprimise.
Sacrificing creativity for defensive covering in the center, sacrificing defence for crossing wingbacks on the flank, and the faster CF.
For me, this tells me that conte isnt going to domminate the game, but counter lyon's tactics from a more passive defensive formation instead, with long balls(bonucci) and early crossing. This should stretch the gap between defence and midfield, in wich the BtB cm's will dive into
Good strategy if your highest concern is defensive organisation. But it wont be pretty to watch for fans of flair and fancy
Why Tevez when we have important Udinese game coming?
Cause it makes tactical sense, Cause its not that important (the udinese game), and cause we'll probably sub vucinic and giovinco in at '60-'70
