Trap adopts Roma style
football Italia
Giovanni Trapattoni has announced a Roma-style system with Francesco Totti, Antonio Cassano and Fabio Bazzani to face Romania.
The Roma captain missed the 3-1 defeat in Poland due to a hip problem, but is reunited with his club teammate Cassano in a new trident attack.
Damiano Tommasi and Christian Panucci are also Giallorossi stars included in the first team for Sunday’s friendly against Romania.
Sampdoria striker Fabio Bazzani made his debut in the final minutes of the Warsaw game, but earns his first full cap this weekend in Ancona’s Stadio Del Conero.
The defence undergoes massive changes for this experimental match, with Massimo Oddo and Matteo Ferrari stepping in.
One intriguing switch sees Gianluca Zambrotta return to his old position on the right side of midfield, leaving behind the successful experience at left-back.
Trapattoni adopted the new 4-2-3-1 system during 2003, but will start against Romania with a different tactic.
The Azzurri will mirror Fabio Capello's Roma side with a three man midfield and trident attack.
Italy: Toldo; Oddo, Cannavaro, Ferrari, Panucci; Zambrotta, Perrotta, Tommasi; Totti, Cassano; Bazzani
