The only thing i can get with all of what is happening... is that Conte is pushing for a formation change to a 4312 with Llorente Osvaldo upfront supported by Tevez and all of them in front of the new MVP workforce. We played on equal against Madrid with this formation. Everyone saw that.
Then, if we get Berardi/Manolo.. it seems conte will be able to use the 433 also when needed, in a trio of Osvaldo,llorente,Berardi/Manolo. Tevez will be benched in this formation unless he adapts.
If Conte is aiming for this, then is worth a shot...but ONLY if he is able to buy Osvaldo on a heavy discount (no more than 10 mils would be the goal), and Berardi or Manolo on the cheap.
This makes a lot of sense specially since we take in consideration that we are not playing to our fullest in the 352 now that Pirlo is in garbage form and maybe he is starting his decline. Anyways, keeping the 352 to accomodate a very old Pirlo doesnt make sense.. that is, if we are serious about the CL.
Then, finish with the icing on the cake and buy a REAL and effective winger/crosser to complement our right wing or left wing or wingbacks...and then ill undertand why marotta is doing all this.
