Some Italian paper is predicting this.
Although i support Conte's 4-2-4 in the future, it would be wise not to throw out the 4-4-2(half-wing) system that worked well for half a year. Basically a 4-3-3 anyway with either Elia or Krasic getting the freedom.
And if the LB starts getting raped, probably won't be long before we switch to the-
Chiello- Barzagli - Bonucci(Sor)- Licht defense.
