Tactical Identity
4-3-1-2Low BlockAlt: 4-4-2In poss: 4-3-1-2 / 3-5-2 — Pisacane switches between systems; Gaetano as the No.10 link between midfield and twin strikersOut of poss: 4-4-2 / 5-3-2 compact mid-block — disciplined shape, set-piece and defensive structure the priority

Combative, physical, set-piece focused. Deep mid-block, organized but leaky (42 GA). Marco Palestra the standout as an attacking RB. Caprile (Napoli, permanent) solid in goal.

Survival football under club legend Pisacane in his first managerial role. Heavy reliance on loans from bigger clubs with limited permanent quality. The real story is Marco Palestra (21, Atalanta loan, now €30m!) who has been so good that Atalanta and multiple top clubs are circling. Kılıçsoy (Beşiktaş loan) provides goal threat. With 7W and 9D, avoiding relegation looks achievable.
