Tactical Identity
3-5-2Mid BlockAlt: 4-3-3In poss: 4-2-3-1 / 3-5-2 transitioning — De Rossi uses a 4-2-3-1 when building, Frendrup and second pivot as the double anchorOut of poss: 3-5-2 compact block — Norton-Cuffy and LWB as press triggers from wide; physical aerial defending

Gritty, combative, organized under De Rossi. Frendrup as the midfield engine. Norton-Cuffy providing width. Deep block, physical defending, aerial strength.

De Rossi stabilized after Vieira resigned (20th). Pragmatic approach focused on defensive solidity first. Frendrup (Denmark) is a genuine box-to-box quality midfielder who will attract attention. Jeff Ekhator (19, €13m) is the exciting young striker. Romanian ownership (Dan Șucu) has opened new scouting pipelines.
