Tactical Identity
3-5-2Low BlockAlt: 4-3-3In poss: 3-5-2 — Bradarić and Belghali as attacking wing-backs; Orban isolated up front with Suslov as the linkOut of poss: 5-3-2 deep narrow block — minimal pressing, retreat and defend; set-piece dependency for any threat
Desperate; lacks quality and identity. Direct and set-piece reliant. Deep narrow block but still conceding heavily (52 GA). Virtually relegated with 18 points from 30 games.
Interim appointment Sammarco replaced Zanetti after an impossible first half of the season left Verona in 20th. 3W from 30 games is one of the worst records in Serie A history for a winter survival. Galatasaray loans (Nelsson, Al-Musrati) proved insufficient. Complete squad overhaul needed for Serie B. Historically Verona has been excellent at developing and selling talent — that pipeline is the club's real asset.
