More than an idea, a vision to overcome the emergency. Marco Baroni he is studying all the possible hypotheses to manage the too many absences in midfield that he will have to face on Sunday at Maradona. In fact, against Napoli there will be no injured Vecino and suspended Rovella, to whom Castrovilli must be added who, if he were to recover, will only be able to do so on the bench. A full-blown emergency which effectively leaves Baroni alone with Guendouzi and Dele-Bashiru as midfielders, with the latter having disappointed in Parma and who as a midfielder in the two-man midfield is not seen by the coach. This is why Baroni is forced to study alternative options and the latest idea would lead to Patric advancing alongside Guendouzi, in a solution that is as experimental as it is risky, especially if the league leaders are in front of you.
Lazio, summer choices and the foreseeable emergency
Yet it wasn’t so unthinkable that Lazio would find themselves in this condition. The summer market featured the Lazio of many choices, some of which arrived in the last hours of the market. The club wanted to give up Cataldi to definitively turn the page and bring a new atmosphere to the locker room, but not having replaced him revealed a numerical problem in midfield. Lazio have five midfielders, but Dele-Bashiru is far from a ready project, Castrovilli has a worrying injury history and Vecino in turn regularly flirts with some muscle ailment. You could guess that the blanket was short, Lazio made a bet that paid off until last week, then Vecino’s knockout against Ludogorets and Rovella’s yellow card against Parma opened Pandora’s box. Lazio will go to Naples in the midst of an emergency and Baroni will have to be good at managing it until January, when the club will intervene on the transfer market. Lotito and Fabiani accepted Baroni’s request, in January a reinforcement will arrive in midfield but he will have to be under 22, so as to be able to include him in the Serie A list.
