A night of “ordinary” madness. The armored night for the fans was born from a quick ordinance issued by the Mayor of Enschede Lazio on Dutch soil. For fear of possible clashes, also given last year’s precedents with Fiorentina fans, Mayor Roelof Bleker has locked down the hotels where the Biancocelesti fans stay, garrisoning them with the armed forces. A total violation of the freedom of the fans and any Italian tourist who happened to be in Enschede. The only concession, as reported by several colleagues present in the Netherlands, was the possibility of collecting orders placed in delivery services in order to eat. The ordinance will not apply today, with fans who will be able to visit the city and will have a dedicated fan zone available to them before the start of the match.
The choices of the two coaches
Diametrically opposite approaches for the two coaches at the start of the season. Marco Baroni he is giving continuity and confidence to his entire squad, rotating a lot especially in the Europa League. He will do it again this evening in Holland, where there will be the debut from the first minute of the only outfield player who has not yet played from the start, Samuel Gigot. At his side Romagnoli in the four-man line completed by Marusic and Pellegrini in front of Mandas, who is about to renew his contract until 2029. In the out midfield Guendouzi, whose condition is not a concern, Rovella will also rest, with Vecino and Dele-Bashiru who will play from first minute. In attack there is space for Dia, with Zaccagni, Pedro and Tchaouna in the attacking midfield. Same game system also for Twente, with coach Joseph Oosting who, unlike Baroni, makes very few rotations between the Europa League and the Eredivisie. Precisely for this reason they should confirm the same formation seen in the championship on Saturday in the 2-2 draw against bottom team Waalwijk. In front of goalkeeper Unnerstall, a four-man defensive line made up of van Rooij on the right, Salah-Eddine on the left with Hilgers and Bruns in the centre. In front of the defense made up of midfielders made up of Regeer and Vlap, captain van Wolfswinkel will start from the right in the attacking midfield, with Steijn in the center and van Bergen on the left. At the center of the attack is an old Serie A acquaintance Sam Lammers, scorer of the historic goal for the final 1-1 against Manchester United at Old Trafford on the first day of this stage of the Europa League.
