After a light stretch in the hotel gym, the Uventus players sat together in the conference room as the manager unfurled a board with all sorts of things drawn and written on it.
"Alright boys, today is the day. You have trained hard and are prepared for the game, but there are some things we still need to discuss," Pirlo began, pointing at the board.
"As you already know, our opponents play a formation that looks like the 4-2-3-1 formation that is widely used these days, but is actually a 4-2-2-1-1 formation,"
"Four defenders, two central midfielders, two wingers, and two strikers, with one playing as a support to the main striker,"
"Of course, their dynamic formation can revert back to a 4-2-3-1 formation with wide two holding and wide midfielders, along with an attacking midfielder whenever they are playing defensively, but that doesn't happen very often," Pirlo said and the players nodded, agreeing with his words.
