A solid defense and a mobile attack always seeking depth: Sir Claudio will rely on the 3-5-2 and 4-4-2 formations to line up the red-and-yellows. Here are the players who might shine again in this new Roman team.

The return of Ranieri must bring mentality and serenity to Trigoria – as well as a pronounced Romanism. But above all, a fairly basic style of play that should immediately provide confidence and solidity to a team that, over the last two months, lost its way while trying too hard to follow the stringent dogmas of Juric. High press (often applied superficially), and a foosball-like 3-4-2-1 trapped the most skilled players and yielded much to the opponents. In the Serie A, only teams below 12th place performed worse than Roma in terms of shots on goal allowed (4.42 every 90 minutes) and goals conceded (1.42 every 90 minutes). Hence, one of Claudio Ranieri’s first tasks will be to restore the defensive balance that has been missing since Mourinho’s departure. Solid defense and a mobile attack, always seeking depth: to deploy the “giallorossi” Sir Claudio will rely on the 3-5-2 and the 4-4-2 formations. Here’s who will shine the brightest in this new Ranieri-branded Rome.
