If you pay attention to the game pattern applied by Lazio coach, Marco Baroni in every match there will be some changes. It seems he adjusts his tactics based on the opponent they face. Marco Baroni often rotates some of his players to change positions or with players on his bench. Only a few players will continue to be used as starters. So too with the formation applied, sometimes he uses 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2, or 4-3-3. Apart from the draw obtained when facing Ludogorets, he is a coach who is difficult to predict.
His style of play and coaching is very different and that’s what has been given him an edge over opponents when they face in the Europa League. Allowing your opponent to know your next move is not a commendable way to play in an highly competitive game like this, they should rather see the changes only when the match is played and they’re unable to track how to understand and be at advantage. This has helped Lazio a lot and if they continue like this, I am certain they’ll make progress to the next round and beyond.
So far Manchester United are still quite good in the UEFA Europa League. Although they are in 12th place in the standings, they are still unbeaten in the UEL. They have won 2 of their last 2 matches even though they were actually only against mediocre teams. I think it is still difficult to determine whether Amorim has succeeded in making United better at this time. They were able to beat PAOK with a score of 2-0 but they struggled to beat the mediocre FK Bodø/Glimt. But Amorim has shown positive changes. At this time we cannot expect Amorim to make United like Sporting because Amorim got the team left by Ten Hag and not the team with the players he wanted. I think United will make player purchases in the winter transfer market.
Winter transfer market is not bad for Amorim to make some more purchase of new players but with what he’s showing now at the club, he may want to still utilize most of the current players now. For him to be rotating them most of the time they’re playing shows how much he wants the players to understand and adapt to any formation he wants to use in the game. The Europa league is indeed off to a good one for Manchester United from the arrival of Amorim. Let’s see what their next game result will be in the Europa League, as for premier league, they already conquered this weeks match and will be getting ready for their next week encounter which they will also want to win to improve their stand on the table.
