Main focus on Verona and their new head coach for me in this tie.

Di Francesco, who was regarded as one of the “Next big things” in the Italian managers compartment, and even had a spell at AS Roma, has been unable to make anything work in the past few years. In fact, Verona is the 3rd club for the 51-year old specialist and it does not look promising on paper. To call things by their names, Di Francesco flopped anywhere he worked since 2019. He lasted only 8 games at Sampdoria at the start of 19/20 season recording a 2-0-6 balance in the process with an astonishing 7:17 goal difference.

Then he switched to Cagliari as the management was trying to keep the club out of the relegation - and again the assignment did not work out. With all the decent players at hand, Di Fra was shown out the door in February 2021 after 3 consecutive 0:1 defeats.

Now he is given Verona after Juric work has come to a logical end and the project really needs some sort of revival. Indeed, the management is doing exactly that and has been adding new players to the roster during the summer transfer window. Evidently, it will automatically require time and glueing as changes are made on all levels and the team as a unit has to welcome Di Francesco’s ideas. Speaking of the latter’s formation preferences, over the years he’s mainly used 4231 modules, while he inherits 3421 from Juric. It remains to be seen how well Verona reacts should Di Fra decide to adjust tactics to his preferred vision.

Sassuolo also have a new manager running the dressing room - former Empoli boss Dionisi. He comes to end the De Zerbi era, who had done a great job in charge and clearly took the club to the next level. In everyone’s opinion this transition should go much smoother for Sassu, than Verona’s switch from Juric to Di Francesco. Dionisi had an impressive spell at Empoli in Serie B and he clearly inherits a functionally superior team with the likes of Euro’20 champion Berardi leading the attacking third. Offensive compartment is still strong and versatile with Traore (now bought out from Empoli) and Boga providing service for lone striker Caputo. Centre-forward Scamacca has returned from Genoa loan and could prove one of the 21/22 season revelations.

This should be a close encounter, where Sassuolo should find a way to take points home through superior attack, which so often becomes the deciding factor in Serie A these days.

在这场比赛中我主要关注维罗纳和他们的新主教练。

迪弗朗切斯科被认为是意大利主教练的“下一个大人物”之一，甚至曾在罗马效力过一段时间，但在过去的几年里，他一直没有任何表现。事实上，维罗纳是这名51岁的专家加盟的第三家俱乐部，从纸面上看，他的加盟前景并不乐观。直呼其名，自2019年以来，Di Francesco在任何他工作的地方都失败了。在19/20赛季开始的时候，他只在桑普多利亚打了8场比赛，并以惊人的7:17的净胜球领先对手2-0-6。

然后他转投了卡利亚里，因为俱乐部的管理层正试图让俱乐部免于降级——而这次转会再次没有成功。在所有优秀的球员在场的情况下，迪弗拉在2021年2月被淘汰，此前他曾连续3场0:1失利。

现在他被给予维罗纳后，朱里奇的工作已经来到一个合乎逻辑的结束，项目真的需要一些复兴。事实上，管理层正在做的正是这样的事情，并且已经在夏季转会窗口增加了新的球员。显然，这将自动需要时间和胶合，因为所有级别的更改，团队作为一个单位必须欢迎Di Francesco的想法。说到后者的阵型偏好，多年来他主要使用4231个模块，而他继承了Juric的3421。如果迪福拉决定调整战术，维罗纳的反应如何，还有待观察。

萨索洛也有了一位新教练来管理更衣室——前恩波利主帅迪奥尼西。他结束了德泽比的时代，德泽比在管理方面做得很好，显然把俱乐部带到了下一个水平。在每个人看来，对于萨苏来说，这种转变应该比维罗纳从尤里奇到迪弗朗切斯科的转变要顺利得多。迪奥尼西在乙级恩波利的表现令人印象深刻，他显然继承了一支功能强大的球队，像20年欧锦赛冠军贝拉尔迪这样的人领导着进攻第三。由于特劳雷(现在已经从恩波利买断)和博加为卡普托提供了服务，进攻阵容依然强大且多才多艺。中锋斯卡卡已经从热那亚租借回来，他可能会成为21/22赛季的新星之一。

这应该是一场近距离的交锋，萨索洛应该找到一种方法，通过出色的进攻将积分带回家，这在最近的意甲联赛中经常成为决定因素。
