Without Totti, Rome's strikerless formation is still thriving in Serie A, sitting high at second place, almost securing direct qualification for the next season's Champions League.
However, to overcome the challenge posed by Inter, more effort is required.
Because Inter is the second-best defensive team in the entire Serie A, only surpassed by Juventus!
In the 31 rounds of the league that have completed.
Inter has conceded only 29 goals, averaging less than one per game.
This is even under the premise that Mazzari's Inter was losing crazily in the first 11 rounds.
After 11 rounds, Mancini returned to Inter for a second term, and in the subsequent 20 league rounds, Mancini's Inter conceded only 13 goals, ranking first among all 20 Serie A teams during the same period!
Even the number of goals conceded is 2 fewer than the Serie A powerhouse, Juventus.
Those who know the business understand the tricks.
Therefore, Huang Jianxiang had long anticipated Mancini's adjustments.
