Hellas Verona manager Paolo Zanetti addressed the media ahead of Monday night’s Serie A fixture against Monza. The coach provided insights into his team’s preparation and his perspective on their opponents.
Zanetti emphasized the quality of Monza’s squad, stating, “Nesta’s team is built for different objectives. It’s difficult for me to think that such a roster could be involved in a relegation battle. However, we’re only at the beginning, and we’ll be ready on the battlefield.”
Regarding potential tactical changes, Zanetti remained flexible: “What formation will we adopt? Will it still be the 4-4-2 seen against Venezia? Football is moving towards new strategies, and beyond the numbers on paper, mentality and flexible players are needed. The team has shown it can perform well with four at the back too. We need to be aggressive and control the game, especially in front of our home crowd.”
The coach’s comments suggest that while he respects Monza’s potential, he is confident in his team’s ability to adapt and compete. Verona’s tactical approach may be fluid, with an emphasis on aggression and controlling the match’s tempo, particularly with home advantage.
