"We're evolving every week," remarked manager Paolo Zanetti after Venezia's latest victory. This season, Venezia has adapted its tactical approach, shifting towards a more dynamic and fluid style of play that emphasizes ball retention and swift transitions.
Zanetti has introduced a formation that allows for versatility; most notably, the use of a 4-3-3 system has granted players the freedom to exploit space effectively. The midfield trio has been crucial in pressuring opponents and distributing the ball quickly. With players like E. Bohinen influencing the midfield architecture, Venezia can now maintain control throughout matches.
Defensively, the emphasis on collective pressing has made Venezia's backline more formidable. The defenders are instructed to push up and apply pressure, with R. Haps leading the charge in organizing defensive duties to prevent quick counter-attacks. This change has contributed to Venezia keeping clean sheets more regularly.
Match statistics highlight the success of this tactical overhaul. Venezia averages 58% possession, enabling them to dictate the pace of matches while also creating scoring opportunities. If this strategy continues to bear fruit, Venezia could easily solidify its standing in the league.
