Gasperini to use Dybala as false nine vs Parma | OneFootball

Paulo Dybala is back in action.

This afternoon at 6:30 PM, Roma will face Parma at the Olimpico, and the Argentine could start again.

This is his fourth consecutive appearance, a consistency not seen in almost a year. Under Claudio Ranieri, the number 21 made 10 consecutive appearances before his injury. Now, however, he looks like a different player: light, fit, and close to his best form.

His double goal, first against Plzen and then against Sassuolo, has restored the striker’s confidence. The 1993-born player has returned to being a technical and mental force, and now only physical fitness can stop him. Restarting him against Parma could be a risky move, considering that AC Milan will play Roma on Sunday, November 2nd.

However, Il Tempo reports that Dybala is certain of a place in the match against Parma. Gasperini will have to decide whether to deploy him as an attacking midfielder or behind the center forward.

The Giallorossi want to break the Olympic silence, where they’ve been without a win for a month, and to break down Carlos Cuesta’s organized defense, superior technique might be needed, so players like Matias Soulé, Lorenzo Pellegrini, and the Argentine playmaker will be useful.
