Pisa, Gilardino’s squad for the match against Napoli: Touré, Stengs, and Denoon out

The Nerazzurri coach will have to rethink his tactical choices to face the Italian champions led by Antonio Conte. The absences of Touré, Stengs, and Denoon reduce the options especially in midfield and attack, but Gilardino will be able to rely on the experience of players like Raul Albiol and Aebischer, as well as the physical presence of Nzola up front.

An important test for Gilardino

Against Napoli, Pisa faces a match of great prestige. The goal will be to limit the offensive quality of the Azzurri and try to strike on the counterattack. Gilardino will focus on defensive solidity and the ability to make the most of every opportunity.
