Rome is playing a no-striker tactic!
They don't have a traditional center forward.
If you have to define their formation, it's similar to 460.
Inter Milan's coach Mancini is very familiar with the no-striker tactic Rome is using tonight.
His thoughts were instantly pulled back to Serie A ten years ago.
This inevitably brings up Mancini's old rival in the battle for the Serie A title a decade ago, Spalletti.
In 2005, when Mancini first took charge at Inter, Udinese's coach Spalletti received an offer from the Rome club and officially became the coach of the Red Wolf.
Old fans who love Serie A wouldn't forget: at this time, Rome was in a rare low point for the club.
The team management was chaotic, outstanding players were leaving in large numbers, and at this time, Rome's management had repeatedly failed with new coaches. Spalletti's arrival was essentially the management's last gamble to get the team back on track.
