Napoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski believes that Rino Gattuso’s decision to revert to a 4-3-3 system will benefit everyone. “It’s our natural formation.”
The Partenopei played in a 4-3-3 for three years under Maurizio Sarri, but recently departed coach Carlo Ancelotti adopted a 4-4-2, which didn’t quite work for many of the players.
Napoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski believes that Rino Gattuso’s decision to revert to a 4-3-3 system will benefit everyone. “It’s our natural formation.”
The Partenopei played in a 4-3-3 for three years under Maurizio Sarri, but recently departed coach Carlo Ancelotti adopted a 4-4-2, which didn’t quite work for many of the players.
“I think we are working on our old system, the 4-3-3, it's our natural formation, and it’s where I feel most comfortable. My natural role is on the left hand side of a midfield three, and with Gattuso I believe I can interpret the role better,” the Polish international told Radio Kiss Kiss.
Zielinski asserts that Napoli haven’t been good enough this season and they need a win against Sassuolo before the Christmas break.
“Gattuso is recharging us, and this is what we need to start again. We have to give a strong performance on Sunday.
“We aren’t looking for alibis. The team is aware that the blame for the results is above all ours for what we’ve produced so far.
“To tell the truth, in some games we have deserved to win, but if we didn’t it means we were not up to it.”
