Europa League 2020-21

[Sleeping Giant]

We need to work on the defensive phase, the players seem confused while defending. They are not sure who to mark. This is an attacking system, when we attack you can see the organisation, the passing and the players can open up the opponents. This team can't sit back to defend and this is a problem. A better CB is only part of the equation, Pioli need to work on the defensive system, you can see sometimes we have 3 players on 1 guy while some of the opponents are left alone to do their stuffs.

The problem is that all the defenders we have now, Roma, Kjaer, Gabbia are slow, We need a faster CB in order to play our high pressing game and better and faster positioning. None of Roma, Kjaer or Gabbia can handle pacey players. Our Primvera guy Bellodi did looked bit fast in friendlies but I can't have my trust on such young and inexperienced dude.

Nastasic, Milenkovic(not so fast but faster than our current roster), Ajer are all relatively quick defenders. But again Nastastic is injury prone, Ajer is coming from Scotland league and inexperience for Italy(but I will take him), Milenkovic expensive. Another name name which I would like to have fulfill above criteria is Sokratis, he is free next season but could be bought for small fee from Arsenal as he fallen down the pecking order, he is experienced, relatively quicker, cheap. I will get him but still he is not my priority.
