Roma Weigh Dybala as False Nine for Inter Match Tonight
Gian Piero Gasperini is balancing technical control against a classic target-man approach to challenge Inter’s defense.
Overview
- Reports indicate Gasperini may start Paulo Dybala centrally as a false nine when Roma host Inter at the Stadio Olimpico tonight.
- A final call is expected close to kickoff, with the forward line identified as the key unresolved decision.
- If a traditional striker is selected, Artem Dovbyk is currently favored ahead of Evan Ferguson according to La Gazzetta-based reporting.
- Kostas Tsimikas and Devyne Rensch are competing to cover the left flank due to Angeliño’s injury.
- The match carries added context for Dybala, who held talks with Inter in 2022, has 42 goals in 117 Roma appearances, and is in the final year of his contract.
