Ilic takes the place of the injured Veloso
Igor Tudor’s Verona trained at the Sporting Center “Paradiso”, who made his debut on the Hellas bench in the first leg match, on the eve of this afternoon’s match, at 18, at the Olympic Stadium against José Mourinho’s Roma. The Gialloblù players, under the orders of the Croatian coach, held a session focused on speed, technical exercise and tactical work.
A difference of the Special One, Tudor will have almost the entire group for the trip to Rome: in addition to the long-term residents Dawidowicz, Frabotta and the second goalkeeper Pandur, Miguel Veloso, will only be missing. Hellas will take the field with the usual 3-4-1-2: in front of Montipò there will be Casale, Gunter and Ceccherini. Faraoni and Lazovic will act on the outside, while in the center, near Tameze, it will be the Serbian Ilic who will take Veloso’s place. Davant will be there Simeone, supported by Caprari and Barak.
The goalkeeper of Verona, Lorenzo Montipò, gave a long interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport, in which he also spoke, obviously, of the upcoming match against Roma. The goalkeeper, in particular, focused on Tammy Abraham, the Giallorossi center forward, who will face this afternoon, with words of praise for the Englishman: «I studied him. He is dangerous to face because he is a very and at the same time very technical player. And to be in his first year in Italy he has already scored a lot-continued Montipò-. Playing against it is a great opportunity for me: I see challenges in this way ».
