Massimiliano Allegri, the coach of SSC Napoli, is working on finding solutions to manage Rasmus Højlund's playing minutes, given the importance of the Danish striker in the team's system and the need to avoid relying on him continuously in the upcoming period.
According to the data, Massimiliano Allegri does not yet have full confidence in Lorenzo Lucca's ability to provide the necessary guarantees when Højlund is absent, which is leading him to explore other attacking options to give the Dane some rest.
Among the proposed solutions is the possibility of relying on Vergara or David Neres in the false nine position, instead of fielding a traditional striker. This option could provide SSC Napoli with greater flexibility in their attacking movements and change the way they build their attacks.
Therefore, it is not just about resting Højlund, but about the possibility of changing SSC Napoli's attacking shape according to the characteristics of the match, while giving Allegri additional options to deal with the pressure of matches and maintain the readiness of his Danish striker.
