The Chievo Verona manager insists his side may resort to man-marking to keep the Swede quiet; believes the Rossoneri will arrive angry from the Fiorentina defeat.
Domenico Di Carlo has underlined that his side will have to stop http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 from scoring in order to collect any points from the upcoming league game against the Rossoneri.
The two teams are set to collide on Sunday in their next Serie A fixture, and the tactician believes the Swede is the opposition’s primary threat. The Chievo manager insisted that the striker has a history of violating the Gialloblu defence, and revealed
that he is considering options like man-marking or crowding up the striker’s space, in an attempt to bar him from scoring against them.
While talking to the press, the former Sampdoria manager said:
“Ibrahimovic always scores against us. We’ll either need to man-mark him or we’ll have to cover space as best we can.”
Considering the actual facts, Ibrahimovic may just be a false nightmare for the coach, as the Swede has scored in just three of the nine appearances against the Flying Donkeys. Although the striker has scored five goals against the opposition, it is hard
to justify the quantum of fear taken in by the hosts of the upcoming game.
Di Carlo believes that AC Milan will come to the Mussi Volanti, like a hurt tiger after their unexpected humiliation at the hands of Fiorentina, and urged his team to prepare for a strong battle. The manager insisted that he expects his team to rise up to
the challenge, and display a good performance against the champions.
The Gialloblu coach insisted that the team is confident going into the game on the back of two successive victories, and just one point away from ensuring another season at Serie A.  The tactician insisted that the team has a good base to build on in the
match, and will need a spectacular effort to get a positive result from the game.
“Milan will arrive here in a foul mood after defeat to Fiorentina. I expect an important showing from my players. We will go into the game following two successive victories and just a point away from ensuring our Serie A status. We’ll need an extraordinary
performance to get a positive result.”
Chievo Verona are currently placed ninth in the Serie A points table, thanks to their 42 points in the season so far.
