Gattuso outlines role for Lazio's Adrian Przyborek in new formation

Summary

Lazio head coach Gennaro Gattuso has identified the potential role of 19-year-old Adrian Przyborek after a few weeks of training. Following his €4.5 million transfer from Pogon Szczecin in January, Przyborek is set for a bigger role this season as Gattuso implements a 4-2-3-1 formation. However, Gattuso sees Przyborek fitting as a 'Mezz’ala', or outside midfielder, rather than an attacking midfielder, raising questions about his fit in the tactical setup. Lazio may still pursue a new midfielder to fill the advanced role after missing out on Jonathan Asp Jensen, with reports indicating interest in Fiorentina players.
