Why this matchup matters

Two football ideas, one impossible night

Marcello Lippi's Juventus 2002/03 bring 4-4-2 and two strikers with wide forwards. Antonio Conte's Napoli 2025/26 answer with 4-3-3 and direct attack with wide forwards; the matchup is decided by which side can impose that identity without exposing its weakest transition.
