As reported by Il Corriere della Sera in this morning's print edition, the idea of deploying the "Fabulous Four" in the front line is generating a lot of curiosity.
Head coach Sérgio Conceição is a pragmatic man, and as widely reported, he will bench both Gimenez and Rafael today, as neither is in top condition.
The Portuguese forward will be sent to the bench… also to reflect.
This marks his second consecutive exclusion, a clear message to push for more. If it weren’t for the crucial Champions League match on the horizon, today’s potential exclusion would likely be seen as a real demotion.
