With multiple media confirming that Ukrainian striker Andriy Dovbik is about to officially join Roma, this transfer has undoubtedly injected new energy and expectation into Roma's offensive line. After Lukaku's decision to return to Chelsea, Roma quickly found this efficient and stable scorer as a replacement, signaling a positive change in the team's offensive tactics for next season.
Reinvention of the offensive system
De Rossi, as Roma's head coach, will face the challenge of reconstructing the team's offensive system. The addition of Dovbic provides Roma with more diverse attacking options. He can either play alone as a single striker or form a tacit cooperation with his teammates and deploy flexibly on the field. This flexibility will make Roma's offense more unpredictable and the opponents will face more pressure in defense.
Dovbik vs. Lukaku.
Although both Dovbic and Lukaku are left-footed strikers, there are significant differences between the two in terms of style and character. Lukaku is known for his strong body and excellent scoring ability, but his performances last season were slightly up and down. In contrast, Dovbik is not as big as Lukaku, but his movement speed and ability to run without the ball is much better, which allows him to create more offensive opportunities on the field. In addition, Dovbik has shown great consistency and continuity over the past two seasons, which are key qualities that Roma value.
Girona's glory days
In his last season with Girona, Dovbic led the team to qualify for the Champions League with amazing performances. He scored 24 goals and contributed 8 assists in the league, proving his all-round ability as a striker. Dovbik is not only good at scoring goals, but also knows how to help his teammates score through precise assists, and this team spirit will be an important factor for his success in Roma.
future outlook
With the addition of Dovbic, Roma's attacking line will become more diverse and threatening. De Rossi will be able to design a variety of attacking tactics around the Ukrainian striker, such as having Dybala behind him to provide support, and wing players such as Sule to create chances on the flanks. In addition, Dovbic's confidence in Roma's plans will inspire the entire team to show more fighting spirit and cohesion in tournaments such as the UEFA Cup.
