Zero-Point Start: Stroppa Refuses to Sign Free Agents, Remains Committed to Tactical Philosophy Despite Injury Crisis

Stroppa stated in the pre-match press conference that Venezia's 0-point start was regrettable, but no tactical adjustments would be made. The injury crisis continues: Dagasso, Bashich, and Buxho are all absent, with Buxho's return timeline remaining uncertain. The head coach explicitly stated he would not sign free agents, noting that 4-5 midfielders are available. Juan-Jesus was solid defensively against Fiorentina, while Berra-Kosa and Adorante have recovered to running. Moreno can fill in three defensive positions, and Adams and Rahman can play simultaneously. Stroppa insists the team's fighting spirit is beyond reproach, but they urgently need to start collecting points soon.
