Simone Inzaghi philosophy is proving to be one of the most effective in Europe and Inter are very quickly running away with the serie A title. Not only are they winning games, but they are doing so in style. As it stands, they are top scorers in Europe’s top leagues, whilst also having the best defensive record.
To understand why they’re quickly becoming one of the most entertaining teams, we take a look at Inzaghi's Principles!

Wake up babe. An Inzaghi Inter tactical analysis finally dropped
How ?
I'm saying! 🔥👏
ok daddy
Because inter did a rotation. Impossible to play the same squad every match
It is unbelievable that almost no tactical analyst in YT dedicates time to Inzaghi's Inter.
who would have thought that losing brozovic will make the team even better this is madness
I believe if we still have him Barela gonna play better
@@kh6l3d hakan has been phenomenal he improved a lot under inzaghi's coaching
The work of demon hhha
I still prefered his quality in beating the first press. Hakan has other qualities but overall Brozovic is a better play IMO. Plus Hakan has the tendency of performing badly in big matches, except last year vs Barca, whilist Brozovic might have lost finals but he always performed. With Croatia as well.
@xdz1039 I agree. But with calha we play faster and play more progressive balls
Inzaghi makes the most of 5 substitutes nowadays as often the time he would sub both wing backs during 60-70 mins to make sure they have energy to run up and down. That’s why inter have 4-5 good wing backs and some of them can play on both sides like Damian and Buchanan. Been an inter fan for 20 years. We are enjoying our time. Wining CL needs a bit of luck. We want the 2nd star on our jersey.
I thought you guys had 3 Champions Leagues.
@@benjaminngopwaamos6878 They do, the stars are for league titles (each star is worth is 10 leagues)
@@lmsouza60 spot on
@@benjaminngopwaamos6878 we prioritise league title this year as we have 19 so far. Winning 20th means 2nd star on the jersey. (10 titles for 1 star)
If not for Bologna I would see treble sparks but not happening I guess😂
Inzaghi is cooking! I love to see them play for the last 2 years and I hope they reach finals again.
Let's hope he wins it
Inter will have NO CHANCE against Man City or Real Madrid!
@@Ze_Moose😂
I'm a Barça fan and other than my team, I'm rootimg for Inter in the UCL. We really need italian teams to start winning again
@Ze_Moose both city and Madrid are struggling a bit more than last season, while Inter improved, and last season, Inter nearly beat city in the final. Not to mention they have a very relaxed end of the seasln compared to City. They wouldn't be favorites against those teams, but they can surely win
I'm an AC Milan fan but man i'm impressed by Inter, amazing job from Inzaghi.
Go marry him then
And marotta
“Ac Milan fan” yeah sure.
@@DaxcellRam Why? Can't i be impressed how consistent they are this season, as a Milan fan.
@@ra-geThey dont know what it means to be a football fan. They are just overpraising their team and ignoring the obvious.
Huge respect to Mkhitaryan for turning his career around after his disaster spell with United, another Inzaghi masterclass right there being able to spot a midfield controller in a wide playmaker just like he did with Hakan. If you can even perform a role minimally, trust Inzaghi to maximize that potential. The man is a genius and this is easily the most impressive team to win Serie A since Conte's Juve machine.
To be fair, he already started to play (very well) in midfield as mezzala at Roma under Mourinho. Coming to Inter under Inzaghi has "just" perfected him in the position.
@@rp3351 He began his career as a box-to-box midfielder, for example he started as a CM for Shakhtar against Barcelona in both legs of their 2011 CL quarter-final. So he deserves some credit of his own for making the most of his own midfield pedigree in his later years.
Too many players saw their career becoming a disaster after joining United...
@@rp3351in Roma mostly Micky was playing as a CAM or CF BEFORE Mourinho and he was great at that role. I mean that's not Mourinho's achievment
@@rp3351 Agreed
As an Interista I loved this analysis and I can totally say this is 100% true. Henry talked about Inter the other day and I think he has led people astray about Inter. In my opinion, he made people think that Inter plays with an old style catenaccio in a 5-3-2 formation and searches for long balls in the spaces for Thuram and try the counter. It's not like that, as you amazingly explained. Inter plays a 5-3-2 when out of possession and only when the other team gains ground. I think it's normal to defend with all your players in those situations. But as soon as Inter gains possession back, the team opens up and starts building from the GK sending most of the players to the attack. You won't score 69 goals in 27 matches with just long passes to your strikers. Especially in Italy when 17 teams out of 20 actually use catenaccio and they try to steal the draw when facing Inter closing themselves in their area. Thank you for understanding Inter so well and thank you for this video!
Henry is a f... idiot... there must be a reason why he has failed in any coaching job he has ever took
17 teams are not playing catenaccio. 👍🏻 but I liked the rest you wrote.
@@patrick7124 yeah it was an exageration to say that most of the mid/low table teams (+ Juventus) tend to play more defensively against better teams
@@patrick7124 Generally no they aren't, but since most teams are afraid of Inter in Serie A they play extremely compact defensive games against them aiming to reduce spaces and play for a draw (or steal a win on a counter)
Non è un 532 come ha detto Henry, ma un 352 molto aggressivo
Revolutionary playstyle, they deserve more coverage
I think you missed a key point of Inzaghi's philosophy, the space aggression. In construction phase, defenders and midfielders always move toward any open space and the whole team rotates to cover up, switching positions. This is a nightmare to defend with 1-1 because it often drives offensive players back into defense where they either abort or anyways are in a very uncomfortable position (and force them to spend a lot of energy). Inter was built with 2 out of 3 cbs that could play also as midfielders (Bastoni and Pavard) so they are never out of position.
Yes the two strikers will make a great comeback as football is cyclical.
madrid play with 2 as well
@@ineverswag Only on starting lineup. In the game, they don't look like strikers.
It's not really about 1 striker or 2. But more about the roles and spaces that should be occupied in different situations. If you want a "10" in some situations and a second striker in others, you can use someone who is able to play both parts. And if you need a left wing in build up to stretch the defense it's not important if it is a left winger, left back, left midfielder or a second striker. It's just important that he can play in this role in this specific scenario and does occupy this space. When the game moves on, you might have a different role. With 2 strikers both must be versatile enough to play different roles during a game or an attacking sequence. And this makes it always difficult to know which defender is assigned to which offensive player, should a defender follow his opponent or hand him over.
@@philw6056 I like the way you think my friend but even in the past players had multiplle skillsets to excel in different zones ie the dutch school of total football now most people like to label players as their position and not by the roles they play ie Gattuso and Paul Scholes totally different skillsets but they are both labeled as CMs.
@@philw6056 Brentford have the similar idea of using 2 CF formation. Especially when Mbuemo is playing with Toney they work perfectly against almost all teams. They can draw at least 3 defenders which frees up space in flanks to attack . That type of combination is required for any team willing to play with 2 strikers.
Inter having a goal difference of +56 is wild and as a Milan fan, I cant help but admire what Simone is trying to pull off, they adapted to the loss of Onana and Brozo quite well and honestly they look like a team worthy of the ucl final again and if they met City in the ucl again, I am confident they would defeat them cause City are leaking goals like it is nobody's business even the misfiring Man Utd had some good chances which Rashford obviously squandered
Inter can finally beat city if they meet again in champions league finals. Because lakaka will not be there to messed things up for inter ❤😊
they were the better team in the final too but Lukaku pulled of Lukaku things@@AlexandriaTheSecond
You said you admire what "Simone is trying to pull off" But he is 20 points clear at this point. He already pulled it off. They already won the league. My AC Milan is not going to make up that ground unless they win by 2 goals against bottom table teams, which they can't do. Unfortunate for me but true.
yeah bro agree he"s already taken the Scudetto to the blue side of Milan but what I meant was that he could go all the way to Wembley and get them their fourth big ears and for us at AC, we still need to put in some work, we had a fantastic start to the season but kinda fell off around mid October @@d3w222
@@AlexandriaTheSecondso, about that...
I think that Hakan Calhanoglu is the key for inter. He is such a good passer, but not very press resistant. This means that teams will look press him, to not give him time to playmake. Because if you dont he will dominate the game. This then plays into Inters hand, since as you said, they want to be pressed.
when this happens, Mhikitaryan and Barella drop back and the two wide CBs push higher to create more triangles. got to watch the whole game fella, not just some highlights
last three matches without him: 4-0, 4-0, 2-1
@francescocolombo4605 those were not our best performances, we need him near 100% to beat athleti next week
@@johnappleseed8146 ofc we need him in big stages. but asllani is 21 and is good too and mister Inzaghi can catch the best from everyone. forza inter fratello
Actually inter wants to press him because that will leave space open for other positions. However Brozovic was much more prone to lose the ball or pass backwards when pressed
Well done. There’s a lot of credit to go around for the success of this team. Onana for getting shipped out to fund Frattesi and Pavard’s arrival. Marotta for finally reeling in Thuram after his injury 2 seasons ago cost us an initial transfer - only this time for free. Then his work to get Augusto so we can sub DiMarco at the 70th and have no drop in quality. To Ausilio for finding Bisseck who has been a joy to watch after Pavard was injured for a month and didn’t have to be rushed into returning. And the manager formally known as Lemone who is now called Demone. He has asked for little and remade this squad beyond anyone’s imagination. Finally, the players have all bought in, understand their roles, reined in their egos and have learned from their mistakes from last season. Watching their joy over Ashland’s first Inter goal on Monday shows how tight a group they are. A great story so far.
Asllani is only 21 years old. He's impressive on set pieces, I wonder how he'll be in 4 years time!
I'm watching football for 30 years, has anyone played 3-5-2 in this way? I don't think so. I think Inzaghi found something new and will change football. Even Guardiola last season adopted some things from this Inter.
Im Inter fan since 1998..and they never played this good...last yers Champions league finals prove them that they can play good with evryone..so this season they play with confidence,atomic football..i dont know who can defeat them this year...in italy,no one is close by mile
Sassuolo left the chat@@LoboTheMainMan-mf6kl
I think Pep played his 3-5-2 this way in the first half of season 17/18 with Sane and Walker as wing backs
@@LoboTheMainMan-mf6klyou better study English first man
Gasperini has pioneered playing 3-5-2 formation as an offensive formation already back in 16/17 with Atalanta. Inzaghi is like a next gen evolution of Gasperini's tactics. Even some Conte's 3-5-2 (not all) were very offensive albeit still in a less fluid way than Inzaghi's or Gasperini's
Pep has watched this 18 times already. We'll be seeing Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva sat in at CB in no time.

Pep doesn’t pay any attention to this low quality nonsense, wont be seeing these in a final this year.

Simone inzaghi used to be a striker,it is actually amazing and unique what he is achieving, usually the most successful managers are former midfielder,and as a Juve supporter im seriously impressed and a bit jealous 😅
Strikers are also notoriously shit managers
Inzaghi is quite creative. Not only he mastered before many others the revolutionary consequences of the 5 substitutes for each games, but also many managers in Italy are starting to copy his habit of ALWAYS removing a player (regardless of his importance) that got a yellow card, to avoid eventual reds. Initially it was mocked as overly precautionary (to the point that the quote "Inzaghi is a racist because he's afraid of yellows" became a meme in Italy). But everyone quickly changed mind when they saw Inter never ever getting a red card because of this.

@@ibraCadabra303 it’s so funny
I don't know if you notice this or not, but as an Inter's Fan who watched all of their game in the last 3 season under Inzaghi, I saw that Inzaghi keep developing and mastering his 3-5-2 into perfection and added some combination now. At his 1st year at Inter, he relied heavily on fast transition between attack and def, and use the same style of play for any opponent they met. At 2nd season, he added another style to handle super press or attacking minded team that you already explained in this video. And at his 3rd season now, Inzaghi added another style to his 3-5-2 where his team will wait patiently to create some spaces and opportunity to score a goal by keep changing role between players to make marking ineffective and confused their enemy, then when their opponent gather all the defenders in the box, far post crossing coming and taken by CB, or long shoot from midfield. This new style very effective against defensive team especially Italian team. That's why Inter usually win big against these defensive team, because their morale already drop when inter score, then they play openly and fall to more dangerous open space tactic😂
The 1st season, we found a lot of mistakes when building up the ball (chemistry and tactic comprehension factor). Sometimes, it bear conceded a goal. The turn point was inter's bad time when some fans forced the departemen to fire the coach. Give a credit the departemen as their trust to Inzhagi Philosophy.
Sexy football. David Moyes could learn a thing or two from this.
The 5 defending line is the only shape against which modern attacking teams struggle as they usually rely on creating chances by attacking with 4 players and an overlaping midfielder or winger to create a numerical advantage against typical and common back 4 lines, that doesn't work against Inter's defence as it can't be outnumbered in a classical possession based build up, that's why Man City struggled to create against Inter last year and scored only on a chance where 3 players overlapped with the front 4 (City had 7 players in front of goal when they scored), as a consequence, teams that play against inter with an aim to win will usually be frustrated and try to push their luck by taking risks and adding 1 or 2 players to the 5 attacking positions to outnumber the back 5, this will result in huge spaces, ones that Inter look for and know how to exploit easily, and this will lead usually to big scoresheets like the ones we saw against Milan, Napoli, Roma and Lazio, where they won by 5, 4 and 3 easily, and that's why Inter typically seem to play better when they lead and are very had to catch once they score. As a matter of fact from this year's games, if you concede a goal against inter, chances that you concede a second are much higher than your chances to score, they only conceded a 1-1 twice this year, and it was against teams that refused to attack in a smart way, one of them being Gilardino's Genoa, and the other Sassuolo. I believe that their chances to win against ATM in madrid are very high, and probably with a large difference if ATM fail to score quickly, and if they advance this will lead to them being very serious contenders for the CL title this year as most teams will fall into the trap of trying to attack them.
Beautiful analysis
First video i see about inzaghi’s inter that explain PERFECTLY our game. If you watch all the matches, you can see the real strenght of this team. I hope we can make a good UCL run like last year and maybe finish even better. But what i want more is the 20th scudetto… Forza Inter
I love EVERY single style of presentation in this video. As far I know, you're the best at it.
The presentation/visual for the Di Marco segment was well done.
Been waiting to see an updated analysis video of Inzaghi’s inter. This one is very well detailed, nicely done
I think the two striker system is back, because it's very flexible. The thing is football tactics morph between order & chaos; having a focal point, may force a team to be systemic & collective, once that focal point is no longer centralized, the team becomes flexible and is at the mercy of a player's form & (Individual) performance. It now depends largely what the manager is comfortable with or if he wants a mix of the two, situationally.
Thanks for the analysises,cos of your videos i can watch matches in from a different pov and understand this beautiful game better instead of staring at the match waiting for goals ❤
Good video and great anylasis bro 😊. And 2 strikers systems are one of my favourites and surely want them to return because its flecible and allows 2 players to attack together
I was waiting for this. Always great reviewing your content
you're genius, credit for your great editing. Nice.

Amazing analysis. Proud of my team this season for playing both beautifully and effectively
Aged like milk
You are the man bro , we need this tipes of content💯💯
Another important key to this style of 3CBs formation is that they need hybrid SB/CBs like Pavard, Darmian, or CBs who are good at offense, like Bastoni. When they attack, they have these CBs act like extra sideback/wingers. It's so fun to watch them shift positions.
Great analysis, man. I'm happy Inzaghi and his Inter are getting a bit of recognition abroad ❤
The wide centerbacks attacking the space beyond the wingbacks is reminding me of Sheffield United a few seasons ago when they surprised a lot of opponents in their first matches in the Premier League.
thank you, very well-done presentation of Inzaghi's football
I have enjoyed this analysis and found the passing into the attacking space well explained from 6:15. Keep it coming, it helps understanding the complexities of different formations and helps with the clarity of football.
IMHO 3-5-2 (or 3-4-1-2) is still the most reliable tactics (if you don't have extremely skilled and fast wingers to play an effective 4-3-3) for the majority of euro clubs. I mean, if you can rely on fast dribblers like Mbappe, Leao, Vini jr, 4-3-3 it's a good choice.. But to be really effective 4-3-3 relies a lot on player's skills rather than actual tactical tweaks, if the winger cant win 1vs1 or he's not fast enough your attacking chances are heavily crippled. 3-5-2 is a bit more about tactics, positional play and teamwork and you can build a solid team even without phenomenal players.. Inter is the example of this. And the players involved are getting better and better over time, cause they grow tactical intelligence and vision by training and playing with this tactics. Pretty similar to what happened at Barca when adopting tiki taka (not comparing the effectiveness of tactics, just the player's growth) during Riijkard and Pep years.
I play football manager and just came to this same idea about wingers while building a team from Serie C. Attacking wingers are expensive and you need two plus 2 fullbacks - thats 4 decent wingers. If you play with wingbacks you need 2 total, they're usually a bit cheaper, can contribute in defense and only really need to be able to run a lot and cross. Those are much cheaper. And you get an extra center back to deal with tough teams. I'm about to be promoted to Serie B and the players I've got scouted to come in are coming to build a 3-5-2, which can play with a DM or an AM. This video made more excited to develop this formation and work on my own style to make it work.
Well, Inter players have proven to be phenomenal in this context. They played better than Man City. Now that's an achievement.
@@kylerodd2342 FM is actually a very good simulation of football when someone wants to undesrtstand tactics and how they actually impact on the play.
Good breakdown, the deep build up to create space in behind to attack with a pacey winger on the opposite side of the field reminds me of de zerbi. This seems like a more refined and defensive version of the new Italian ball. Brighton also regularly use 2 strikers but in a different manner. Just gotta play around the players you have.
This was fascinating and informative. Great video.
I think its not only two strikers but as you had mentioned before in the relationism video, its about getting good players close together so that you can have 1-2's and short passing. Most forwards have a tough time playing as a lone forward, it requires to either not be a forward at all, or be a really large athletic player who can handle 2 centerbacks by himself. having 2 central attackers means they can be less specialized and combine well, and man mark the opposition centerbacks in buildup. i think the real interesting development is the return of the 4-2-4 or a 3-3-4, 3 2 1 4 formation when in the opposition's half as that allows you to force teams into a third man combo to break out from a short goal kick.
I am the opposite of an Inter fan, in fact I support Milan, but Inzaghi is doing great things, Inter play exceptional football, they create monstrous quantities of scoring opportunities in every game and what's more they concede very little, both in Italy and in Europe. I see them behind only City and Real for the Champions League, they are really strong. Furthermore, I must say that when you have a great player like Lautaro who does your job as a first striker in an incredible way, bringing in enormous technical quality with the added intelligence and vision of the game that are rare, everything becomes easier. if you look at how many of Inter's actions develop from behind you will notice that all the players have extraordinary technical qualities (which is fundamental for starting from behind quickly and for getting out of the pressing), but look at what Lautaro does in those situations, he always manages to be perfect, he transforms himself into an offensive director who can send his teammate towards goal with a verticalisation or spread the ball wide for the wing players who are always ready to hurt the opponents, especially Di Marco who has an attacking midfielder's left foot high quality. It's really a lot of stuff.
wonderful video. thanks for this deep analysis
Your analyses are always unique; insightful
Thanks bro
Maan, the stadium concept of strategy board is so coool 1:03
Beside that, Inter have CBs with lux skillset, intellect MFs, dynamic strikers, and World class GK With financial problem, must sell key players every year, this is a amazing story

Sono tifoso dell'Inter da una trentina di anni, e posso garantire che questa di Inzaghi è l'Inter più bella e spettacolare che io abbia mai visto, qualcuno dice che è la più bella di tutti i tempi ma questo non posso dirlo con certezza perché non sono così vecchio
a me l'inter non ha mai fatto impazzire ma quest'anno son veramente forti, e soprattutto divertenti
@@FootballMeta l'Inter raramente è stata bella e vincente allo stesso tempo. Ad esempio quando vincemmo il Triplete nel 2010 non eravamo esattamente una squadra che rubava l'occhio, un amante del calcio avrebbe seguito più volentieri il Barcellona, ad esempio. Oggi invece l'Inter vince, diverte e attira l'attenzione di tanti, da tifoso devo dire che non mi stancherei mai di guardarla
This is the best analysis of Inter’s tactics I’ve seen. Good job man!
Brilliant work as always!
I want 2 striker partnership back. I love it. And finally, Inzaghi is getting his deserved recognition
amazing video as always.
9:29 Absolutely. The idea of playing with 2 strickers make teams pressure over cb be much more agressive and the actual fashion of the offensive fullbacks will make players like Thuram, who can play back to the goal, give so much options in transitions
hace mas de un año que en mis video voy diciendo esto.... muy bien hecho el video, felicitaciones !!! saludos desde Uruguay.
What Inzaghi succeeded in doing, which is making the players proficient in ball reception and passing with a very low error rate, as well as excelling in positioning and timing. I believe that Inter is introducing a new revolutionary concept in the world of football, a new school Inzaghi's playing system is truly unique, and I haven't seen anything like it in my 25 years of football watching. It stands out for the following reasons: All 22 players are intricately involved in the system in a peculiar mathematical way. I have not witnessed any coach handling his players like soldiers, but rather as a cohesive unit, despite having players who may not be the best globally in their positions. Inzaghi's style differs from both Klopp and Guardiola. There's no high pressing, no insistence on prolonged ball possession, and no emphasis on dribbling. Instead, the focus is on players excelling in mental and physical positioning, passing, and timing. The team doesn't show excessive respect to opponents and always plays to win. The decentralization among the 11 players creates complexity for any opponent, regardless of their strong analytical capabilities. It's a somewhat insane style. Inter is introducing a new school of football that doesn't resemble Guardiola, Klopp, or Sacchi. It's the era of "Inzaghi-ism" in blue and black. All that's missing is winning the league (almost certain) and clinching the Champions League to declare the birth of a new football concept. Historically, Inter has been among the first clubs to introduce new concepts in football, such as the Catenaccio in the '60s and the attacking full-back (Facchetti). Your analysis is brilliant, thank you for this video.
Brilliant analysis. I also think the field tilt compared to the likes of city is because of how teams naturally form a low block and the dominance city gets from that. When city get the space for fast breaks they use it. Same can be said of Arsenal
This is a mini Xabi Alonso tactics...build up with 4 players at the back while the RWB(Frimpong) moves high Great insight❤
I'm thinking of making an overview of this tactic soon, seems like more and more teams are looking to attack like this
So cool how you explain this..❤

Just discovered your channel! Love what ive seen so subbed :)
thanks bro
Regarding the two striker solution, I don’t know but I would love to. But for that you will have to fundamentally change the way most forwards press and recover.
i have never seen someone good in analysing football than you 🙌🙌🙌
Amazing analysis, great video all in all! Answering your question: It's possible, but I personally hope so. We've seen how the striker market has been over the last 5 or so years, more strikers seem to be tactically more involved in build up, I think two-striker systems can do an excellent job in creating separation in that final third of the pitch.
More than space, I see pass precision. At the example ending at about 3:05 you say they are opening the field, but what I see is the players awareness of their colleagues in the pitch and then great passes and great control without much space for error.
They are also very well physically prepared because this style of play requires covering a lot of distance on the pitch
There's no need to since there are 5 sostitutions and they have an excellent bench. Thanks to this they can easily compete with Premier and Bundesliga players who are phisically more prepared
I would love to see a round two with Inter vs City !
Great analysis, thank you
Fluid football at its finest, Inzaghi deserves all the credit and praise in the world for what he's doing at Inter I hope he becomes our Sir Alex Ferguson
Simeone : low block + cross spam
Their rotation is crazy - they're always set up for someone to put a dangerous ball in. Pavard, Darmian, and Barella all on the right, with DiMarco and Bastoni constantly crossing in from the left, it's beautiful to watch. I'm a Milan fan, so I don't love admitting it, but their style is beautiful. Their formation and rotation allows them swarm every area of the pitch, it looks like they've got two extra players.
The true total football.
The 352 formation is great in many way, it brings balance to the team when properly utilised. It also provides additional options in attack with the 2-man strikers. The 5-man midfield exerts control and stops the opposition attack, leaving the defence with ample opportunity to make decisions. That why it's easy for the defence to invert.
Fast-forward to today ☠️💀
Diego Sineone says hi 👋 😂

Fantastic analysis and Inter have been fantastic this season. One thing that works against their tactics is that if you have a very fast backline you can pretty much nullify them by winning all of your personal footraces. Not a perfect foil, but Inter's tactics work a lot better on back 4's that lack pace.
The most comprehensive explanation of Inzaghi's Inter ever heard so far.
Well aged like fine milk in cl
It still is true. They have a great tactical approach. You cant say aged like milk, just because of one bad game. Grow up...
@@mazlxmI do agree that 1 game doesn't define who you are but also admit Serie A is a weak league who is a retirement home for good players. Do you really believe Inter could finish in the European spots in the Premier League? I don't think they're any better than a Brighton or a Newcastle.

Great video for one of the most in form team in Europe, Inzaghi and Inter are flying and are great to watch, and tactically are a nightmare for everyone..just ask Pep......also for the question...i hope 2 striker formation do come back, mainly because there are a lot of very talented number 10 that are simply seeing their talent being wasted, and that are forced to play either wide or as a a number 9 greatly reducing their abilities with the ball.
Great vid, although you didn't really cover the "If you press us, we win" that was in the thumbnail
Need to see more highlights in these videos
I'd love to but copyright is a real thing lol
They are like unpressable in the first phase where they build up. And the rest defence is top and the ability to create transitions from counter pressing has got them so many goals this season.
very great analysis
To this day the 2014 Real Madrid tactics I liked the most. Having a 4-3-3 with Marcelo as LB, Di Maria as LM filling the spaces on the left Side and mid and CR7 in Front
FORZA INTER! 🖤💙🖤💙
Great one
This aged very well lmao 😂 All of this just for being knocked by simione 😂
Does not mean the manager is bad or the team is bad though to be fair Pep has been knocked out of ucl lots of times yet we all know his tactics are one of the best in world and his teams are too not saying the Inter manager is Pep level or anything though it was just a example.
Great video! 👍 that moving tactical board, that is not Resolve, right?
No that's a new edition, I had someone model the stadium in blender and then import the 3d model into resolve where I add everything else
I'm as fan of inter I feel proud of them this season 🖤💙
What an awesome video! Thanks man! So insightful. I remember last UCL Final, how a lot of people thought it will be “yeah city will win and dominate and add a lil bit like but you ‘never know in a final’ clichè” 🥱 and I wasn’t so sure about all that. Inter exceeded my expectations. I was like wow bro that team is a fantastically coached team. I think inzaghi should get more appreciation from the football community for what he’s doing in inter. Top tier coach and among the best of the best. Enjoyed this one and oh boy that arteta’s rotational/positional tactics was so good bro. It makes so much sense and arteta’s vision coming to fruition. I remember him saying “I have a dream” when speaking about trossard and his versatility. Makes sense now
No wonder they're doing soo goood.... Even Martinez is stunning form 🔥
Inter is so underrated this season. People outside of Italy only look at Man City, Real Madrid and possibly Bayern as potential champions league winner. but many of them snuffed at Inter. Outside of Leverkusen, Inter is the next big team in Europe that have the least defeat (only one game lost so far this season.) with the league in their bag, I am pretty sure Inter can have their full attention on the CL title once again. Almost all of the new signings are doing well and progressing, and the team morale and link up play are top class, if things continue, Inter will be dominating Europe for this season and the next.
Aged well. Just wont ever work in la liga lol
I had seen their game against athletico and i can surely tell this year there are three favourites to win the ucl competition real,city and inter
on point!
You should make a Ruben Amorim's Sporting video, it's pretty interesting to understand the way that Sporting plays
I really think that we will see 2 striker systems more often in the next years again. Normally it will be a pair of one typical central striker and a shadow striker. The advantage with a shadow striker on the one hand is that it´s easier to link the players in higher areas of the pitch more easy and on the other hand you have one more player for making runs behind the defenise line of the opponent. In result it´s a lot more difficult for the opponent to defend and the attacking team will always have a lot of options for creating creative attacks.
