One of the most dangerous players for Bayern Munich in the first leg was undoubtedly Michael Olise, the talented French right winger capable of troubling Inter‘s defense. To avoid unpleasant surprises in tonight’s return match, Simone Inzaghi has devised a new tactical plan to stop him.
As reported today by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter has prepared specific defensive instructions aimed at countering Olise and quickly neutralizing the main attacking threats from Bayern Munich. A total of four players will closely monitor the French winger, renowned for dribbling down the right flank.
Initially, it will be Bastoni and Dimarco‘s responsibility to mark Olise and attempt to neutralize him. Additionally, Mkhitaryan will provide support whenever Olise moves towards the central areas of the pitch, and ultimately even Acerbi will step in with defensive cover and double marking if necessary. This is the specific cage formation that Inzaghi has created to counteract Bayern Munich‘s threat.
