Someone said there was a risk of becoming predictable as Simone Inzaghi reaches his fourth year on the bench. However, his Inter team seems to have already refuted everyone and appears to be a creature in constant evolution, as demonstrated by the sensational match that took place last Friday against Atalanta, ending in a 4-0 victory, particularly tactically against Gasperini.
Il Corriere dello Sport highlights three tactical novelties devised by the Piacenza coach and executed perfectly by his players on the field. These choices were designed “tailored” for Atalanta and their way of interpreting both phases, but they could also be proposed in future matches.
Inter was a perfect orchestra, a perpetual motion based on continuous position interchange. Specifically, Federico Dimarco played the role of left winger dynamically: often found in line with the attackers as an additional striker, at other times he moved inside as a midfielder or playmaker.
Regarding the build-up phase, on several occasions Inter built up with Sommer and the three midfielders, while Francesco Acerbi advanced by positioning himself beyond the first pressing line, disorienting Atalanta’s marking.
The third and final point is Benjamin Pavard‘s runs to disengage from the role of the right third defender: the Frenchman often positioned himself in the attacking third or even fed plays on the left. Not surprisingly, the former Bayern Munich player was involved in the first two goals.
