"Black February" is coming to an end, inter are trying to prepare for the game, hoping that the first match in early March, the Milan derby in the Coppa Italia, will be able to reverse the decline.
"Milan Sport" in recent years to predict Inter tactics, starting more accurate, and now throw out a fierce material: Inter in addition to hoping for the return of Geersons (this game may debut), Lautaro recharged (last round of league did not start), may also play a tactical change, bet on Char KhanOglu, to play 3412.
For this 3412, Inter has not looked good in recent years.
During Conte's time, he used Eriksen to play 3412, which was not effective.
In the era of Inzaghi Jr., he also tried 3412 in the early part of the season, in the course of the game, but the effect was mediocre.
Recently, because of excessive pressure, Little Inzaghi's mentality is a bit impatient, so many people have considerable worries about this possible change, and many people on Western social networking sites are worried: Is it not that Little Inzaghi has been crushed and will faint?
In fact, experts believe that if Inter change the team, the main object of change may not be Char KhanOglu, but Barrera. The aim may not be to strengthen the offense, but to secure the defense.
Inter's current formation is actually 3142 – Brozovic takes on the heaviest defensive tasks and often even withdraws to a position at level with the centre-back line to defend and organize.
Chalkhanoglu and Barrera put more energy into attacking and stood relatively higher.
Barrera has invested a lot of attacks recently, but the state is sluggish, the last 4 rounds of Inter averaged 22.5 shots on goal to score a goal, of which Barrera completed 11 shots, had a golden opportunity, but 10 deflections, extremely inefficient.
Therefore, experts pointed out that if Inter changes to 3412, it may not mean that Char khanoglu is more advanced, but that Barrera's position is more rear, more involved in more defense, and more effort.
It's already reached the semi-finals, and it's a two-legged game, and the first game is a regular decision.
This may also be a targeted strategy - in the recent Milan derby, it was AC Milan's Díaz who came off the bench and used his foot skills and dribbling ability to cause Inter a lot of trouble.
Inter's tuning a "low chassis" midfielder to focus on care is also a kind of target.
In any case, Inter's current record is sluggish, and the manager has only two options.
Or, stick to the established tactics unchanged, hoping that the players will recover their physical fitness, change their psychology, and find their state. The risk is that Inter's current routine has long been thoroughly studied by various opponents, and once targeted, it may make the situation worse.
Or, try something different, try to play something new. The risk is that winning is naturally a good one, but once you lose, then critics will denounce: active change is ineffective, which is a matter of level.
Whoever makes the move, who has to bear the responsibility, this is the rule of the game of football.
Inter's first two managers have made two different choices when faced with this problem.
During the Spalletti period, Inter "winter crashed" several times, and the world suggested that Inter change tactics, but the bald boss did not dare to change. Because if it does not change, the loss can be blamed on the boss not buying people and the players are in poor condition. If it changes, it is not won, that is, the coach's level is not good, and the coach should be responsible.
During Conte's time, when Inter's record was sluggish, the coach was brave to change and bravely put the pressure on himself. Because he knows that taking a high salary of 12 million yuan and not winning, no matter how it changes, will be controversial. It is this courage to seek change that has helped the Nerazzurri, which had a dismal record at the beginning of last season, to achieve transformation and success.
In a word: it is said that coaches should "think of change when they are poor", but there are not many coaches who dare to change.
Italian media stressed that in the era of Inzaghi Jr., Inter milan derby twice, and it was AC Milan who took the initiative to change before the game.
In the first leg of the derby, Pioli lined up the odd line, allowing Clunic to "shift" to contain Brozovic. In the second leg of the derby, Pioli asked for another change, choosing Casey to make a cameo forward.
The decision is not always correct, but the attitude is very clear: AC Milan has lowered the posture and changed the habitual kicking style to contain the opponent, which is to regard the weak side as the weaker side and pose as "weak against the strong".
In these two battles, Inter Milan are all old routines and old formations, paying attention to "me as the mainstay" and "Ren Er came a few ways, I only have one move", but the result is a draw and a loss, no victory.
Since the Serie A points ranking rule is to compare the results of the match at the end of the season if the same points are first, these two games have a big impact on Inter, and it is indeed a "blood lesson". If Little Inzaghi takes the initiative to change, he is also following Pioli's approach, lowering his posture, correcting his attitude, and putting away his arrogance.
In short, the Italian media believes that if Inter takes the initiative to change the team's formation and position, it may be for three purposes. First, strengthen the defense. Second, lower your posture to "fight" your opponent. Third, coaches are not afraid to take responsibility under heavy pressure.
Of course, whether Inter dares to change, how it will change, and whether it will be effective after the change, this has to be evaluated by the game. See.
