Torino Invincibles - Tribute to the Great Bull

TRIBUTE TO THE BIG BULL!

Heroes are always immortal in the eyes of those who believe in them. And so the boys will believe that Turin is not dead: it's only away". (Indro Montanelli, from Corriere della Sera of 7 May 1949)

There's no better way to present this tactic, or rather, this tribute to the great deceased of Grande Torino.

Good evening guys, I'm Magicomonta and as I said I present to you my tactical emulation of the Big Bull.

The "system" tactic, a new game module that appeared in those years, also known as the WM.

Until then, the most popular tactic was the "method", a more defensive type of disposition, which had allowed Pozzo's Italy to win the 1934 and 1938 World Cups and whose strength was mainly given by the counter-attack. In defense there were only two full-backs and a centre-half who shuttled forward supporting the offensive maneuver and then returning; in the midfield the offensive phase was set up by the midfielders who positioned themselves outside the midfielder. Two interiors, in fact attacking midfielders and the wingers had the task of serving the balls for the center forward.

In the system invented by the English Herbert Chapman, coach of Arsenal, in practice a sort of 3-2-2-3, with three defenders, four midfielders (two midfielders and two inside players), three forwards placed at the top of a W and one M. Chapman chose to withdraw a midfielder to the line of defenders, effectively creating the "stopper" while the full-backs who in the method became central defenders, marked their respective wings. The 3-man defense was born.

Marking tasks were simpler, and being a mirror array, man marking was also born.

But the system was also more dynamic, more balanced and, if played with the right interpreters, it was a tactic that for the first time guaranteed control of the nerve center of the action: the midfield. This was set up on four players arranged in a square (since they are positioned precisely at the top of the W and M mentioned above) and envisaged the use of two midfielders and two half strikers, the first two to organize the restarts and to give protection to the defence, the other two, as in the Method, intended to support offensive action.

It was with the arrival from Venice of Loik and Mazzola that the foundation path of that great team ended, the first was one of the 2 offensive interiors.
