Tonight as anticipated, I present to you the tactical analysis of the great Inter of helenio herrera and we will create it together in #footballmanager


Helenio Herrera changed the way of conceiving football in the 60s but above all she revolutionized the conception of the football profession. As soon as he arrived in Milan in 1960, architect of the successes of what we know today as the great #Inter, he gave a new vision of football, meaning it precisely as a profession. The Magician took care of every aspect of training, athletic, technical, tactical and mental. In his early years at Inter he had motivational phrases posted in the locker room to encourage his players to always give their best and he was also one of the top exponents of the bolt together with his rival friend Nereo Rocco at the time coach of #Milan.

Now let's see how the great Inter played and how the famous Argentine bolt develops. Corso was free to range on the offensive front and acted almost as an attacking midfielder, often starting from the left, also supporting Suarez who instead acted as a midfielder with the task of setting up the action. Corso also gave support to Facchetti who acted as a real winger, having the whole wing at his disposal. The tips were #SandroMazzola and Milani, with the first called to widen to the left to dialogue with Corso or act in the space freed by his teammates. Herrera's team favored a long build with the defenders looking forward for Mazzola or Milani, who, thanks to their physique and characteristic technique, especially Mazzola's, managed to gain time and pitch for their team.

With this type of tactical approach it was therefore important to attack the second ball and in fact we see how often Mazzola was sought to try and extend the ball towards the Brazilian full-back Jair. The Brazilian's support in the defensive phase was relative, in fact Burnich played behind him who guaranteed the required coverage on the lane. Facchetti acted on the opposite flank to Jair's, a total player, capable of combining technical and tactical qualities with his imposing physique and covered the entire left wing in both offensive and defensive phases. He was able to defend at the edge of his own box and at the same time act as a winger when the team attacked. In the middle of the field #Luissuarez was the director of the team, a player with strong technical-tactical qualities, exploited for his skill in overturning the action with a few passes or attempting immediate verticalization. Mario Corso ranged over the entire offensive front from left to right. It is possible to define him as a total attacking midfielder as he often lowered himself almost in line with Suarez to give further quality to the Nerazzurri midfield. In addition to looking for the individual play thanks to his technical skills, he often tried the play with the give and go.

The counterattack was certainly a trademark of Herrera's great Inter. Even for the technical background of the players in pink, the team seemed to be built for this type of game, thanks to Mazzola's speed and technique that allowed him to play on the counterattack. Precisely in the moments in which the opposing team was unbalanced forward, Inter were aware that by adopting this type of game 2 against 2 or one against one or numerical superiority would be formed forward.
A fundamental player was Armando Picchi for the work that was required of him, that is, that of cover. The Nerazzurri captain acted behind the defense as a real free thrower and with great tactical sense he managed to defuse all those situations in which teammates were jumped by the direct opponent or when they tried the play with the long ball to override the defensive line. Inter already worked with a mixed zone, unlike most of the teams of the time who used man marking, but one player in particular was in charge of man marking especially against the fulcrum of the opponent's game i.e. Tagnin, halfback of this team who was in charge of breaking the opponent's game by literally following the opposing players who were entrusted to him everywhere.
In the NON-POSSESSION phase, the prerogative of this Inter was to have very short lines between them and to build a lot of density in the area of their own penalty area also to subsequently have the ability to restart on the counterattack. In fact, this attitude will allow the opposing team to bring many men forward, thus believing they have control of the game but in reality it was in this way that the team led by Herrera was preparing to hit the opponents with their restarts. The famous catenaccio, a term used erroneously in a derogatory way towards this style of play, has these short lines in its foundations and the defensive density highlighted in the last 20 25 meters, as well as a tactical preparation not to give space to the opponents.
