MAICON, ZANETTI AS WINGS
Leonardo to focus on controlling the action.
Movements of attack of Eto'o will be decisive.
Only one result, a victory, to complete a comeback by Inter and at the same time makes them overtake Milan in the standings. So it is up to the Brazilian coach to think about this game. Tactics, for Leonardo, are not an obsession. Inter have two options: the classic 4-3-1-2 or the most cunning 4-2-3-1. Leonardo will decide at the last minute. One certainty is that Thiago Motta will be given the task of dictating the pace of the game with Maicon and Zanetti will have to push forward like mad men in order to expand the Milan defense.
Everyone forward Practically, based on Leo's ideas, Inter should attack at full force, with at least six to seven players. Of course, it is essential for them to avoid leaving spaces because of no connection between the players which can split the team into half. The diamond in the midfield, if chosen, will be formed with Cambiasso and Stankovic supporting Thiago Motta and Sneijder who will make sure Inter have control by making fast and continuous movements. Maicon, for Inter, is the key. But he needs to be covered by a moving midfielder otherwise Inter may find themselves caught off-guard by an opponent in that area.
Triangles yes In the offensive zone, Eto'o's movement will be decisive and at the same time he will be ready to move on the left to create crisis for the defense of Milan. Another attacking option for Inter is often represented by triangles close to the edge of the area: here Sneijder can assert his technical superiority to send goal scoring chances to his teammates. A testament to the strength and power of Inter also represents in a third option: shooting from a distance.
