Empathy with the tactics: it is increasingly Inter Leonardo

Good second, complete with trademark this time. If in the victory against Napoli events had enabled Leonardo did not have to take important decisions in the current game, the trip to Catania rewards choices of the coach of Brazil, after a lackluster first half and inconclusive, intervenes in determining their most difficult period for Inter.

Having noted the ineffectiveness of 4-3-1-2, with widely Eto'o on the left, Leonardo asks her to move the focus to the restart taking the risk to give space to counter-attack red blue. Risk that is timely realization of the goal at Gomez, the pinnacle of joy Catania, witch also the beginning of the match Inter.

In fact, affected by the disadvantage in the pride, the Inter reacts as time was not the case and finally pulls out the heavy artillery. The Brazilian coach understands that it is no longer the case to rely on luck and extracts from the cylinder Pandev, 'filled' so half Sicilian and forcing the field back to Catania.

A tactical move that ultimately proved decisive in. THE TURNING POINT TACTICS - The entrance to the Macedonian, leading Inter to side with a 4-2-3-1, opened the box Giampaolo and facilitates placement of the midfield, until then remained in his position too. It is therefore no coincidence that the decisive networks bear the signature of Cambiasso, Stankovic, the first on an assist by: removing reference points and enlarging the offensive game, the coach gives the median meters, who exploit them properly.

Cheers to Cuchu, in goal for the third time in 4 days and returned to the good old days of Mancini, which was attacking the door with ease. Plaudits but also to Leonardo, whose tactical move to change the fate of the match Mourinho. ... And the psychological - But as for the victory over Napoli, the hand of the new Inter coach can be seen in the character his players finally express.

Even in the second half of 2010, while managing Benitez, the team often found itself at a disadvantage, but rarely managed to organize a response that did not have the connotations of despair. Inevitably, then, that the result in penalizing the. The 'work' psychological Leonardo is doing since his arrival at Inter is leading the first, fundamental, results.

Now Inter are playing with the mentality of a great team and, most importantly, a will power that seemed lost. The replica of the benefit not only from Catania is glossy, but also dragged by the belief to succeed. In a moment the team is gone inconclusiveness of the first 45 minutes, to make room for a wounded beast, shaken by the network of hosts and aware of the danger that was going.

Then, evidence of empathy in which Leo has often made reference, is the celebration of the players involved in the warm embrace after the comeback. With Benitez has never happened. CONGRATULATIONS TO CASTELLAZZI - In addition to the technical and the reaction of pride of the team, this time compliments also go to Castellazzi, star of the afternoon under Mount Etna.

Criticized more than once because of performance which is not considered 'by Inter', the former Sampdoria unlined evidence from large, well on all attempts at intervening in the recovery of Maxi Lopez, a real thorn in the side. Away from San Siro, where it is often the subject of disapproval, Castellazzi has found serenity and sent also to the defensive package, not in a day of grace.

A good sign for the forthcoming commitments, because Inter need a goalkeeper who can replace Julio Cesar in the right way, certainly not aspire to match. Having a goalkeeper who knows what he is good for the other ten players, the more induced to come forward if they have the knowledge that behind them there are those who protect the result.

Congratulations to Pandev, who despite playing less than half an hour has justified the choice of Leonardo to deploy to straighten out the result. Its actions, always neat and insidious have made a large contribution to the comeback and his assists per Milito deserved a better fate for a conclusion to the baseline.
