Juve-Inter, what did not work: attitude, defense and alternative

The defeat in Turin last night is burning. Not in terms of outcome, as the Bianconeri have won so far, but in terms of performance, with a whole past is locked, even on a psychological level. Losing the challenges of this kind, with a whole history behind it, and above all to be beaten by rivals, which gave the back of their dedication and their spirit of sacrifice, even more evil and points out the responsibility of the team of Leonardo.

Calendar Wednesday, however, that you want to play now in Florence and the disappointment of defeat will immediately give way to the desire to win and to recover to believe in a comeback that was interrupted last night. JUVE, SPIRIT OF PROVINCIAL. Total liabilities - the difference last night, they made the first few minutes.

It was expected that he would ask his Delneri increased pressure in the opening minutes, forcing the Inter behind the midline. The visiting team did not seem to get out of these moments of impasse: she appeared passive, slow and predictable maneuver allowed Juve to move back and promptly doubled down the flanks, especially on the left where Chiellini and Marchisio have clipped wings Maicon.

A provincial Juventus, but in the positive sense of the word. Conscious of the inferiority technique has remedied with tactical precision. The dangers for the Juventus defense, few have come with the change of Leonardo and the tactical move to 4-2-3-1, with a cross and two from the bottom, which has given two opportunities to Eto'o, who Buffon first and then they said the goal of 'no'.

LACK OF ALTERNATIVE TACTICS - Leo has always said that Inter has inherent DNA in the form on the diamond, the one who knew Benitez as a 'fish to be enjoyed at the table'. Last night was clearly evident the lack of alternative tactics. The 4-2-3-1 was organized too late. Knowing the tactics available Delneri, dogmatic advocate of 4-4-2, Juve would have closed the bands and they did.

The inclusion of a wing would create equal numbers during the attack and maximum protection on the defensive. Maybe the injuries and poor condition of Pandev has meant that the Brazilian coach opted for a midfield playmaker with three and two points. Move that, offensively speaking, has not paid until the change of direction.

WHY 'CORDOBA AND MATERAZZI? - But it is probably true in the current limit of the Inter defense. If Samuel's injury was covered with the arrival of frogs, the absence of Lucio is an injury that now is not the solution. Yesterday, the Inter rearguard, especially in the two stations, the cross and suffered terribly long balls looking for Matri Toni.

Two men in the penalty area, which does not disdain the air and are good at defending the ball, against which, perhaps, the presence of Materazzi would have made more comfortable. Certainly, talking with hindsight it is easier, but aware of the couple and their attack Juventus cm Leonardo perhaps could have left out in favor of physical Cordoba Matrix.

It is proof of the hole on the Colombian cross Sorensen who drew Matri only area at the decisive goal. Materazzi, Cordoba certainly slower, but with a better sense of the position, perhaps on that ball was coming. FLORENCE; MEDICINE important - no getting around it. The game in Florence is full of great significance, not only because it did not preclude the comeback win and could shut down any dreams of glory, but is especially important for assessing the psychological recovery of the team.

After Udine, Inter won the qualification to the semifinals of Tim Cup in Naples, after a battle of 120 minutes, in which the Nerazzurri gave evidence of nerves in front of a beautiful Naples, who had good chances to take the lead. Obviously, the spirit must be different. Inter must put in place the eyes of the tiger, who last night I unfortunately missed the Nerazzurri, who had Juventus, good success with humility to grasp.

CALENDAR SLIGHTLY MORE 'EASY - If you still think the prospect of recovery, not to look no denying schedule and standings. Until the derby, a race that now is a final, Inter will have big games against Cagliari, and the two of Genoa, Genoa and Sampdoria at Marassi and Meazza, before a little respite, with commitments on paper easier with Lecce and Brescia.

AC Milan instead begins its cycle of fire: Chievo, Napoli and Juventus, Bari and Palermo with little respite in Sicily before the match against the Nerazzurri. We are not used to the tables, but if you want to think about the comeback, at this point, the latter also have their importance.
