Thiago Motta top down, the reasons for the choice of Leonardo

The admonition remedied in Turin against Juventus in the attic will momentarily the doubts on the position that Leonardo has entrusted to Thiago Motta. The midfielder, fresh debut in blue jersey, away from the Tim Cup in Naples played in front of the defense, who serves as director, specifically the top of the low rumble of midfield, for lovers of geometry.

A position held until then by Cambiasso, who in recent years had its center of gravity back to take advantage of his skills in the process of disqualification and his innate sense of position. The Cuchu with Thiago Motta back, has moved to center on Leonardo's will, except as necessary to change the area of the team.

The defeat against Juventus, which saw Inter Motta core of offensive action, it also exposed to some criticism too, of course, also reflected in the training. The ability and ease of launch dell'italobrasiliano would have a boomerang effect on the game's importance, too cumbersome and prim under construction and never be able to spread quickly on the counterattack.

Long balls and little else, this attribution to Leonardo made more deafening, and rightly returned to the sender in a press conference. Usually, when injuries have left him in peace, Thiago has acted in a more advanced, with Cambiasso front of the defense. Also a way to exploit his skills on offense, making it tremendously effective near the goal.

But when it is parked in front of the central defensive pair, the former Genoa limits his offensive projections (limited to the set piece), preferring to stay behind to wait and stop the opponent's counterattack. At the same time, when the boys department struggling to dictate the passage, Motta tends to look for tips bypassing the midfield, that tactic against Juve is wrecked, drawing criticism from the media.

Criticisms that also emphasize the difficulties of Cambiasso to restore their way of playing in a secluded location too as it is concerned. Tonight in Florence the problem does not arise, because the italobrasiliano Cuchu is disqualified and will return before the defense, with Zanetti in his left back role and Nagatomo.

But the commitment against Cagliari is likely to bring back Leonardo Motta as the top bass rumble (it also did Prandelli, who sees him as a vice Pirlo), because he was convinced of the validity of this option. The technique of the player and his vision of a weapon in the game may represent more to Inter and Leo, who has a director in pink and decided to entrust him with this delicate task.

Idea that as all has its pros and cons, but with time el'affiatamento could have beneficial effects for the Inter game. Just do not depend solely on the long ball and increase the movement of those who have the task of bringing the ball forward.
