This is the key over here.
We played that formation versus the teams who play offensive football, ball possesion football. We also got 4-0 away win against Roma last year, playing that formation.
This is not a formation to break a deffense, unless we're Milan '05 like a person you responded to said. This is a good formation if we want to deffend, and exploit the other team on counter.
But is Chelsea a team that plays possesion typ of football ? Is it a team who will impose themselves at the Meazza ?
I don't think so. This is deffinetly not a formation for us to break the deffense.
No surely Chelsea are not a team like Barça or Arsenal who play possession football but I see them as a side who can impose themselves and dominate the game. I don't think they will come to the San Siro and just defend like they did last year in the first semifinal vs Barça for example and at the same time I don't see us being able to impose ourselves, also remembering our previous showings against big teams in Europe. Anything can happen of course, maybe we'll see Inter playing with the right mentality from the beginning but I think a quite defensive formation is ideal in this game, also 'cause counterattacking is one of the things we do better and we have enough technically gifted players (especially Milito, Pandev and Sneijder) who can pull out a moment of magic out of nothing. Since we're playing the first game at home, the most important thing will be not to concede goals. Should this unfortunately happen, we can change our formation.
