Simone Inzaghi

[IL Fenomeno]

Inzaghi can really open up a scudetti winning cycle here if he's supported well throughout. Milan, Juve, Napoli will all have new projects, maybe Allegri stays who knows. Pioli will be gone. This would be a favorable head start for Simone. Beppe will gift him a WC CB next year. Acerbi will definitely leave in 2025, but DeVrij might get a yearly contract for backup role. He's only 32 atm.

Which WC CB will Beppe gift us?

Journalist Trevisani highlighted Inzaghi’s work improving players.

“When Dimarco started playing for Inter, he had just come from Verona. Nobody wanted him.”

He continued, “No one wanted Acerbi.”

“They signed Calhanoglu from Milan on a free transfer.”
----------------------------------------

The same way I see it too..
Many players were molded accordingly.. Kudos to Inzaghi & co

De Vrij is not good for a starter in my view. I definitely can see us going after Lidenlof, when he is a free agent.
The problem is that maybe we'll need to sell one between Lautaro or Thuram.

Jonathan Tah's had a reasonably good season as a CCB with Leverkusen this season and also chipped in a few goals. If he were available on a free in 2025, that's not the worst decision I think we could make. Fits both a legitimate area of need and general familiarity with a 3CB system.

---

The thing about Inzaghi's system that I really appreciate is that, on paper, you're meant to think 3 centerbacks suggests a more defensive system compared to usual CB and FB systems where both fullbacks tend to push high and, if anything, it's often the holding mid who drops deep centrally to broadly cover the gaps. But in this system, either Pavard or Bastoni are perfectly capable of pushing up on the play from deep, and sometimes we even see both of them pushing high. Sometimes it's the weakside CB who pushes high, sometimes strongside, again sometimes both. Either Mkhi or Hakan drop deeper to complete the switch, the benefit being both guys can do it so it's less predictable.

Interchangeability and fluidity are the kinds of things that simply can't be overstated...they make a team so difficult to play against when you don't know who's going to be where on a given play. And we have a really fluid attack. Mix some of that with Bastoni and Hakan's ability to play great switches of play...literally the only thing we need to improve upon is our depth. If we were in any position to actually back up Inzaghi and let him build on his system, we're cooking for the next five years.

Too early to check on 2025 free agency. Many of those will either extend or get sold in the summer. We can go back to that list in September.

Grande Simone, pretty much in control from the beginning of the match. Job is not done, hopefully we go through!

 

[Tamirk]

Good job Mr inzaghi!

 

[Nyall]

Perfect start to 2024 in a time when we usually struggle massively.

 

[varmin]

Inzaghi managed perfectly the match. We had a cautious first half, as I expected. Then we pushed in the second, and his subs were on spot with players in/out and the timing.

 

[ath]

Dumfries and Carlos turned the table ngl, great subs.

 

[M.Adnan]

Why I am more confident in this team than Inter 2009-10?

 

[varmin]

Now, I hope that Inzaghi will manage the rotation well in our next mini cycle, starting from the Lecce game. Bisseck and Frattesi are must. Maybe it would be good to start Asllani as well, but that could be too risky considering that Arnautivic will be a starter.

 

[Strale]

Why I am more confident in this team than Inter 2009-10?

My feeling as well. I think this team creates more, and I like some current players better than a few guys from that generation.

The Treble team showed up when it was real, though, like proper champions. These guys haven't been tested yet in that way. Mixed feelings here. I see a lot of potential though. Pavard, Basto, Barella, Lautaro, all world or continental champions at some point, that's huge imo

So sad for him that we lost that cup game against Bologna after many unlucky incidents. This could’ve been a season for the ages as it seems.

Keep going!

 

[thatdude]

We have to give this guy credit. What he’s doing is special, not just for Inter but for football. He is bringing ideas and concepts to reality that on paper seem crazy. Yet we do it at such a high level that it seems natural and we don’t lose defensive stability.

Look at this picture from a moment in the match. Our 3 CBs are in the midfield during build up. At one point during today’s match De Vrij was running at Atletico’s defense and almost have a killer pass to Thuram. This really isn’t normal, we have to recognize this.

Random thought: is Bastoni - de Vrij - Pavard the most technically gifted back line ever?

 

[ath]

I'd say Cafu-Lucio-Roque Junior-Roberto Carlos have a say in this.
