I expect the experiments will not end here, he might still try something in the first 2 matches, just saying.
Even our scudetto year with Conte, he was still trying nut shit tactics in the second game against Fiorentina, 1 CB 4 WB.
Plus Inzaghi is still exploring to get the best out of the team with the addition of Lukaku and no man-beating WB on the team, cause I don't think we have figured out our game plan yet.
In addition, I don't think it was that bad against Villarreal, and we tested something extra, we played Lukaku more of a poacher, and we didn't press as hard as the Lens game when he was on, so less transitional plays, but we played very directly, which is supper ineffective when you are facing a defensively disciplined team, which position themselves right and aim for clean interceptions. This whole thing reminds me of the 2000's Inter, where we have good quality players to stack up the defense, but cannot create shit, like space and opportunities, not even messing the opponent defense a bit, but heavily relying the quality of the strikers to make it happen by themselves.
The improvements we have compare to the 2000's here is we have more ability to control the match, and hold possession, so that we can pass out of pressing and surround them in the mid and final third, and hopefully with the caliber of Lukaku & Lautaro, we can score enough with brute force while lack of the link up with the rest of the team, but we definitely need a solid defense with this approach.
I can see that we can dominate most Serie a team with this approach, for CL Lukaku might need to drop back a bit more for target man duty, which Villarreal has demonstrated a competent team can easily cut off the passing to the poacher like that.
We also have a plan B with Dzeko and Correa which is a lot more fluid and will make Gosens and Dumfries shine.
Still Team Inzaghi.
