Gian Piero Gasperini

[_Ivan_]

Gasp will be presented on Tuesday according to SportItalia

at what time if it's known?

 

[Ronaldo]

All I want is players to be motivated and no 3 man defences. Thank you and good luck.

TBH, I don't care if he even plays 1 man defense, I just want to win.

 

[Deni_Dr]

I think wi`ll see a lot of Milito, just like a lot of Toni in Gasperini Genoa last year.

EPIC!

Gasperini, hmm. I think there could have been better alternatives (record wise). But then again maybe Gasperini can revive the hunger of this squad. Who knows. Anyway, so I am on a hiatus and Leo quits and rumors are floating that Sneijder and Eto want to leave? Man, I knew I should have posted over the summer.

Gasperini should continue Leo's project ...... there are no one as much eligible as him to do it ...... and that AVB was costing too much to pay

Usually better coaches cost more...

Welcome!!! Please make me proud!

 

[Wallace]

Welcome.

I doubt we will switch to 3 man defense although I am fan of it...but still, it looks almost perfect on paper:


............eto'o.......milito

.................sneijder.

zanetti..motta..cambiasso..maicon

........frog...samuel...lucio

chivu is ideal for 3 man defence, cordoba would do well too, and even zanetti can play it.

nevermind, Welcome Gian, make us proud!!

 

[Coasterfreek]

4 coaching changes in this year of 2011 regarding my teams..... Hue Jackson, Bob Melvin, Mike Brown and now Gasperini. Could be 5 if UCLA sucks this fall.

I'm still trying to picture us using a 3 man defense. Isn't that a problem having that few guys back?

regardless the nightmare spell of Benitez ..... injuries don't happen that much .... remember how that Samuel and Lucio have never been injured under Mourinho's charge ..... a new season is different than in winter ..... the players will be fresh and fit

Frog is the problem here Cro. Just isn't as agile/movable as Lucio is. Lucio ain't a tiny 1.70m superagile defender either, but he's great on the ball, and for his years his overall quickness is good. Frog will have problems there(no way he will be benched) as it was seen with Gasp at Genoa. He was still decent there, but definetly his best position is central one, with someone on the side next to him.

To be honest I never feared much of Genoa. Maybe the reason for it was that 5-0 result that stuck to my head. They were always very offensive team, and truth to be told Preziosi did fuck him last year when he bought a lot of guys Gasperini didn't want, that forced him to change system to 4 men defense, and then to being fired.

And obviously I fear of his stature, which might be a problem for bigger egos. Hopefully that won't be a problem.

An italian coach for a change though, which we didn't have for a while now. That will deffinetly be interesting.

He has expierience so that is good, and his work with the youth ain't bad. I expect Motta to play better(if only healthy), who played probably his best season at Genoa in Italy. For Milito I wouldn't hope for much.

What else... the 3 men defense is very exciting for me, as I became very big fan of those formations lately. Incredible formations once you have wingbacks who can run forward and back for the whole game. That is our problem though. We need at least 1 very dominant wingback, and we would have it, if only Maicon wasn't in Madrid with his head since last summer. I don't see this guy in Criscito. My dream was Isla, but with our mercato policy...

Sneijder a bit limits us to few formations. 3-4-1-2, 4-2-3-1, or 4-4-2 Diamond. 3-5-2 might work, if a wingback on his side will be focusing more on the defensive side, but still wouldn't put too much deffensive work on Wes. Deffinetly 3-4-1-2 is great formation for a trequartista... BUT, Wes ain't a typical trequartista either. So it will be interesting to see how it will work.

Personaly, despite those problems(wingback, Wes and Frog) I would try with 3-4-1-2. Maybe a bit selfish but...

Wish the board wouldn't leave him on his own like they did with Benitez. Every coach needs his reinforcments, to complete his view of the team, and I hope somehow, by some magic turn of events he will be given those. If not, I think we should focus on SerieA next season to win scudetto back from milan, and CL treat only as secondary, as it's clear we don't have squad to compete on every front anymore.

Anyways welcome again, looking forward to his first words especialy on what tactical approach he will take (hopefully some journo will ask him that)

 

[Numero Dieci]

Dissapointing coach.

YUnless we improve the squad tremedously there is no way he is succesful in the way most of us want success.

That being said good luck mr Gasperini.You're gonna need it.

 

[Omar]

if Leonardo could make what he made , then Gasperini shouldn't do any less ..... fuck with this pessimism ?! .... we'll be Scudetto contenders not any less

im holding u personally responsible!!

 

[jura]

Welcome Mister Gasperini! I don't care about the system as long as we win. Forza Nerazzurri!

 

[gesi-ny]

One thing is for sure...Gasperini is better then Leonardo regarding tactics. This is the only thing I am happy for. One the other hand, there are a lot of pieces who should come together in order to finish the puzzle (trophies). A good coach is not enough if players don't follow him. A good coach is not enough if the club does not support him. A good team is not enough if the coach can't understand tactics. A good team becomes better only if the club operates carefully in it...etc, etc. So guys before getting too excited or too pessimistic I would wait till the supercoppa and marcato are finished in order to have the minimal idea of how our season would be.

 

[kova9]

Welcome and good luck, I guess..

 

[Lionheart]

In terms of the knowledge & experience as a coach I say he definitely is an upgrade to Leonardo.

 

[v32]

ok

it will be interesting to see what kind of changes Gasp brings to the team. kind of exciting really. btw, whos this "frog" that keeps poping up in your guys' conversation, since when did inter sign such player?
