INTER, TEN MOVES (TO WIN SCUDETTO) OF MAZZARRI
Mission Scudetto. Handanovic and the 3-5-2.
Guarin as top player. Icardi like Cavani.
The field is like a laboratory that is open 24 hours a day to study movements and opponents department by department.
The week without Europe to reach the top.
Milan – Meticulous, outspoken, workaholic and with ideas. Ideas that need to stick with, especially new technical material that he will find on the transfer market. Walter Mazzarri already has in mind what he wants to do with a lot of teachings, hard working, competitive nastiness, repetitions and with a dynamic, potent and pungent style of play.
1. After 14 seasons, Inter will be without any type of European competition. A drama? No, the club just misses a bit of value. Without mid week commitments will bring Inter to play immediately for the top spot. Also, the squad size will be reduced as the coach prefers to have 15-16 men in the team. So the starters plus a few more reinforcements to define roles and hierarchies. It is no secret that Mazzarri’s teams, without Europe, can take off although last year, Napoli maintained high consistency of performance. Oh and four years with Napoli, four European qualifications.
2. “Juventus have won two Scudetti with the 3-5-2.” This is not an attack against Juve but a confirmation of the formation that he really loves. But the key factor in this formation is the fact that on the field, Mazzarri always has the numerical advantage. Let’s say if an opponent uses a trident attack, then a wing player in the 3-5-2 will track back to form a back four. Same goes in the midfield or up front. In short: 3-5-2 is a base formation but the coach pays a lot of attention to the opponent. The offensive department often starts with five men: many variations that can be developed with maxium intensity.
3. Fredy Guarin is a key element in the thought of Mazzarri. The Colombian needs space to show his strength, pace, force and explosive capability. His ideal role is mezzala (side midfielder) and he is the next important move of Walter Mazzarri. The coach has left behind Hamsik and Guarin will be just that to do the dirty work. Considering Il Guaro to be Hamsik is a good motivation for someone like him.
4. Dynamism, attention to details and using the ball in free kick and corner. His collaborators in Vigiani and Frustalupi are very sensitive in developing dead ball situations: who to be neutralized (defensively) and those who can be lethal offensively.
5. Second best defense in the league, that of Napoli last season. And now Mazzarri is coming to a team that allowed 57 goals, just like Siena. The wing players as well as midfielders are fundamental in this sense but his numbers do not lie: even in 2010-2011, his Napoli were the second best defensive team in the league and Reggina was saved because they allowed the least amount of goals in the last seven games. Reducing the number of allowed goals is probably the top priority.
6. Too many times this past season that Inter lost at the San Siro: 7. Walter Mazzarri only lost once with Napoli and in the years prior 4 and 3. The home stadium advantage must return.
7. Handanovic once believed that shots on goal against Inter would not be more than 3 or 4. He said it himself albeit in a joking manner. Walter Mazzarri considers him very important and wants to protect the Slovenian with a solid defense.
8. With a week off, Mazzarri will have even more time to instruct his players: department by department. The coach usually has separate training groups (defense, midfield and attack) to work on movements, recoveries, helping out each other etc… Details, details and details.
9. Cassano and Mazzarri. The relationship of the two at Sampdoria is very well noted. However, FantAntonio had a positive year at Inter and to Mazzarri, players of experience are important and could turn matches around. It remains to make him understand that he will not be a starter but a very important and luxurious alternative: mission possible.
10. With Mazzarri, all his strikers were all in paradise: from Lucarell at Livorno (29 goals) to Amoruso at Reggio Calabria (17), from Rolando Bianchi (18) to Pazzini (Samp, 11 goals from January to June) to Cavani, from 34 goals in three seasons in Palermo to 78 goals in three seasons in Naples. Icardi is an explosive piece of an arsenal that will be further reinforced. Collectively they all must help him and under the care of Mazzarri (and Milito), Icardi will emerge.
