Simone Inzaghi's Inter Milan look to be one of the strongest sides in Europe this season. And in their current domination of Serie A, they're deploying some rather unusual tactics.
Today, I'm going over some intriguing aspects of Inzaghi's team, particularly the unorthodox use of their centre backs in possession. If you'd like me to do a full deep-dive of this team, let me know in the comments!

We NEED a full deep dive into Inzaghis Inter!!!
I second with one trillion bags of cement
Indeed it would be cool, I noticed that *some* teams are having difficulties to shoot on target... and it is odd because inter is not doing catenaccio at all
Absolutely
People love to break relationship
Yes PLEASE!
Being Italian and an Inter fan sadly I'm not surprised at all that I need to find a UA-cam Channel in English to see someone giving Inzaghi the credit he deserves for the amazing work he is doing with Inter.

Concordo.
Chissà se sui canali inglesi sanno anche la storia delle intercettazioni fatte tramite la Telecom e che le Vostre che erano a pari livello di quelle della Juve sono molto casualmente uscite 5 anni dopo appena scattata la prescrizione... magari sanno anche che fine ha fatto il vostro presidente che è scomparso da giugno...se poi vai su qualche canale americano chiedigli anche se concepiscono il fatto che una società con patrimonio netto negativo si possa iscrivere a campionati e coppe come se fosse tutto normale.. Bye
E certo i 🤡 che stanno in italia a parlare di calcio parlano solo di arbitri xche realmente di calcio non sanno nulla….
Esatto e te lo dico io che sono milanista. Al momento, per me, Inzaghi è inferiore solo a Klopp (stravedo per lui, quindi ho un bias verso Jurgen) e con il suo gioco posizionale sta dando una carriera (o una seconda carriera) a gente che prima di lui arrivava come "bollita, "scarto" o "giocatore mai esploso". Gente come Acerbi, Dimarco, Bastoni, Calhanoglu, Dumfries, Thuram e Lautaro nelle mani di Pioli farebbe molta più fatica dei nostri in quanto il Coach ha una visione del calcio perlopiù relazionale che si basa su iniziative individuali e su 11 situazioni di 1v1. A parte Pavard, i vostri difensori soffrirebbero perfino molto più dei nostri con il campo aperto, con Bastoni e Dimarco in testa. Per non parlare poi della vostra manovra offensiva che sarebbe scadente vista l'assenza di gente che salta l'uomo (solo Thuram un po' lo è, mentre il vecchio Cuadrado non lo conto). In sintesi, Inzaghi sta aumentando la consapevolezza degli individui attraverso il gioco di squadra, ed è per questo che non ha subito tanto le notevoli perdite nella rosa.
Comunque, Simone alla Lazio ha vinto dei trofei e prima del lockdown era pure in lotta per lo scudetto: qualcosa vorrà pur dire se ha ottenuto risultati con una squadra che dipendeva pesantemente da tre giocatori.
Inter and Inzaghi deserves more attention this season as they dominate Serie A
Conte gave Inter a winning mentality again, Inzaghi gave them a completely new perspective on how football Is played
@@astolfostrikesback4073 But it is not true though, Conte escaped like a coward when he couldn't have anymore an expensive market(as all the market window when he was there). The club decided to take him(Conte) to win though, but the winning mentality come from the club and the management that kept the team competitive without spending so much. From the Conte's Inter there are only four player so I think that all the merit goes to Inzaghi. This year the team has the consciousness of being strong thanks to last year Champions league's final, where Conte has nothing to do with that(if there truly was this fantomatic winning mentality, Inter should have won the scudetto against Milan two years ago)
@BIazy I mean the club has been in a financial crisis before conte. He did win finally win the league tho
@@astolfostrikesback4073conte is like juve,best in serie a but in UCL nevermind
@@jeremyespana3739this is partly true. in reality during Conte's year due to the exit in the group stage of the Champions League there was a red of 120 million , which forced the club to sell the best players (Hakimi - Lukaku)
120 million is the highest seasonal red recorded in recent years.
Finally some important recognition towards Inzaghi, I think he is among the best in the world as of now. He is unmatched in both tactic displays and getting the best of the best out of each individual player he has. He doesn't need much spending or crazy signings to do things well, he prefers a solid group that believe in itself and in his ideas: his ability to make old "aged out" players show the best version of themselves is really unmatched right now. He also revolutionized the back 3 formation and especially the 3-5-2, known as a defensive formation, to be an incredibly offensive and possession-based one. Right now he can be considered the best manager in the world, I really hope he stays at Inter for a long time and eventually become Inter's Wenger/Ferguson: especially after last year's critics, he'd really deserve that.
Absolutely agree
i beg he doesnt stay
@@madsnn4222 I beg Pioli stays 😂
@@n3kuzyai beg he stays too if it means we dont get conte tbf, would prefer motta over him though
No so strange
They just play like sheffield did when they got promoted
Overlapping CBs
Once clubs figure that out they'll lose just like sheffield did
Might I add they are the team in Europe that spent less on transfer markets in the last 2 years than any other big club.
A deep dive for inzaghi genius is a must.
Not only Inzaghi, also the CEO Marotta for doing his job… and he was best with also Juventus before!
@@colaleo9861you could mention that Marotta worked for Sampdoria before Juventus and he took them to the Champions League playoffs! That man is the MONSTER 🔥
@@guepierp Exactly😉
@@colaleo9861 Marotta is great, but most of the players are chosen by the sports director Piero Ausilio..
@@giorgiomariomartino2419 Esatto
As a milan fan, I can't deny it. It's beautiful. Really amazing, creative. I'm so f***ing jealous.
Trust me, Inter is one of the most entertaining to watch play right at this moment. Every game is like a pure show for football fan
as a juventus fan , this team is one of the most impressive teams i've seen
Inzaghi really transformed Inter what a coach.
Please do a full length 15-20 mins deep dive pn Inzaghi's inter?For me Inter is the most complete team in the europe rn.Attacking wise flexible,defensively solid👍
Agree
It always surprises me how Italian managers use little resources to create an insane team
Inter little resources?
@@ven5501 They are the team un Europe that spent less on transfer markets in the last 2 years than any other big club
@@ven5501 Inter ranked 14 in terms of revenue generated in 2022 2023. It's a big club, but it can not (sadly) compete financially with the best Premier League teams, Bayern, Real, PSG and Barca. However, they do work incredibly well with what they have.Italy kind of won the Euro 2021 the same way.
Italians can often do better with less, because they have been and still are, probably, the country which better masters all the tactical and intellectual aspects of the game. If you think better, you can still have a chance to win, even when you have less skills with the ball.
That's what makes Italian football so unique and fascinating actually
One thing we must realise about this team and is the most beautiful thing about them is that it is evident they enjoy playing with each other. The brotherhood is evident. Whoever scores the whole team embraces!
What Inzaghi is doing is like an irresistible puzzle. He presents an extremely flexible 3-5-2, and none of the coaches who applied it before with Inter got the same results. Even more strangely, the 3-5-2 formation, which seems easy to stop, has proven unstoppable under Inzaghi. I believe that if Inzaghi and Serie A witness significant development, especially if he wins the Scudetto and the Champions League, we might see the birth of a new and unique football school.
Inzaghi stands out by making Inter players, with a high level precise ball reception, excel in accurate passing. It's noteworthy that Inter is the team with the fewest individual dribbles in Serie A this season. This showcases Inzaghi's level of collective thinking, as he has turned all 22 starting players into a cohesive system, ready to adapt at any time and under any circumstances. This is something I haven't seen with any other coach.
Inzaghi's Inter is giving birth to a new school that competes with the schools of Guardiola, Klopp, and Mourinho. It's good to see an English-language video discussing Inter, as there is unfortunately significant neglect of Serie A despite it being one of the top leagues tactically and technically
Inter have been amazing this season, including their squad rotation. But very few people have done any detailed analysis on them. Please do one.
I remember thinking Inzaghi's Inter were just a continuation of Conte's, and maybe they were at the start(I won't claim to have watched them much). But they've shown an incredible transformation and now they're one of the most entertaining teams in Europe. Inzaghi's evolution is amazing, as still a relatively young coach.
yes they were, last season was exactly the same as conte style but not executed at the same level as conte, some fans hated inzaghi and wanted him out because they said he doesnt have new ideas and tries to copy conte but this season they are monsters
Inter under Conte did not play this nice, it was organized and pragmatic
Inzaghi plays a Total Foot that is very very pleasant on the eyes, as well as winning
I am an inter milan fan and yes i really love this attacking defense strategy because creating numerical advantage is the key to surpass the lined up defense of a passive team. In Serie A we always see Pavard and Darmian always changing position or Dimarco going to the other side of the pitch from left to right. You find pavard in the box while chalanoglu is top tier defender and playmaker. Mkitharian and Barella are the engines for possession and counter attack. Lautaro is a playmaker but also the finisher. Thuram plays almost in every attacking position because of his great speed. Today's football is about complete footballers who can do more complex tasks on the field
This justifies all the crazy formations i tried in football manager
If you are able to attack with 10 man and having your goalie out of the penalty box to gave sustain, and then when you are able in matter of seconds to come back to a full 11 men defence when the ball is lost, you just achieved 352 perfection
We are so proud.. thank you mister inzaghi for the opportunity to display such football.
Finally!! Inzaghi is getting his deserved recognition
I really like Inter this season. They surprised me last year and these days Inzaghi is creating good football to watch.
There were also this good last season. Yall don't pay attention to other teams
I mean inzaghi came from lazio where he did amazing things including winning 4 trophies as lazio and bringing them past CL group stage then he came to iinter after conte left after inter sold lakaka hakimi making +200 M spending 0 he lost the scudetto for 2 points by an overpeforming milan but won coppa italia and super cup last year CL final 3rd place and coppa italia + super cup again with spending 0 again thiis year we lost dzeko brozo onana etc etc but we reinvested a good amount finally gave him good players and we are seeing the real "inzaghian " inter and the team could still improve . Next year already we will sign taremi and zielinski for 0 which are 2 upgrades over klassen and arna/sanchez
I'm glad someone realizes Inter's tactics. I saw them, and I was impressed by how they play, it's very nice to see, good video
I DO want a full deep-dive into Inzaghi's Inter, pleaseeee
Would definitely watch a 20-30 minute video on inter. I really love your videos and when they’re about my team I’m definitely going to ask for more
Inzaghi's game involves the constant search for the extra man in possession. To achieve this he demands a lot of off-the-ball movement and asks each player to cover different positions. Last year it happened to see Inter build with Onana on the line of defenders. Obviously it is crucial that the team runs a lot and has the ability to stay focused to always make the preventive coverages.
This kind of play is the key to making the best of a team that is very poor at dribbling and running the ball. In Italy many people talk about Inter's great roster, however, at the level of names it is not as if there are who knows what champions. Lots of good players who make the best because they are put in the right conditions.
I close on an interesting note. In some matches (e.g., the one with Milan) the right back and center back come out to the midfield to anticipate the opposing midfielders, alternating man-to-man and zone play.
@BIazy with all respect for Brozo, Calha is the right player for Simone, his passing and vision mean a lot to their quick play. Brozo is good for slow build up
Injaghi's inter deserves more attention.Not only They have the best GD in top Leagues,but also they're playing beautiful football. Not to mention they've played UCL final last season. Injaghi is cooking something silently.
If it wasn't for Lukaku in that final I don't think inter would have lost the game
Yess... Inzaghi is the coach of the moment... This Inter play a beautiful and innovative calcio.
Basting is solid! His long passes are crazy good.
I’m glad someone made a video about Inzaghi.
Was about to suggest one on Inzaghi. You were way ahead of the curb. Inzaghi is criminally underrated though.
The impressive thing about Inter this year is, as you said, the flexibility. When in possession, Chala gets back to the defense line to take the ball, while Bastoni and Pavard push forward and Di Marco goes behind the strikers. We literally attack in 10 and defend in 10. It's something that we haven't seen many times and it's incredibly innovative.
dimarco is basically a winger when attacking, no wonder the numbers
Please do a full deep dive. They are the most exciting team right now
Great video. De Rossi is doing amazing as a manager as well, would like to know more about his tactics
The only team i would not like my team Madrid to face will be this inter milan. They are easily top 2 team in the world right now. Great manager.
This was so interesting, I remember a while back trying to replicate this on fm 23, with my wide centre backs and it worked real good
Yes please! Do a full on tactical analysis of Inzaghi!
finally someone analyzing inter, we are making an incredible seasone thanks to inzaghi's tactics, and surely a deeper analysis would be great
I feel lucky I started watching every Inter game right when Inzaghi arrived. Props to Marotta as well, such a genius. Their duo is the most interesting thing in football right now
Inzaghi and Xabi Alonso, these guys are legends in the making
Him and Xabi are the next DT of real madrid
World class content as per. Keep the manager analysis coming!
Would love to see some more on: Arteta, Postcoglou, De Zerbi, Enrique, Eddie Howe, Iraola, Ancelotti, Tuchel, Mourinho, Zidane.
Would love more of this Inter/Inzaghi analysis!!
Well done man, you got the point, in the 3 5 2 the two left and right defense (in italy we call them small arms in the sense that cover right and left central) are two players can be midfielders wings or forward in case so nobody follows them in the box, we have never seen a way o playing like this, in italy they are unplayable
Cholo has his work cut out for him but Atleti at home on a fiery European night is a tough task for any team. I wonder if Inter can remain flexible when game pace and intensity is ramped up.
I'm more worried about the injuries to Thuram, Calhanoglu, and Frattesi. If they are healthy enough to play, then Inter should come out on top. I am still fuming from Arnautovic's missed chances.
@@t-boneskillet1496Give the man a break, in that same game Lautaro missed lots of easy goals too (I think the same number too, not to shure tho). Marko is playing very well recently so the goals will come, either from him directly or assist, creating chances and spaces for his team mates
@@Pippus4 I agree, but I have same concerns as him. Thuram and Calha are vitals for Inter. Asllani could fill the passing and vision the team need and Calha has, but thuram has no rival. I don't think Marko could fill his boots and explosive Alexis couldn't play 90 mins
Athletic will have to come for us as they are behind … and if we press as we do switching positions I can see us scoring at least three… my only question( which it seems I only see it from the start of season ) is that Cahlanoglu e Mikitarian are weak in Europe for some reason
I hope they are on top of their game in Madrid
@@t-boneskillet1496Frattesi is fit they confirmed it yesterday I hope Calgary and Miki don’t play like they do in Europe against top teams…
Bastoni is no normal defender let me tell you this. He's super good both in technique and in defense. He's honestly my favourite player of the team, even more than Lautaro and Barella, but it might be because I tend to have a preference for defenders.
I want full deep dive too. Inter play catenaccio on defensive phase, and total footbal on offensive phase
Waiting for a deep dive 😮
Yes please do a deep dive for inzagi. Really interested in their tactics
Full dive please! Great content!
Yes please do a deep-dive to either class or interesting managers
Finally Inzaghi gets some recognition from youtube tactical analysts
How do Inter keep having such great looking kits, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, damn.
I remember when Inzaghi was announced at Inter, I thought "They've gone for an Allegri"... Now both Allegri and Inzaghi have exceeded all expectations
What does Allegri have to do with Inzaghi?
NEED the full deep dive!!
Deep dive on Inzaghi!!! Thanks!!!
Proud of interfans 🎉🎉🎉 beauty, tactical, flexible, efficient
Yes, please. This team needs more coverage
Thank you for this video, good work
Please do a deep dive. This was amazing
Great video ! It's something not as exciting to watch Inter play as it can be for other successfull teams in Europe, but it's true that they give the impression to be very balanced in their way of creating goal opportunities, and they are above all the best defense in Europe...
Quanto ti amo Internazionale 💙🖤💙
Wow your channel has really taken off within a year. Congratulations!
Dimarco running from side during Martinez penalty is a masterclass from inzaghi.
Inter is a team, a proper football team with a proper chemistry.
They are playing UCL final
Again
I would like a full deep dive. Thanks for paying so much attention to Inter🖤💙
That was awesome, would love to see more Inter analysis
More deep dive into Inter yes, very interesting team. Thanks!
great breakdown!
Yes. Such a video would delight me
yep, definitely would love a deep dive into Inzaghi's team
Yes its the same as teams would do in 433 and inverted wings, but when Inter does it they have 2 strikers to cross to. Thats the beauty of 352
Deep dive please. Thank you!
It’s good to see people finally recognizing Inzaghi’s tactics. Underrated coach.
Would like to see an analysis of Ruben Amorim’s philosophy and Spalletti too.
Great job! Keep on diving into it. Best team out there currently. Forza Inter
Good job 👏🏻
Inzaghi is my favorite coach he plays really well
Ive been waiting for this. This Inter is doing things I have never seen before in football, especially with attacking center backs. Also the team recently adopted a style where even the wide attacking full backs switch positions along with the center backs. The whole teams does that actually lol
yes we need a full dive
Yes more on Inzaghi please!’ 🤩
Inzaghi updates the classic 5-5-5 tactics (better known as bi-zona) designed in the mid '80 by Oronzo Canà, coach and tactician of the italian team Longobarda.
Classy
As an Inter Fan , we are FANTASTIC 💙🖤
Really want to see you do one on erik ten hag he reallly is an underrated manager.
defenetly need a deep dive mate!
Ottima deduzione complimenti!
Noi dell’Inter siamo felicissimi di averlo con noi! Questa è l’Inter migliore che io abbia mai visto. Seguo l’Inter e il calcio dal 1990
I have never really understood why Inzaghi's inter are usually overlooked when talking about potential dark horse in the champions League. They have been relatively consistent over the past three seasons he has been with them. Yet nobody really takes a cursory look at what they do. Their unconventional methods has always fascinated me because their style of play really doesn't match the ethos of their tactical setup: most times we assume because they line up with a back five they are just the archetypal Italian team that seat back to defend and catch the opposition on the break. Yes they do that but in a more subtle and different manner than we are accustomed to (for example the use of bastoni as a ball playing left center half but is also mobile enough to play as a wing back). It's this versatility in their tactics that I think that makes them really dangerous. For example in the champions league final last season there was a point they had man city scrambling. I guess Pep was a bit stunned by their tactics also before Rodri gave them the breakthrough
Yes totally, and I would dare to say that with this team at the moment , we would have won the final last year. But anyway, inter is a real joy to watch this season
Two years ago at anfield they made liverpool tremble with fear. When Inter shows its better face they also put a lot of pressure on you and don't just wait in defense. In attack they always have a man open because the opposing attackers never follow Bastoni and Pavard beyond midfield and so a favorable triangle is always created.
Against Atletico it will be a complicated match, but if they pass the round they become very dangerous for all teams. Also because with last night's victory they have closed the serie A.
@@DaniDani-nh5wn in addition they are really good at man to man marking while also when there is the need to stay compact they do that very well also. They adapt they approach to what ever situation they find themselves at the moment.
they don't line up a back five. the team plays a 3-5-2 so it is basically 5 midfielders. it is not a 5-3-2 (unless the last 15 meters in yuor area). In italy lots of teams plays with that and the 5 are considerated midfielders, so you are always one man up in the middle of the pitch (even 2 if the other team use 3 midfielders) but you lose 1 in attack (so you must have 2 central strikers) and you must have 3 central backs. But Idon't get why outside italy they see the 3-5-2 always like 5-3-2
@@franzjack on paper it's a 5 back line but the wing backs don't do much of defending. Still there still a deviation from the norm because the center backs still push forward to link up with the midfield
yes pls, do a deep dive an inzaghi with inter, i really like your videos
Do a deep dive on him also on Ruben Amorin Sporting coach and Sebestian Hoeness of Stuttgart. Thomas Tuchel too
