Early tests ahead of the derby for Walter Mazzarri: As reported by Matthew Barzaghi sent to Appiano Gentile for Sky Sport 24, the Inter coach could do some rethinking: especially in the defensive department. This is the area under the magnifying glass, specifically after the four goals conceded in Naples. With the disqualification of Ricardo Alvarez, Javier Zanetti looks like the favourite to start in the role of holding midfielder on the right, with Mateo Kovacic more likely than Saphir Taider as his next-door neighbor in the centre of the pitch.

Chill out Bold dude, careful with your tongue, no need to say anything harsh to anyone except if they’re talking bad about Inter, that Calvin guy there had many points if i read his comments.
Also, posting a new comment and replying other comment is the same, when someone isn’t agree with the idea, they’ll reply your comment and that’s an idea too for me.
As for me, i think you worship Ranocchia too much Bold, he is a good player, but to be honest Rolando is the best defender we had for now, yup even better than Campagnaro.
Anyway, whatever the differences between us it should be fine as long as we stay cool, Forza!
Oh my god….calm down,guys..we’re here for inter,right? no need to offense anyone,WM’s favourite always using 3-defenders,also with his doubts to our youth players it becomes more complicated,i wont go to technical side bcause i’m not coach,i just love inter and always want the best for it,if only WM brave to change his favourite formation,not always same but depends on the opponent,then i’m sure we will have a very amazing inter,players like juan,olsen,kovacic,taider,even belfodil and they are that be loaned out,all of them can be played well if only WM merely doesnt rely on 3-5-2.
Nb: i like this site,bcause in my country,sites like this always being the place to offense & harm another fans,either in same team or not,so just relax,calm down,ok? Do we have our own forum to give our thought,opinion,etc instead of just giving comments here,guys?
I would say WM must change his formation. Why? Because (3 defenders + 2 full backs) really does not work. Indeed, WM plays 5 defenders, but both Jonathan and Nagatomo are not be able to fulfill solid defensive and attacking roles. They are not like Lichtsteiner or Asamoah or Zuniga who are both good in defense and attack. That’s why Inter’s attack has been not strong enough and also defense has been weak. That’s why a lot burden is only for Ranocchia and Campagnaro. WM should try 4-3-2-1 formation against AC Milan: GK HANDANOVIC, Right back ANDREOLLI, Center back 1 RANOCCHIA, Center back 2 CAMPAGNARO, Left back JUAN JESUS. Right MF TAIDER, Holding MF CAMBIASSO, Left MF JANETTI, Right wing PALACIO, Left wing KOVACIC, Central striker ICARDI. This fills the gap in defense and maintain solidity in midfield as well as strengthen attack. Palacio will really do if he plays in second striker position rather than single striker position. Kovacic and Palacio can playmake and read the game well together and provide a lot of good passes to Icardi or they can score themselves. It’s time now to play Kovacic in attacking role. Maybe you wonder why Andreolli in right back position? Yes, can play in that position too. What I am really sure is Andreolli-Ranocchia-Campagnaro-Juan Jesus will rock Inter’s defense if they play together in 4-defender formation! It’s time to move on now. Otherwise, WM’s 3-5-1-1 formation will continuously kill Inter!!! FORZA INTER!
Offensive side of Inter isn’t strong?
Then how come we manage to be the most scoring team yet? How much goal you need, 40, 50? Or perhaps you’re expecting an italian team to score as much as barca, madrid, or city? Lol..
Your formation don’t have Rolando. the most stable defender and you dump him? Yet you put two of the most unstable def called Juan & Ranocchia. Also, no Alvarez too? Yup he’s shabby is it? Lol..
Again, Cambiasso as holding mf not DMF? As long as i know its a different role, holding mf is what Ricky-Kovacic-Taider played in WM form. Its not the same with DM. You’re playing a team without a DMF, or what? 😀
Again, playing such a talent as Kovacic as a wing? That would be a big waste i supposed. I would like to see you as a great coach i presume. 😀
Face it man, i wanted WM to change his form but i realize that he won’t do that unless he’s having a depth within his squad and a stable yet firm team. Were stuck to 3-5-1-1..
Hey calviniste, I think you are the best coach on earth, huh? But only in PC game, okay? hahaha. Read before write, asshole. I only wrote a formation against AC Milan (upcoming match) with available squad. But since your English is so poor, you misunderstood what I wrote. I realized that what you can do is only to reply to others’ comments. Mind your thought, okay? Son of a bitch!
Haha, i can’t get enough of this clown..
You told me to read before i write (which i actually did if you can think, otherwise i won’t put a comment on your comment.. LOL) but its you yourself who didn’t read, I’m just telling you some fact about the stat and holding-MF & DM, and you mad at me? That means you’re admitting that I’m right, thanks for it ^^
You said you write the formation by the players whom available? Means Rolando isn’t available then? LOL again..
Put some respect on best defender we had for now a little would you?
Oh well, even for the Ultras, insulting your fellow Interistas with bad mouth is forbidden, you use the insult to your enemy not your fellow, a disagree about one-two things is natural, but insult and bad mouthing? Thats another thing.
Mehh, you’re a disgrace, not worthy at all..
Next time watch your mouth before you insult others!
“Mada mada da ne..” ^^
What an annoying little boy? If you reply somebody’s comments in a bad way and if you don’t respect others’ opinion again, I will find you and cut your dick, okay? Stupid asshole.
Hey Bold you’re out of topic. Also, what did i tell you about being careful with your tongue? You’re asking someone to respect you yet you didn’t respect any too. Mad is alright but use some proper words, judging from your mouth, it sounds like you’re a little kid. Grown up dude, sighh, whatever I’m tired of kids these days.
Thanks for your advice.
Wow look who’s talking here? Who said i didn’t respect other comments? LOL
Seems like its you who can’t take any critics and disagreement, plus your garbage mouth too..
Such a shame little boy.. What, you don’t have any di*k to cut for yourself, or you don’t have any brain to think at all? Oh yeah, you want to find me? Why don’t you go and ask your mother? She said she’s ashamed with you as her son, Oops I’m out of topic too, sorry.. I’m sick of this blabbering brainless pathetic lowlife human being called Bold.. Haha.. Mada mada da ne.. ^^
If I am a bad tongue, you are an ugly tongue, okay. You must be a son of a whore. Go and complain to your bitch mom, okay. I am writing these bad things because you started loser! Garbage!
Who’s the one talk all the sh*tty things with bad mouth and harsh insulting words first? Its you idi*t.. Even my dog would know that, i wonder why? Oh i get it, your mom, what kind of dog is she? You’re born from a dog are you? That’s why my dog are smarter than you. Either some dog f*ck your mom, or your dad f*ck some dog, or both of them are dogs i don’t know, what race of dog are your mom or/and dad? Stray dogs maybe? Or maybe you’re born from the sh*t of your dog mom? Hahaha.. Poor you doggie boy.. I wont reply anymore from the son of a dog, who can only bark.. Ciao ^^ (nb: if you reply me don’t use same words like i said ok? Be creative you dog sh*t)
Hahahaha, you wrote exactly about yourself. You are a fucking piggie born from whores who are constantly fucked up by dogs and animals. Hahahaha. You revealed yourself. It sound like you also like to be fucked by animals, hahaha. Loser. You Die fucking son of a bitch!
The problems still remain in the defensive side,either on midfield or defend,what happening right now is that we only have cambiasso capable as DM,i cant imagine how if he injured/unavailable some time…i hope dont…..just an opinion,guys,do you think our inter unable play well with 3-defender scheme? Remember gasperini,right? Just correct me if i’m wrong,cause our defense is really really bad!
Yup, the urgent help that may come handy on the order is like this: CB, DM, wings, offensive players (which is the last department to consider IMHO)
The problem with our defense is the lack of focus and bad attitude, also a better understanding about what is 3 backs system all about. Rolando and Camp is a better performer with this, Andreolli also get used to it in chievo even though WM didn’t use him (don’t know why.. lol) Juan & Ranocchia are two sided blade being not effective. We should buy a good CB whom can play well with WM’s 3 back system. (We’re stuck to it unless he’s fired..)
Why not move cambiasso to the back and get some stability…..it worked last year and he did a good job to….
Samuel, Cambiasso, Rolando or campangaro…..stable as a rock!
Your welcome Mazzari…..:)
Samuel is not physically fit to play an entire game, as proven on multiple occasions this season. This means that it has to be his last season playing for the club, either he retires and maybe remains in another function, or he leaves to play for another club for the remainder of his career. He is a legend, but his time is over.
As for Cambiasso, Mazzarri obviously needs him in midfield, as he has been the most used player this season. He is doing a fine job in providing some stability in the build up and in the defensive phase, while the problem remains the fact that Inter lack a supporting striker up front, which means that midfielders have to push up higher in order for goals to be scored. This leaves the defense exposed by the midfielders who need to focus more on their defensive duties, which leads to conceding goals. If Cambiasso moves to defense, imagine a midfield trio of Taider/Alvarez/Kovacic, we would concede even more than we do now. The problem of the team is the fact that they are imbalanced. For example, Ricky and Kovacic cannot play together, it leaves the team lacking physicality in midfield (this is a huge problem to start with, as both are great players). Either Mazzarri changes his formation and tries a new system in 2014, or we face the fact that Kovacic or Ricky have to be sold, since neither of them will put up with sitting on the bench all season long. Neither of them deserves that treatment.
inter lack a real striker n a defensive midfielder b’coz cambiasso is old.
I agree with u dude, we conceded almost from quick counter attack
Lavezzi please !!!
Yes its true that Ricky and Kovacic maybe good only for offense without good abilities on defense. But that’s maybe the reason why WM insist on playing both of them as holding mf in front of Cambiasso, to train their defense action. On the contrary maybe that’s the reason too why WM insist to play Guarin as an SS, because he want him to revoke his offensive side (but WM failed!) As for Taider, he’s not like Ricky and Kovacic, he’s more like Guarin, had better skill on defense, not so good on offense IMO. Holding mf is his best position atm.
And because of Ricky and Kovacic is unbalanced that’s why WM put Taider as Ricky’s partner to stabilize it a bit, too bad its a dilemma too for leaving Kovacic as a waste. Now that Guarin is gone, its more easy now, as for milan this week its still Guarin as an SS, but when he’s gone Alvarez can play his Role. Kovacic can duet with Zanetti or Taider as CM. Why should we sell Ricky or Kovacic when they both are consider better than Kaka and Pirlo? They lack only experience, just like Pogba played alongside Pirlo to learn, same thing goes to Kovacic alongside Cambiasso, in 2-3 years we’ll have new Pirlo and Kaka on our team, only Better!
As for DM, easy solution is actually Olsen, he is one of european jewels that known to play DMF so good, but again WM is not popular with youth.. We might use the money from Guarin for Nainggolan.
Only fool person says that the offensive side of Inter is the problem. Its alway been the defensive side all along this season.
i agree with you. this 3 man defence is not working for inter and those fast counter attacks kill us. I always like a 4 man defence but if WM wants to continue to play 3 then we need someone like verratti to take that cambiasso role for the future. Who would u buy this transfer season?
