Exactly 50 years ago today, on 15 September 1965, the Inter side of Angelo Moratti and Helenio Herrera wrote their names in world footballing history by winning their second Intercontinental Cup, a year on from the first.
Sarti, Burgnich, Facchetti, Bedin, Guarneri, Picchi, Jair, Mazzola, Peirò, Suarez, Corso. A line-up that all Inter fans know off by heart. A legendary team that dominated in Italy, Europe and the world.
Independiente were once again the opposition. The first leg on 8 September was no contest as the Nerazzurri brushed the Argentines aside, 3-0 at the San Siro with a goal from Peirò and a double from Mazzola. A week later, the return in Avallaneda finished 0-0. Inter were champions of the world again.

We have a new grande inter right now…FORZA..INTER..
Our history is important and we have to honor our past, but much more important is the present and the future, we have to live in the now and plan for the future and not become a club like liverpool who lives in the shade of the past.
Liverpool won UCL 2005 and reached The final of 2007 and simi final of 2008
2005 was 10 years ago. So yeah they live in the past
Nah, human tends to re-invent the wheel. See this analogy: Why is it our team isn’t as successful as our ’65 era team? What made them be so successful in the past? One should study Herrera’s team supremacy from their breakthrough tactics, their no nonsense transfer policy, their always present and supportive fans, etc.. The point being you always have to reflect from the past, learn from it, and probably do something with it.
My personal thought from 15/16 so far: We’re on the right track.
I do not agree, football evolve and players and the staff around them evovle and get better too. What was once breakthrogh tactics is now common knowledge and may not even be that effective today because of how the game have evolved. The art of war is a great example, where you can still use it today to get a understanding of war and how to use your advantages and exploit the opponents weaknesses. But you simply cannot just apply it because of how war have evolved, it’s no longer a about sticks and arrows, it have gotten a lot more complex.
Of course it’s already an obvious thing. It can’t be directly employed to the modern football because that would be amazingly stupid. What i meant is, if the current Inter could somehow create the necessary environment, the necessary right tactics, and the necessary global network of fans to support their financial cause as did our team in 65 era, we’ll have the upper hand (or at the very least a plausibility) against any adversary we might come up against.
This is why the sticks and arrows don’t matter anymore, but the whole discipline, the whole fighting as a unit, the way a more mobile army will always have the advantage, the importance of having the people to join the cause of war, etc always will.
In a way, Mancio and Inter management already did this. See why he pick 4-3-3 as our formation, or as to why Inter management employs our transfer policy to bring the edge while still conforms to FFP.
Then we are on the same page, thats exactly what i said.
Guess i just misunderstood your post then, excuse me for all the trouble.
