02-03 Inter Formation

[Skualo]

i know cuper is loyal to the 4-4-2 but guys if we buy nesta we can play with 3 defenders...i mean why not? change it onto a deiferent level with a 3-4-1-2...or a more realistic thougth we could play with a 3 midfield line an one trequartista 4-3-1-2...

anyway what do you guys think?

442

----------------------------Toldo---------------------
---Zanetti------cordoba-------materazzi-----coco---
----------------zanetti------------di biaggio------------
----conceicao----------------------------------dalmat--
---------------ronaldo-------------vieri-------------------

3412 (only if we buy nesta)

----------------------------Toldo--------------------
--------Zanetti-----------Nesta---------coco-----------
-----------------zanetti-----------di biaggio------------
-----conceicao-------------------------------dalmat----
---------------------------recoba-------------------------
------------ronaldo--------------------vieri--------------

4312 (i like this one)

----------------------------Toldo---------------------
----Zanetti------cordoba------materazzi-----coco--
------------conceicao----zanetti------dalmat---------
----------------------------recoba-----------------------
---------------ronaldo-----------------vieri---------------

i realy like the last one cus with that one we could have to ways of attack..from the wings and on a vertical way without letting the defense weak:thumbsup: ...

[nismo]

to be honest skualo
i don't like the 3-4-1-2 or the 4-3-1-2
i respect your opinion and understabnd your point :thumbsup:

but to me a 442 will do
i can't see zanetti and coco fitting in a back three man defense, i mean they're more of wing backs and don't have defenseive qualities like cordoba or matrix to be in a 3 man backline. and i don't know if concericao could fit in a three man midfield in a 4312 he's more of a out-and-out winger

but i like your formation because you've included recoba, ronnie and bobo though, :D

Exactly. :thumbsup:
Just get rid of Conceicao :D
DiBiagio to play in his position, and it won't be too offensive...

Anyways, Cuper will sure stick to 4-4-2...

[Massimo]

if we complete the transfers of NESTA, KILY and PERROTTA:

4-4-2:

--------------------------------------Toldo-----------------------------


J.Zanetti---------------Materazzi--------Nesta--------------Coco


Dalmat---------------Perrotta---------C.Zanetti------------Kily


-------------------------Ronaldo------------Vieri------------------

WE ARE PERFECT WITH THIS LINE-UP........:evil:


on the BENCH: Fontana; GAMARRA, Georgatos, Gresko, Serena, Sorondo, Vivas; BINOTTO, Conceicao, Emre, MORFEO, Farinos, Guly, Okan; CORRADI, Kallon, Ventola, RECOBA*


*RECOBA is not a natural LW....he is a STRIKER....he is a very good AM.....but its not acceptable in cupers 4-4-2 system....
i'm sorry......but he'll play next season as a striker...he'll replace either ronnie or viei if necessary.....:( ....

oh as for our bench....i don't promise that gresko....geo.....ventola.....guly.......will stay there for long....:D

[FANTA]

don't forget gamara. he'll be an automatic starter.

toldo

zanetti - materazzi - gamarra - coco

dalmat/conceicao - zanetti - di biagio - recoba

ronaldo - vieri

nesta won't be coming.

i see your point...swaping dibiaggio for conceicao and putting him in the center leaving Czanetti on a rigth spot with less presion on the defense and more space for creativity along side with recoba...yeah why not i like it too :thumbsup:

i got your point but it isnt bad to have 2 ways of atack than a predictable only one:rolleyes:

[Slavenik]

You should start this thread when the calciomercato ends. We still havent completed our line-up. It looks like we will get a new LW and Nesta. When this things get officalized, then i will post my opinion.

[doz]

I agree with Slavenik.Hold back guys because there could be a few surprise transfers.....

[Skualo]

yes you guys are rite

yes i agree with you, attack is the best defence:D

[Il fenomeno]

Skulao, it does not seem u know alot about football..

Coco and Zanetti ARE NOT centre backs, we saw what happened when Javier played there,,, it simply aint his position, cause there is too little space to workd on... if we can get Joauqin, Nesta and Kily... this will be the team.

-----------------F.Toldo------------------

J.Zanetti-A.Nesta---I.Cordoba---F.Coco

Joauqin--C.Zanetti--S.Dalmat----Kily

---------Vieri/Recoba-Ronaldo---------

This will be the team... Im not sure wether Cuper will play Recoba or Vieri, Recoba is definetly more talented, but vieri scores...

Anyway, we will see. I think Ronaldo can score the most goals in the Serie A. I think he will score atleast 24 goals...!!!!

FORZA INTER

[doz]

I have a 3-4-1-2 formation in my head which i will reveal when transfers are completed.

it seems that the one that doesnt know about soccer here is you pal...:rolleyes: ...joaquin?? did you see what happen with mendieta or farinos in italy??? its simple its a rule..spanish players DONT fit in serie a....putting dalmat a long side with zanetti isnt a bad idea but i rader put emre on that position he is more a ball figther with grate passing dalmat is more fantasista and a place in the LW is enougth for him i guess anyway the one i see is going to be tryed there is domenico morfeo and meaby emre but dalmat? i dont think so...besides cuper is a defender coach he likes to defend mora than atacck so putting dalmat there probably wont happen...

putting a 3 defense with zanetti nesta and coco isnt crazy cus probably you think both zanetti and coco will be like carlos...NO theyre defenders if they play on that position is for defend not attack the 4-4-2 gives more space for zanetti to actacck yes...but with 5 players on the midfield he aint needed that much in the atacck cus we are going to have czanetti(and of course defending too) recoba and dalmat for creation conceicao for diving in the rigth spot and di biaggio zanetti nesta and coco playing more defensibly...

[Skualo]

yes i agree with you, attack is the best defence:D

yes it could be;)...i mean with a trequartista and wingners we could atacck vertivaly and for the wings with the 4-4-2 ist clear cupers intentions...only for wings and little bit verticaly cus the only player we have capacable to connect to the strikers is zanetti...so i dont know i like that formation ;)

you really think so??lol

[nismo]

hehehhe maybe in winning eleven fanta
but i don't think in real life

[Skualo]

he is for subst and coppa italia games wich is a luxery cus he is realy good..

[nismo]

gammara and nesta would be good duo
but too slow perhaps.
if nesta did join gammara would be his understudy:rolling:

[Skualo]

join nesta with cordoba and there youll have a dream duo after cannavaro-nesta ofcourse :D

[nismo]

i see your point skualo
cordoba is the south-american version of cannavaro
he's faster than canna, good at intercepting passes
but cannavaro has a better reading of the game than him

[Skualo]

exactly....IMO theyre two types of CBs make it three...one like cannavaro short & fast with goo reading of game and intercepting everything..one like nesta tall and witha good jump stoping everything that cruses the big area...and the third one the freaks than atack more than a striker and are good enougth to defend like hell too:silly: ...like lucio or bekembauher

[Elvis Pressley]

since we are keeping Materazzi and getting Nesta (if the rumors are true), I would love this to be our formation:



------------------------ Ronaldo --------- Vieri --------------------------

----------------------------------- Recoba --------------------------------


Coco -------- Di Biagio ------------------------ C.Zanetti ---- J.Zanetti

-------- Cordoba ------------ Materazzi -------- Nesta ----------------

------------------------------------ Toldo -----------------------------------





dammmmmnnnnn how strong is that?

[ilcapitano]

Not bad elvis :thumbsup: that midfield is strong in both ways, and Recoba could play his best behind the strikers...
We have great subs when we need a more attacking midfield: Dalmat, Emre (Morfeo?)

[doz]

I posted my ideal formation for next season on soccernet a couple of days ago and it matched Elvis' perfectly except that i would replace DiBi with Dalmat.If Materazzi actually stays he could be pushed by Gamarra for that 3rd CB role though.

[nismo]

very good formation elvis, even if it's a 3-4-1-2 and cuper always uses 442 (excepts when he's feeling like a mad scientist and goes experimental). with the new players maybe it would be possible to ditch the 442 and go with 3412 :D
that formation has both attacking prowess and defensive composure, and with recoba playing behind vieraldo, those three can break down the bitchiest of defences.

[R9ronaldo]

yeah i reckon to a 3-4-1-2 is better than a 4-4-2 but thats if we get nesta:D

[Skualo]

as i say on the beggingin :D...

but there is a huge difference compared to mines...i admit :D...elvis formation is realy good cus hes using same strategy than the new brazil champions of the world used...3 defense but when is time for defending it changed to 5 men with coco and zanetti..on the offensive both zanetti and coco go foward (meaby zanetti only) so we attack with 4 men and coco stays back sometimes creating a line of 4 defenders with two cbs nesta--mate and cordoba in the rigth ...pretty good if you ask me ;)

[nismo]

i see your point skualo
and like i said before as well, it can both defend and attack with equal proficiency

[Il fenomeno]

Listen, many of u guys are handicapping Dalmat's skills. For the millionth time, he will not play on the wings anymore. Is that so hard to understand. And we cannot play with two dm's, Cuper knows that. Joauqin will succeed in Italy. Trust me, maybe you have not been watching tv, but he has been raiding his right flank the whole world cup, altough there exit was his fault, he is an excellento player.

Like I said, this is what the line-up will look like next season:

--------------------------------F.Toldo------------------------------

J.Zanetti---------A.NESTA----------------I.Cordoba----F.COCO

JOAUQIN--------S.Dalmat----------------C.Zanetti---------KILY

-------------------Vieri/Recoba------------Ronaldo---------------

This it probably how the starting XI will look.

there is no gaurentee that Dalmat will be a first choice player, stop telling us what you think will happen is whats gonna happen, its just your opinion, which is as meaningless as mines, nismos, zeks etc when it all comes down to it.

umm, yes we can, and yes he does, it is Cupers plan to play with two defensive midfielders again this season ...that is the reason he signed Almeyda! as back up for his first choice cente mid pair, of Zanetti & Di Biagio!

hmm, no thanks, I'll trust Hector Cuper.

Ile Fenomeno you are in Dreamland if you believe we will get Nesta,Kily and Joaquin.:rolleyes:

This is Inter of Morattis dreams for the next season:

-----------------------Toldo------------------------

-----Cordoba------Nesta (Gamarra)----Materazzi---J.Zanetti

----Almeyda-----------C.Zanetti (Di Biagio)-------Coco

----------------------Ronaldinho----------------------

it is so hard to understant is JUAQUIN not joauqin ? and that spanish players sucks in italy and that kily is near barca than inter?....and that we cant buy 3 world class players in one year?

thats better..ofcourse using actual inter players swap nesta with mate and ronaldinho with recoba and will be even better;)

[tok87]

I dont like Conceisao in your squad, but Ronaldinho is my man, with his tehnique, ufff, what a player. :smoking:

[daman]

Hi to all the members and mods of this forum!

My line up would be:

TOLDO

J.ZANETTI - MATERAZZI - CORDOBA - COCO

COINCECAO - C.ZANETTI - DALMAT - RECOBA

VIERI - RONALDO

[Skualo]

why man?..thats the problem with italian clubs they doesnt want to wait one bad season he had to be selled :fed-up: thats why we lost roberto carlos cus we dindt WAIT :mad2:

anyway is not our desitions and if i dont remember wrong newspaper and media says that this wc was hes last test to stays or leaving at inter as we all could see he was the best player at portugal so dont be surprised if you see him there ;)

well said!

[Slavenik]

Guys, i will say that Skulao has a point. Conceicao wasnt good last season because he sufferd from injuries. This season it will be something different. He is fit and you know, he wasnt bad at Parma. He is a good player and i think that he should be given another chance:thumbsup:

[Slavenik]

But this is only if Cuper desides to place Dalmat in the CM. If he places Dalmat on the RW, like he placed him against Bormiese, then i think Conceicao should go to a club where he can play.

[Skualo]

finally the smell of victory :D....thanks sla 1 by 1 everybody will believe on sergio AGAIN ;)....

[doz]

I think Conceicao merits a chance in the first team.We've seen what he can do at Lazio and for Portugal.

[tok87]

Well he wasnt bad in Parma, but he wasnt also good!
Im still the opinion, that we dont need him. On WC he sucked, like all Portugal squad.

[BLAUGRANA]

I agree that Conceicao deserves another season to show his stuff. A player needs a bit of a run in the side to show what they've got, not a game here and a game there.

[Skualo]

wich WC did you see?...

[nismo]

conceicao was the only player showing the initative to score against korea and he nearly did so if it weren't for the post:rolleyes:

[Skualo]

yes that why i dont understant toks post..:rolleyes: portugal played realy bad but the only one that looks realy focused was conseicao..not even figo or rui costa..

[nismo]

yes it's weird
conceicao was the closest korea got to a goal, but he sort of conceded the only goal when park totally fooled him with some dribbling of his own!!!

[Il fenomeno]

I have been thinking a bit, since Chino and Dalmat won't play on the wing, Ronaldinho might be the solution. He has a good work rate.... and is just as good as Recoba or better even. Recoba then would be a third striker, because, some matches, Vieri sucks, or most matches he does, but he always scores....

We will also have the upper hand in the negotiations, since Ronaldinho is a very good friend with Ronaldo. Those two have excellent combinations.... you should have seen the final match, where Ronaldinho served Ronnie several times, but he missed...

So I was thinking this then:

------------------------------F.Toldo---------------------------------

J.Zanetti--------I.Cordoba----------A.Nesta-------------F.Coco

S.Conceicao----S.Dalmat-----------C.Zanetti------Ronaldinho

--------------Vieri/Recoba-----------Ronaldo----------------------



The thing is, there is no way Moratti will let Cristiano go anywhere. Therefore the key is that they buy kleberson and then offer him and 18 million pounds I think.

I must say, Moratti has had an excellent transfer campaign... btw,
J.Zanetti should arrive to Bormio today.

[Skualo]

1.- dalmat is going to play at the wings

2.- if NESTA cames probably Cristiano will leave

3.- if ronaldinho cames one of the three ass kicker have to leave..recoba himself said that in inter.it

so i dont think that line up will take place...without mentioned nobody have the money enougth to bring COCO,NESTA and RONALDINHO all together in the same season...some medias talk about ronaldinho but is for 2003...

This team would be murdered by anybody with a decent right hand side.Firstly while Coco is a good player he is definitely weaker defending than attacking.Ronaldinho would offer nothing at the back which would leave our left side exposed just like last season when Gresko and Recoba played there.

[tok87]

So what, he hitted the post instead of goal - big deal.

Btw: Who was guilty for Korean goal?
It was Conceisao, remember?

I say so, cause last year he sucks in Inter, he didint play well, not only one single mach, thats why im mad at him, if i just remeber what sort of crosses he puted - uffff, we dont need him guys, belive me.

WTF is this about?? Vieri sucks most matches??? I don't know which player you saw that you thought was Vieri, maybe Guly or Gresko, but to say that Vieri 'sucks most matches' is simply ludicrous!! He was probably our best player last season (certainly one of them) and he consistantly plays well every season. Also, (I have asked you this before, but you didn't respond) what makes you think that Ronaldo is our no.1 striker? He has done nothing at Inter recently to make me believe this.
Vieri---Ronaldo will be our strike force, with Recoba replacing EITHER one of them, depending on form/fitness etc. Forget this Vieri/Recoba---Ronaldo CRAP!

[Toldo No.1]

My post from last time that I found so you can reply to:

What's this CRAP about 'Vieri/Recoba'?????
Recoba is a fantastic player, but there is no decision about who to play over Vieri/Recoba. Vieri is an undoubted starter. Also, why do you assume that Ronaldo will be our number one striker? He hasn't been for the last three years. Why not put 'Vieri e Ronaldo/Recoba'? Yes he has played very well during this WC and I am as pleased as anyone is about that, but you can't just disrespect Vieri like that.
Our forward line up is:

------------------Vieri-----Ronaldo

with Recoba replacing EITHER of them depending on form/fitness/importance of game etc., or maybe playing left-wing or tre-quartista.

Until Ronaldo proves that he is completely back for Inter, and by this I mean 1 or 2 seasons of consistently banging the goals in, then Vieri is still our number one striker.

WELL SAID! :thumbsup:

[Skualo]

we wont use recoba behind ronaldo and vieri..simply...we are goin to loose like we did vs lazio...why?...the team lost the equilibrium beetween atacck and defend it have to exist some NEUTRAL point who is called MIDFIELD that is when the real game is going on..we probably beeying honest won several matches last year cus our strikers on some lonely plays like recobas one vs roma or the goals vs piacenza wich both were form free kicks...inter needs to reinforce the midfield and with the joining of morfeo and almeyda certanly we are little bit better than last year...

playing with ronaldo-vieri with recoba besides will not be healthy more if we have players like dalmat and conceicao that are pretty obvious ofensive on the wings...we will atacck like with 4 or 5 players when zannetti get over the rigth but havent you guys realized that we allways are behind in ball possetion? we never got the ball that mean we dont have a creative player on our squad to give balls to strikers and creat FOOTBALL.. when it comes to defend we have a good defense yes but is good enougth to hold a entire game deending in the case we meet teams like madrid or barcelona that likes to have the ball and what is worts they have the players to have it....i mean this Inter is pretty strong but we still having a weak point who is the Midfield and fitting a striker like recoba there will put things even worst..

[ace]

I like Skualo's 4-3-1-2 team, but I suggest Steve Finnan from Fulham as another alternative in the right back position, so my team will be :

---------------------------------------Toldo--------------------------------------

J.Zanetti/Finnan-------------Cordoba-------------Nesta-------------Coco

Joaquin----------------------------C.Zanetti--------------------------Dalmat

---------------------------------------Recoba-----------------------------------

-----------------------------Vieri-------------Ronaldo--------------------------

[ilcapitano]

Steve Finnan? from Fulham? You would play him instead of Zanetti? This is serie a, my friend...

[Skualo]

lol well said joonas:D

[doz]

Don't laugh at Steve Finnan.:mad: He may not be Javier Zanetti but it's no surprise that all the top Engliah clubs are interested in signing him.He's a very good solid defender.

[Skualo]

sorry sorry...but these is serie a as jonnas said :D

[nismo]

you never joonas, he could be the next Ince if he joined inter :D

[Slavenik]

Hwo is this ace guy:confused: He would place Finnan instead Javier:rolleyes: :dontcare: :D Man this is Seria A, not EPL, remember it. And this Finnan guy is nothing compared to Javier.

[InTeR_FaNaTiC]

i think Almeyda should be a starter

[InTeR_FaNaTiC]

and dalmat deserves to play in recoba's position in some matches ... we have to give this guy a chance ... we should hold on to him ... not blow him off like Roberto Carlos and others ..

[InTeR_FaNaTiC]

so this is the surprise Cuper was talkin about .. boy it really IS a surprise ... :D
anyway .. now that we got canna we could play 3 man defense ... BUUUT .. if we get Kily we have to play 442
which means that we will wither bench cordoba or canna ... cuz those two can't play together IMO ... what do u think ... ??

[Slavenik]

After buying Cannavaro i wounder, is the calciomercato ended for Inter:confused: Are we getting a new LW:confused: And after Cannavaro everything is possible you know, we can get the one we didint expect to get and wasnt mentioned that much in the press. Untill the calciomercato isnt officaly over i wont post the Inters starting XI.

[ronie]

dont worry about a LW that can be solved anyday. if i was moratti i would get gaucho or vieira. why get gaucho? cos if we do sell ronie then gaucho is our man and for vieira dibiagio's days are overs

which means that we will wither bench cordoba or canna ... cuz those two can't play together IMO ... what do u think ... ??
i was thinking the same thing.
i've said this before a couple of months ago, if cannavaro ever came to inter, it could be at the expense of cordoba, since the two are of similar build but cordoba is faster and canna is better technically and defensively.
cuper might just stay with the 442 IMO and maybe swith to 352 time to time, but he was 442 guy at valencia, and i think at mallorca too, cuper's an old skool kind of guy, he prolly wears retro RUN-DMC adidas to training LOL

:D :D :D
Cuper said that he would consider 3 in the back ... but i agree .. that wouldn't be the case always ... perhaps he'll make couples ... materazzi + Canna ... Cordoba + gammara .... Italian couple and latino couple :D , one for Serie A and other for CL ... sorondo + adani for coppa italia ... man we ROCK .. :D

btw ... does any of you heard about this gamarra conract bein terminated ... becuz of flamengo and stuff ???? :confused:

IMO i think Di Biagio should start alongside Almeyda ... he can connect defense with attack .... and C.Zanetti is the same style as Almeyda .. ;)

and don't worry .. conceicao and especially dalmat will have their share of games this season ... mainly in CL i think

[Skualo]

sit cristiano zanetti?..lol that never will happen pal...we didnt get nesta cus we decided to keep him...keep him to let him in the bench?...i dont think so;)

i'd rather cuper stick with a CB partnership for most of the season. IMO i'd go for Canna and Matrix. matrix is a solid player and with the exception of his horrible world cup and dip in form in the last few weeks of serieA, materazzi has been one of our reliable CB, strong in the air and a beast to opposing strikers.
If we changed pairings of CB too often, they'll be a lack of mutual understanding and communication. Matrix and cordoba did a great job BTW last season :thumbsup: too bad their dip in form happened to coincide with inter's last minute failure.

and i don't think there's a contract disupute between gamara and flamengo, i've never seen it on inter.it or anyother web site.

Not that he will, but if Cuper played a 3-5-2 lineup or say a 3-4-1-2 lineup, you could have Cordoba, Cannavaro and Matrix along the back line with Coco and J Zanetti playing as wingbacks. That's what I'd like to see.

[doz]

I think it's possible our transfer campaign has ended so i would like this team next season:

Toldo
Cannavaro,Materazzi,Cordoba
J.Zanetti,Di Biagio,C.Zanetti,Coco
Dalmat
Ronaldo(?), Vieri

That's pretty much what I'd do too. Maybe switch a player here or there, but the defense and Coco and JZanetti are what I was talking about.

yes i'd like to see cuper play with that formation especially this time the LB is solved and defence is a world apart with the inclusion of canna.
but cuper preffered formation is the classic 442, which might deprive the team of attacking flair in a 3412, but is nevertheless solid and compact.

[Musiq]

Actually the 3-4-1-2 lineup sound the best. For one thing, the Azzurri Internationals will be used to it. And also, lots of players will be able to play in their natural roles:

1. J Zanetti - You saw in the WC how well he played in this role.
2. Coco - In the WC again, he too played this role perfectly
3. Recoba - He need not play as left-winger and struggle.

How about 2 completely different lineups for the Serie A and Coppa Italia--

Serie A -

Toldo

Cannavaro--------Materazzi------------Cordoba

J Zanetti-----------Gigi Di Biagio---------C Zanetti-----------Coco

Recoba/Dalmat

Vieri--------------------Ronaldo

And for Coppa Italia:

Sorondo-----------Gamarra--------------Adani

Conceicao-----------Almeyda----------------Emre-------------Guly

Dalmat/Morfeo

i like your thinking skualo :D
that's the formation i had in mind as well
but you should put a * next to ronaldo's name since we all know he can be a two-timing backstabbing bucktooth. maybe recoba or montella there just in case.

[ronie]

looks perfect to me:thumbsup:

[Musiq]

Who said he's a RB! I put up a 3-4-1-2 formation, so Conceicao would be a RIGHT WINGER not Right Back!

why do u think capello put cafu and candela on the wing back.....so they can defend and attack:silly:

thats a hard question.........but we'll see sooner or later what he prefers.........this line-up: (3-4-1-2) and (5-3-2)

*another question is the mildfield...............if kily arrives he'll play LW...........and dalmat will move to the right side..........
in the birra moretti cup cuper tested morfeo as a RW..........
and he played ok.............so the center of the formation still remains a mystry............who know who'll play........i mean......there is other players such as almyeda........DB..........conceicao.............
cuper will deside how its gonna be...........:D :smoking:

There's one HUGE mistake in your lineup. You've left out Gigi Di Biagio!
I mean, how can you imagine Inter's lineup without Gigi? He organize the whole mid-field. He's at the center of both Inter's attack as well as defence. Without him, our midfield will be as good as Venezia!

But except for that, the lineup seems good to me :D!

[Musiq]

I wanna see this:


----------------------------- Toldo

----- Cannavaro ------ Materazzi --------- Cordoba

Javier ---------Dalmat ----------- Cristiano --------- Coco

Yet again someone's left out Di Biagio! :rolleyes: Why can't you see that he's the very heart of our game!

Jeez!

[Elvis Pressley]

Im a big fan of Gigi, but who do you propose we leave out?

C Zanetti is our warrior, he kicks everybodys ass and breaks up so many attacks!

Dalmat will give us what we sorely lacked last season, midfield creativity ...if we dont use him, then Im afraid he will be off come the end of the season, hes what 23 24?? Gigi is 33 or something, Stephane is our future, he is a future world superstar midfielder, if it werent for Zidane he would be a first choice in France's midfield IMO.

I suppose we could bench Recoba, put dalmat in the Playmaker role and use CZ and DiBi but then Recoba would be unhappy, and again, Recoba is 26 (I think) and Gigi is 33 (I think).

Amen to that ...


whether we play 442 or 4312 or whatever ... Dalmat SHOULD play .... inter have to play with an attacking rythm even if we played Recoba and dalmat together in the 3412 ........ with Dalmat playing we wouldn't even notice the absence of DB

[doz]

Di Biagio is getting old.I don't see him as being fundamental in the Inter side this season although he will certainly have a role to play.

With the CL this season, he'll still get his time on the pitch. He may not start as often, but he'll get his games. He's still an important member of the club.

[nerazzuri]

which one is better
almeyda-c. zanetti
or
di biagio-c. zanetti:D

[Massimo]

i really like your line-up elvis!

dalmat and cristiano should play together in the center of the field.......i mean.......gigi is good.........but not as good as those two........

last year when inter played against roma in the olimpico........cuper played dalmat and cristi in the middle.........and we played very well...........we controled the possition of the ball on the pitch........and we almost won the match...........


so i say:


dalmat-cristi :D :smoking:

[nismo]

gigi isn't what he used to be when came from roma, and his season are numbered. and like what Zul said, cuper will limit the number of games he plays.

[nerazzuri]

he's gettin kicked out slowly

[Musiq]

I'm telling you, if Gigi's not there in the midfield, Inter will go to pieces. Gigi is the commander of Inter's midfield , and also of the Azzurri. Saw what happened in the WC after the 1st game? When Gigi went out, Italy didn't win any more matches!

C Zanetti is a good fighter, but he needs a little more experience. Gigi may be old, but he's still a fundamental player. If he and CZ play together for at least one more season, then CZ will pick up enough experience for Inter to to play without Gigi. Besides, Zanetti has got a lot of playing days left in him, so I think Cuper should try to get the most out of Gigi as he's got very little left.

Its true that Dalmat's Inter's future and blah-blah-blah, but first and foremost, we need a stable midfield. Only then can we think about attack. I suppose Dalmat and Recoba could be rotated as the fantasista in the attack.

with Dalmat playing we wouldn't even notice the absence of DB
That's like saying that a cake will taste good if you don't put any flour in it, but put a lot of icing on top ;) !

[InTeR_FaNaTiC]

musiq ... if we're talking about commander let's talk about Almeyda .... he carried the whole argentinian defense by himself in the WC while everyone else was attacking ......
and about dalmat .... you lose buddy .... seems like cuper likes it when dalmat plays in the center .... that's according to what he said ..... so if he plays i doubt it that DB plays with him cuz his age will prevent him from fully covering the CM by himself :rolleyes: :D


this is what he said :

"A 4-4-2 is the formation I prefer," said Cuper. "With Dalmat in the middle, the module is interpreted differently but is respected nevertheless. The Frenchman is doing very well in this position."

[Musiq]

Almeyda? Did he even get a chance this WC? :rolleyes:

Yes, Dalmat's key role is CM, but I don't think he's ready for the slogging one has to do in the center. He's very creative, but he's not so good as aball-winner. That's why if Gigi is rested, Almeyda and CZ will have to take over, not Dalmat!

[nismo]

Yes he did Musiq, he got a chance, but not as long as we would've hoped for.
as for dalmat in CM, he'll do his fair share of fighting for the ball, but he'll be more focused at setting up the two strikers i reckon.
don't worry musiq, cuper did the same thing with gerard back at valencia using him in CM, and everything worked out fine until they lost to real 3-0:smoking:

[nerazzuri]

cuper always knows what he's doing:D

[Musiq]

as for dalmat in CM, he'll do his fair share of fighting for the ball, but he'll be more focused at setting up the two strikers i reckon.

That's just what I'm saying. He'll be focused on assisting the strikers and in the process, he'll neglect the actual midfield duties!

You know, I've come up with another formation to incorporate both our creative dudes - Recoba and Dalmat in the midfield.

Remember the Argentina lineup in the WC. Biesla allowed both Sorin and Veron (and Aimar when he came on as a sub) to run the midfield freely, besides having the wingers Zanetti and Lopez.

So how about a 4-2-2-2 lineup as follows:
<center>
<b>
Toldo
<p>
J Zanetti------Cannavaro------Cordoba(Materazzi)------Coco
<p>
C Zanetti------------Gigi(Almeyda)
<p>
<----------------Dalmat------------Recoba-------------->
<p>
Vieri------------Ronaldo
</b>
</center>

Now, we'd have a perfect combo of creativity as well as stablity of mid-field. The "free-wheelers" Dalmat and Recoba would set up twice as many goals and Ronie and Vieri can do their job well.

Also, sometimes Coco and Zanetti could move up as wingers. The strong mid-field would be there too.

What do you think?

your line-up is unexceptable.........this won't be our line-up this season.......i'm sure about this...............

you see.........musiq my friend..........cuper allready said that Dalmat will play center-mildfielder..........because their he is most affective.............he can defend and attack...........:D :rolleyes: ...
i'm also sure about cristiano s place in the middle alongside stephane.............:smoking: ........

My dear Massimo Moratti, EVERYONE on this thread knows that we will play with a 4-4-2 formation, because Cuper likes it too much! We are only discussing different possible lineups that Inter COULD use during the season. :rolleyes:

When you look at it with this perspective, and the facts that Inter doesn't yet have a good left-winger, I think that the lineup I presented does have a point.

its recoba on the left side (he'll have to get used to the left side)..................

Recoba cannot do well on the left side. Its no use pushing him there. Why do you think most of the people on this thread thought of 3-4-1-2??:rolleyes:

Even if my 4-2-2-2 lineup sounds ridiculous, I still think it would be a good choice for the current

Great news guys! Simply fabulous news!!

Read this:

Inter.it interviews Daniele Adani



A lot has been said about three- and four-man defences. Inter played the whole of last season with four at the back, but yesterday evening against Spezia, Cuper tried out three at the back. How do you get on with these different formations?

There aren't any problems for me. Here there are a lot of world class players that allow you to play with all possible formations in defence and consequently on the pitch.


This means that Cuper is finally trying the 3-4-1-2 formation!! OH HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN...............

Finally, what we've all been discussing our arses off in this thread has come true. Finally, we can implement our "Dream team"

[Musiq]

Because Cannavaro is like a commander in defence, so he shoul be in the middle. And Cordoba is totally left-footed, so the left is the best place to put him. Therefor, only the right was left for Matrix. But anyway, in a 3 man defence, it won't really make too much of a difference

But matrix is the slowest of the three
so it's only logical to put him in the middle of a three man, where he'd have the least running to do in defense. plus not to mention his aerial abilities which would best be utilised in the middle, not on either side.
And it's a three man ddefence, and it will make a difference. why do reckon ferguson put stam in the middle of a three man defence at ManU? same goes for matrix.

[Musiq]

What do you guys think about Cuper's flank switch - Guly on the right and Conceicao on the left?

Wacky, but it worked to a certain extent! Conceicao, well, he was <i>slightly</i> better than in Lisbon (maybe b'cos of the San Siro atmosphere;) ) while Guly was great!

So maybe Cuper will continue the same on Tuesday vs. Lisbon. But Morfeo will probably replace Conceicao on the left flank. What do you think?

on form, morfeo is the obvious choice on the flanks. and strangely, sergio is being outdone by guly on the flanks :confused:
but if form is anything to go by, morfeo on left, guly on right.

[Musiq]

Yes, that will probably be it for this Tuesday, Morfeo on the left and Guly on the right.

And maybe even in the season, Cuper might persist with the same tactics

[Musiq]

Vs. S.Lisbon, in the 2nd half, I really liked one decision of Cuper, to play Canna as RB. Zanetti was free to play as RW and the formation worked fine.

Guly was good too, but made a few mistakes. So I feel that if Cuper won't try the 3-4-1-2, definately he'll play Canna as the RB and J Zanetti as RW!

As for Gigi, what do you ppl have to say about him now, eh? I always said he was the perfect central midfielder for Inter, playing as the heart of midfield. I hope Cuper continues to try him there!

[InTeR_FaNaTiC]

well you're right on that ..... Gigi was exceptional in this match ... he was just great

Well i never said anything bad about gigi, except i rate others higher than him. he's good but not great. He's in the autumn of his career, but he has the experience and character of a veteran

BTW musiq, didn't cuper revert to a back three when he brought on canna?? and he pushed javier in a wingback position, giving him more freedom to roam up the field??

[Musiq]

No, he did not play a three man back after Canna came on. He continued with a 4-4-2, with Canna as the Right Back and JZ as the right winger. Coco still remained the left back, so it wasn't a 3 man back at all.

[Musiq]

Thanks for making this thread a sticky! I simply LOVE it.

Following Cuper's introduction of Canna as the RB yesterday, I'm beginning to think the 4-4-2 might as well stay. The players are used to it as well. So we could have something like this:

<center>
<B>
Toldo
<p>
Cannavaro~~~~~~Materazzi~~~~~~Cordoba~~~~~~Coco
<p>
J Zanetti~~~~~~C Zanetti~~~~~~Gigi~~~~~~Morfeo
<p>
Vieri~~~~~~~Ronaldo(Recoba)

oh maaaan ... big mistake ... you forgot dalmat (u intended that , didn't u ?:D) ..... we're supposed to play more offensively this season , remember ?? and Cristiano would need time in order to be in good form ..... don't worry , i forgive u :silly: j/k

i didn't watch the whole match only highlights
and match reports suggest canna introduction enabled inter to play a back three.
but it would make sense, if Canna played as RB, since he was subbed for Guly who played at RW

[Musiq]

Yeah, that's what happened. Cannavaro came on for Guly. Then Canna settled into the back role and J Zanetti came in front.

Zanetti sent in a brilliant cross to Bobo, but the defender marking him was quicker to get to the ball. Everyone could clearly see that Bobo was struggling! Hope he gets better soon!

Oh yes, I totally forgot Dalmat :o !! I'm so used to last season's lineup!

[InTeR_FaNaTiC]

i wouldn't appreciate benchin cino

:redeyes:

[Musiq]

Hey, I can't include everything! If you want Recoba too, then the best formation would be a 3-4-1-2. But then Morfeo would have to be benched.

inter would be very versatile if they could switch between 442 or 352/3412
If morfeo was injured, then revert to 3412
but if recoba injured, and morfeo is on fire, change back to 442
it all depends on availiability of players.

[nerazzuri]

but i prefer 3-4-1-2. its perfect for us;)

[Musiq]

And of course, Morfeo can occasionaly play as the fantasista too. He did that with the Viola, so why not with Inter. Anyway, he doesn't exactly "stick" to the left, does he? ;)

Now, about this strating weekend thing. On Saturday 14, Inter vs. Torino. On Tuesday, Rosenborg vs Inter.

Assuming we play both matches with a 3-4-1-2 formation, this is whhat I can make of it.

Champions League:

<center>
<b>
Toldo
<p>
Matrix------------Cannavaro------------Cordoba
<p>
J Zanetti------------------------------------------------Coco
<p>
Gigi------------------Dalmat
<p>
Recoba
<p>
Vieri--------------------Ronaldo
</b>
</center>

And for the Scudetto,
<p>
<center>
<b>
Toldo
<p>
Gamarra------------Cannavaro------------Cordoba(Adani)
<p>
J Zanetti--------------------------------Coco(Pasquale)
<p>
C Zanetti-------------Dalmat(Almeyda)
<p>
Morfeo
<p>
Corradi--------------------Kallon
</b></center>

I know some of you guys, like Doz, Massimo Moratti and Stefan9 would want to interchange the lineups, but I have Nis and Elcino to back me up (I hope!!)

[Giuseppe Meazza]

No way can you rest all 3 of Vieri, Ronaldo and Cino for the match against Torino. I would try something like this:

scudetto

------------------------------------Toldo

---------------Cannavaro----Materazzi----Cordoba

Javier Zanetti---------------------------------------------------Coco
----------------------------Di Biagio----Almeyda

-----------------------------------Recoba

--------------------Vieri (Corradi)---------Ronaldo


champions league

------------------------------------Toldo

Javier Zanetti----------Gamarra----Cordoba-----------Coco

Conceicao-------Cristiano Zanetti----Dalmat-------Morfeo

-------------------------------Vieri------Ronaldo (Kallon)

This can obviousely be mixed and changed a great deal including the formation depending on fitness and how important the game is.

My first choice team would be 3-4-1-2:

GK Toldo
RCB Cannavaro
CB Materazzi
LCB Cordoba
RWB J Zanetti
LWB Coco
RCM Di Biagio/C Zanetti
LCM Dalmat
TQ Recoba
RS Vieri
LS Ronaldo

I think this should be used for our most important matches such as against Milan, Juventus, Roma and the final of the champions league ;) .

You got my vote, and it's obvious where your preference lies;) you're SerieA team looks like it suited for the Coppa Italia:eek: no direspect, it's not weak, but it won't win us the scudetto. i'm sure you have reason anyway.
my only objection is i'd have c.zanetti or almeyda instead of gigi in your CL line-up, as i reckon at least one midfield psycho is needed, and let's face it, gigi not what he used to be nowadays, physical-wise

[Musiq]

I know it does seem weak, but think about it, I mean, Torino's not the team that "rips opponents apart and leaves them in shreds", is it? ;) :evil:

Besides, I only suggested it for this particular game. I mean, they will at least sustain us till we can put our full concentration in to Serie A. Like remember last season, when a much weaker team than this one sustained us till Bobo was back. And then we nearly won the Scudetto. So I only suggested it for this opening weekend.

But Rosenborg on the other hand are definately tougher, so we need to pit our 1st team vs. them.

[Musiq]

And even if Gigi is quite old, he's still got that tiger-spirit. And who opened our CL account this season and was voted man-of-the-match? ;) :D

FORZA GIGI!!!

Last season, a similar, in fact, weaker lineup did a great job until Bobo was ready to take over! :D
We've got a Champion's League encounter on Tuesday, and I think I've made myself clear that I'd definately prefer it!

Actually Rosenborg just as average as Torino, the reason why they make the CL prelimanires every year is the Norwegian League is Like a mickey mouse league.
But you're right, though about last season when bobo was injured, we still scraped in the results, so ronaldo's departure should mean much at all to the lineups

Don't underestimate Rosenborg. They've managed quite a few upsets 'cos teams underestimated them!

Thats fair enough.....

Di Biagio proved that he still has that Gladiator spirit in him, so i say play him in the CL. I agree with MM.

[InTeR_FaNaTiC]

442 with vieri-crespo would diffinetaly not work IMO .... they're bith strikers with same style ... heck , they almost have the same height and weight :D ............ they simply need someone to create chnces behind them .... and Dalmat would do .... but he also have defensive duties ... but with the 4312 ... recoba wouldn't have much defensive duties to deliver

He's ot exactly lacking in skills. Without his presence in mid-field, Inter would really suffer. C Zanetti's good, but not experienced enough to take over Gigi's place.

he has some skills, but not as much compared to davids or viera. he's a ballwinner and midfield tackler. i reckon c.zanetti has enough experience to take over gigi, he showed in the world cup how composed he was at the highest level. this season, he'll mature, and show he's ready to take over gigi, and send gigi into retirement, like a war veteran. gigi has done inter proud, but face the facts, gigi is a midfield ball winner, and at his age i can't see him lasting a few more years.

yeah..... this is his last season

Not a few more years. This season, he should definately play at least 75% of last season and next season maybe a few matches here and there!

And now, with Dalmat and Morfeo and probably J Zanetti on the right wing, Inter needs at least one veteran ball-winner in the middle, and no one is more suitted for that than this Roman gladiator. Really, he's the only Roman I've known who's not an arrogant fellow. Maybe Nesta too!

we have almeyda, c.zanetti, and gigi for doing the dirty work. which can all be used for CL and scudetto but Cuper favours zanetti over gigi, why else did he refuse christiano be part of the deal to bring in nesta?? gigi is a warrior, but as with all warriors come a time when they must step down. this season and next season, gigi will play some part. i hope inter can give a farewell present when he retires with a sucdetto or CL trophy

Exactly. But if I had no midfield at all and was given the choice between just them, I'd still take Pep.

[Sebastian]

....im convinced that the succes will fallow after we do some change in this SIDE.....im sick of the DAMN CONSEISAO crap.....and becouse we have too many quality defenders...it would be a damn shame if they sit on the bench....:rolleyes:....if we start with JAVIER and SERGIO on the right....MATERAZZI or CORDOBA will have to sit and wait.....which is rediculous.....
but if we play wirh CANNAVARO on the right back(which isnt something new for him) and JAVIER on the flan...there will be some serious ASS KIICKIN PARADE......:evil:....and the lockerroom ATMOSPHERE dependes on this.....no one wants to sit on the damn bench aspecially when his a briliant defender.....
this alternative gurantees that all
