Barcelona, ​​fresco of absolute tactics, in 4 acts »the essential factor that led to Nerazzurri in the final

If in the tour match the two fighters offered a tactical antithesis to study, on the return, they focused on their own qualities, without changing their game according to the adverse neuralgia. Up to a point.

• “However, its tactics” is a GSP project that aims to analyze how coaches choose to tactically approach the key parties. To determine the most important data, we use the WYSCOUT platform, which provides relevant parameters and information by 250 experts from all over the world.

L. Martinez (21 '), Calhanoglu (45+1'), Acerbi (90+3 ') and Frattesi (99') registered for the hosts, while Garcia (54 '), D. Olmo (60'), respectively Raphinha (87 ') were the Catalan scorers.

Inter – Barcelona, ​​when quality has no posts

It was expected that the final whistle of the match in Catalonia, last six days, would sprout in the minds of the two coaches to repeat the performance in the second match, because, in an absurd logic, the game would have gone to extensions or the hazard would have decided to qualify.

After all, it would have been a cowardice, to the detriment of searching for solutions and perpetual improvement, “from one week to another”, as the technicians say.

When Yann Sommer rejected Lamine Yamal's exceptional shot with her fingertips, with the interior of the right foot, at the farthest corner of the gate, everyone understood: Inter-Barcelona was intended to enter the legendary matches of the Champions League.

It was also seen in the philosophies of the two coaches. Balancing San Siro, Simone Inzaghi (3-5-2) was the one who tactically overcome, by another way to advance, much more directly and advanced, being aware that the possession and intensity of the interior are clearly inferior. He needed one of the central midfielders to catch a grace day. The anticipations had Calhanoglu in the foreground, but Mkhotaryan was the master, assuming several roles.

On the other hand, Hansi Flick (4-2-3-1) did not call the first minute to Lewandowski, a move that would have changed the game totally. He exposed his defensive line to the depth attacks of the Inter and, at the same time, accepted the aggressiveness, knowing that the Italians, sooner or later, will fall into the errors' place, in all this rhythm.

After 60 minutes, he became fruit. In addition, allowing multiple counterattacks to the nerazzuri has proven to be an extremely risky choice.

Pedri has taken responsibility to make an ultra-adhesive pressing, in the context in which Ferran Torres deconstructed minute by minute.

It resulted in a duel of versatility: Dimarco-Playmaker at Lautaro's goal, Garcia's striker (2-1), the position of Inzaghi … Pippo of Acerbi to 3-3 and, above all, sleeping from other stratosphers.

The quality can be fluid, all these elements are testimonies.

Simone Inzaghi, Icar version

The errors in the second half are nothing more than the side effects of Inzaghi's attempt to oppose Barcelona football and its engine. A rhythm with which his players are not accustomed, as a style of play. In addition, the lot of the lot spoke his word.

The hosts also failed on the background of the change on the left flank, where Dimarco left Carlos Augusto, creating an inflamed area.

In other words, it was a delight, neutral, to follow the Italian coach trying to rebel against the inevitability of the football that the Catalan Junii proposed.

When Raphinha, non -existent the whole match, scored in the 87th minute, seemed to be witnessing the return of the decade.

However, it opposed Acerbi's side of the last seconds of extensions, which rebuilt those wings that seemed completely melted by the dynamics of the game.

The battle was given between the experience of the interior and the boldness of Barcelona, ​​in extensions. A fight from one square to another, as shown by that 6-6 displayed on the table, who said more than anything else about what the previous 180 minutes meant.

If the holders could not make the difference, it was the turn of the reserves to prove. This category included two of the most criticized players of the season: Taremi solved in the box, and the brother, as in Munich, found the goal that broke the balance, enjoying so much that he saw black. On their own.

It followed the offensive of Barcei while the Inter has passed in the “easy counterattack” mode. Sommer was the one who won his two-parade sanctification in front of Lewandowski and Yamal.

The speed in the reactions was the essential factor that made the finalist, in completing the non-retention knowing that Barcelona's goal will always come. Of all the teams of the world, Inter is, today, the one that is best looking for the void.

Inter – Barcelona could never end. A wasteless show, with combinations in six meters that are rarely seen, emotions and unique forces that today's football supporters have perceived, but I do not know yet, in all this context of the unique.

What did I tell them before the extensions? That the changes will help us, that we must strongly believe that we will reach the final and that we must try to limit their offensive options. There were some problems, but with my soul I went over each obstacle. There was a lot about Yamal, but I want to congratulate De Jong first, he is extraordinary and made a big match. It impressed me: it is always well positioned, it intervenes, it quickly releases the danger and it is even capable of turning the adverse actions in counter-attacks for its team.

The figures of the inter – Barcelona 4-3 match

I am disappointed, but not by the team's performance. They gave everything. We are eliminated, but next year we will try again and make the supporters happy and the whole club. And the interul plays, it's a big team. They defend themselves very well, they have good attackers. I do not want to talk too much about the referee, but every decision they made, if it was 50-50, went in their favor. We will learn from this match. It is a progress. We want to continue to learn.
