how was milan when coached by cappello ?
how was madrid when coached by cappello ?
fast and creative ! i think the problem is the players andnot the coach !
people change
maybe after all those years depending on the Totti performance he came up with the conclusion,
that the super defensive flat 4-4-2 is the most constant solution,
he had the chance to create the team the other way but he didnt,
HE insisented on a second DM instead of an OM,
he made a choice and he didnt even asked for a back up young cheap player like
Mozart os smth as an alternative,
he never even tried to use Mutu/Neddy/DP in the whole even against much inferior teams after we insured the result,
it was HIS choice, he thinks
two defenders midfielders can over up each other when the one isnt in his best day, the other can hold the team and help the defenders,
the team this way is able to defend more efficienty,
OM have a tendency to injuries since their freguently get violent fouls
and when the have their down the whole team suffers,
offensively,
when the one singal DM they have his bad day too the whole team may suffer defensively,
Italians coaches prefere defending schemes as a default,
to be competitive today in the Italian he have to be the same,
the attack wins derbies and funs but the defence wins the championship,
Capello after so many years is fully convinced that a defensive team that doesnt depend on a player's performance and doesnt exaust it self with full attacking schemes and fast attacks can last longer and have better results in the long run
and he is right from this perspective we won the championship last year we will win it this year and we will probably win it next year.
The only question is why he had to lie and claim his number one target is the CL...
it isnt its pretty obvius...
maybe he was ordered to do so i dont know...
whatever he is just too stupid not to have an alternative back up plan for the important games of the season
esp against big teams who know how to defend right...
