Verrou in French, German Riegel, cerrojo in English, door-bolt or chain in English. Call it what you want: it's Deadbolt (or better bolt, moving to the "sliding" of the central-backs), and since 30 years has revolutionized the football, the way of understanding it, play it and judge it.
Helenio Herrera made it the cornerstone of the Inter euromondiale of 60 years, helped by a super defense in front of the free spikes are composed of two markers pure (Burgnich and Guarneri) and to the left, Facchetti, fluidizing the first of our modern football. In
Verrou , from which derives the bolt, the defense is provided by two central defenders and two wing (which alternate on the opponent's center forward), and protected by at least one of the two midfielders, called to make a link in a sort of 4-2-4 before its time. One of the best performances he gave in Brazil, Switzerland, 1950.
In Italy, he preached 20 years since the Hungarian Football Josef Banas. Former Methodist centromediano Cremonese, Milan, Venice and Padua (where he had as a young student Nereo Rocco), a coach who believed the WM, imported from England and rapidly spread mainland was destined to clash with the blows of the tail of the Danube game, still too entrenched.
At the same time he realized that, especially from us, it immediately tries to attack verticalize the maneuver and then served to strengthen the rear, perhaps to the detriment of the midfield. He was among the first to groped the so-called "half system", a kind of antechamber of the bolt.
very demanding, especially with the apprentices, the Hungarian is still remembered today by those who had him as a teacher. Luigi "China" Bonizzoni, technical future, under the supervision of Gipo Viani, seventh league AC Milan (1958-59), said that one day, during a practice match (it was in the 30s), and pecked him Banas, ball and chain, in the field, turned on itself rather than just serve a mate unmarked: Banas punished him for "unnecessary ride" just send it in the locker room. Who knows what he said or did today in front of some doodles of a star like Zidane or the first Ibrahimovic. The (pre-Capello) that did not mark ever. In 1946-47
Viani Salernitana training, the technical team brought in A modest (but it will leave the following year, to a point) primarily due to Vianema. In that form a center-fake, the marker Alberto Piccinini (father of Sandro commentator and presenter Mediaset), which, from the median would then won a Scudetto with Juventus striker controlled the opponent, allowing the central defender, Ivo Buzzegoli, to become free batter.
remains a mystery whether the first free of Italian football was not Blason Buzzegoli and that Rocco uses the same in Trieste, the second in '47, and Padua, promoted to Serie A in 1954-55. An unsolvable puzzle when taking into account the "League of war" of '44. The won, against the great Torino, the team of the Fire Brigade La Spezia. The coach was the former William Garbutt seconds to Genoa in '38, Ottavio Barbieri, who lined up to "last man" Wando Persia and made a mark man Valentino Mazzola.
Trick, this, which were not met only small. The Italian champion Juventus 1949-50, coached English Jesse Carver, hijacked the median on striker James Mari opponent, transforming a fact in the stunt free centromediano Carletto Word. That reversed the cover of the Album of the Panini stickers.
But the most famous interpreter of the bolt was another Inter, Alfredo Foni that led to two consecutive championships (1953 and 1954): Blason Blacks behind the Maginot-Giovannini-Giacomazzi, to sweep their area, and the fake wing destra Armano arretrata a centrocampo. La squadra perdeva un attaccante e guadagnava un difensore, ma là davanti Skoglund-Lorenzi-Nyers bastavano e avanzavano. Come premio, Foni fu esonerato. Perché non divertiva. Già vista-letta-sentita?
