Topic: Helenio Herrera

	Catenaccio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was made famous by Argentinean trainer Helenio Herrera of Inter Milan in the 1960s who used it to grind out 1-0 wins over opponents in their league games.
		After the game Helenio Herrera was forced to admit: 'Celtic deserved to win and their win was a victory for the sport'.
		In Herrera's version in the 1960s, four man-marking defenders are tightly assigned to each opposing attacker while an extra sweeper would pick up any loose ball that escaped the coverage of the defenders.

		Under the direction of their coach Herrera, Inter were also the club that spawned the famous "Catenaccio" (the bolt), which gave total priority to the defensive system, as the forwards could only take up attacking positions after helping out in defence.
		Helenio Herrera is nothing short of a legend.
		Herrera, however, never accepted his nickname as the king of the system's successor, the Catenaccio, choosing instead to emphasise the fact that he had been the first to develop dedicated right wing play, thereby creating the "corridor" concept so in vogue today.

		Nobody can deny that Argentinean born Helenio Herrera (1916) is one of the most successful and influential managers of all time.
		The reason for that being the fact that Herrera is widely recognised as the inventor of the ultra-negative catenaccio-system, which favoured quick counter-attacks from a tight defence.
		Herrera was also successful with Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, and (to a lesser extent) AS Roma.

		The 'verrou' system was deployed in various styles from then on, and was to act as an inspiration to Helenio Herrera, the Argentinian coach who took over at FC Internazionale in Milan in 1960.
		The authoritarian Herrera devised a pattern of play in which at least three defenders were assigned strict man-to-man marking duties on the opposition attackers.
		Herrera's system worked to such an extent that Inter won the European Champion Clubs' Cup twice, in 1964 and 1965.

		It was under this new attacking style of play that Celtic rose to the pinnacle of European football, defeating Internazionale in the European Cup final, in what was a clash of the two new schools of football.
		Helenio Herrera, manager of Inter, employed the ultra-defensive catenaccio system after gaining an early advantage through a penalty converted by striker Sandro Mazzolla.
		Herrera later commented that the match was "a victory for sport" and paved the way for British clubs to follow suite in the coming years.

		Herrera’s record, however, was impressive enough to ensure that there was no shortage of clubs waiting to try and snap him up.
		In the end it was Internazionale of Milan who lured Herrera to their San Siro home, and they would prove to be a dominant force in Europe for years to come thanks to their 'catenaccio' system of play.
		But on the other hand, Inter’s triumph was masterminded by Helenio Herrera the man they had hounded out after a European Cup defeat, and the man of the match was their old hero Luis Suarez who had followed his coach to the San Siro.

		Unlike later sweepers like Franz Beckenbauer or the Dutchman Ronald Koeman, Rappan's verrouller was entirely defensive, and it was this added security at the back which inspired Argentinian coach Helenio Herrera to develop a similar system when he became coach at Inter in the 1960s.
		Herrera's system involved four defenders who were tight man-to-man markers.
		This meant that each defender was assigned to mark a particular attacker - and stuck to him like glue wherever he went to try and ensure he never had the space to pose a threat on goal.

		Also discussed were the defensive techniques employed by their opponents Italy, and reference was also made to Helenio Herrera, who invented the ultra-defensive style, and who in his turn was a former French Cup winner with Red Star in 1942.
		Herrera is part of the Red Star legend, and thus cannot be easily dismissed, but his style of play is opposite to the Beautiful Game.
		Other than Herreras' tactics reborn in the guise of Italy 2000, one man, Roger Lemerre started his career as coach in 1975 at the Stade de Saint-Ouen.

		Besides his famous quotations such as ten players play a better game than eleven or we'll win the match without even getting off the coach, he is remembered for the attractive one-touch game which astonished Europe in his first two seasons with the Club.
		If there is one feature that should be highlighted about this man, it is that he pioneered the psychological preparation of the players, as well as the use of a sweeper.
		Helenio Herrera always had a very good relationship with the players because they had come to terms with the fact that the coach would always be in the limelight of their success.

		Another of the key members of Helenio Herrera’s Grande Inter of the 1960s, his aggressive style fitted in perfectly with the catenaccio system that worked so effectively.
		Originally a striker, Helenio Herrera used his pace and power to great effect up and down the left flank, as he was just as capable of marking opponents as he was scoring goals.
		Joining from Boca Juniors at the age of just 20, he was a hero for the fans, but clashed with strict Coach Herrera and was sold after it was claimed his relationship with a nightclub dancer was affecting his football.

	Eamonn Fitzgerald's Rainy Day: Catenaccio, the Greek way
		Rappan's formula found a dedicated disciple in Argentinean Helenio Herrera, who perfected it with Inter Milan in the 1960s.
		This meant that each defender was assigned to mark a particular attacker — and stuck to him like glue wherever he went to ensure he never had the space to pose a threat.
		In other words, the very opposite of everything Helenio Herrera's Inter Milan stood for then, and Otto Rehhagel's Greece stands for now.

		His long legs and his tall (1,89 m) was unusual for a full back, but Herrera had a good idea : Facchetti must attack his opponent.

		Prior to Wednesday's win, Inter coach Hector Cuper was asked whether, in the wake of his side's suicidal defending in the 3-3 draw with AS Roma on Sunday, he had considered the 'catenaccio' approach.
		The 'bolted gate' defensive system was pioneered by another Argentine coach at Inter, Helenio Herrera, who won three Italian titles and two European Cups while in charge at the San Siro.
		Cuper doesn't like the term but his team's victory on Wednesday was as close to Herrera's approach as the modern game will allow.

		Herrera, known by one and all as "HH," was not shy about attributing his great success -- two Spanish titles with Barcelona and the '64 and '65 European Cups with Inter -- to his tactical and psychological acumen.
		Tactically, Herrera claimed credit for inventing catenaccio, the system that called for a sweeper to support the other man-marking defenders, but claimed that it was not designed for cautious and defensive play.
		Sure, the centerbacks have to stay home, but the fullbacks, such as Giacinto Facchetti -- who, in the words of Scottish TV commentator Archie Macpherson, "strode through the game like a Greek god assuring everyone around him that fate was on their side" -- were integral to the attack.

		One of his greatest achievements on the international stage was winning the European Championship in 1968, but he also appeared in three World Cups, including the 1970 meet in Mexico where Italy reached the final before falling at the last hurdle against Brazil.

		Barcelona were tired of living in the shadow of their bitter rivals and were determined to wrench the European title away from Madrid’s grasp.
		Before the first leg in Madrid, Barcelona’s coach Herrera caused controversy by becoming involved in a bonus-payment claim by his players that resulted in him dropping both Kubala and Czibor.
		Barcelona may well have been the Kings of Spain, but they were taught a European lesson by the undisputed rulers of the continent when Real, under the guidance of new manager Miguel Munoz, earned a 3-1 win at the Bernabeu, although Barcelona were unfortunate to have two goals disallowed.

		For the first time there were no sensational moves in the transfer market, Cuper preferring modest but well-chosen signings such as defender Marco Materazzi and goalkeeper Francesco Toldo.

		Inter Milan may be the godfathers of defensive football but Dejan Stankovic has warned the Serie A giants against trying to protect their narrow Champions League lead at Villarreal on Tuesday.
		It was under the legendary Helenio Herrera during the 1960s that Inter pioneered the 'catenaccio', or 'door-bolt' system, that added an extra defender to the four-man defensive line, making his team grindingly hard to break down.
		With Inter only taking a 2-1 lead to Spain for Tuesday night's quarter-final return against Villarreal, the Italians could be forgiven for taking a leaf out of Herrera's famous coaching manual.
