The tactic of taking the first three strikes actually worked in the first match between the two teams.
In that match, Turin's star striker Quagliarella, at the 8th minute, curved a beautiful world-class shot from the arc top!
Afterwards, the entire Turin team kept a staunch defense and ultimately held on for a 1:0 at the Meazza Stadium.
Turin played the match very ugly, yet left Inter Milan helpless!
After fully learning from the lesson, Inter pulled back all three lines very defensively at the start.
Tang Long retreated from the attacking midfield position to the defensive midfield, forming a three-man iron chain with Mavic and Medel, stationed in front of Ranocchia and Andreolli, fully protecting the area atop the penalty arc.
Meanwhile, Dambrosio and Nagatomo also intentionally withdrew.
Except for Bonazzoli at the front, almost all players retreated to their own half to defend.
