New Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu is keen to make his team less predictable after taking over from Simone Inzaghi.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 44-year-old looks to implement several tactical changes to achieve this goal.
Despite Inzaghi’s impressive results at San Siro, his tactical rigidness made Inter Milan easier to read and deal with.
Indeed, the 49-year-old never showed ambition to deviate from his hallmark 3-5-2 formation.
However, there’s a new dawn in Milan.
Starting with formation, Cristian Chivu aims to change things next season.
For context, Inter will no longer line up in Inzaghi’s preferred set-up.
Instead, Chivu will encourage a more fluid attacking system, with the Nerazzurri expected to adopt a 3-4-2-1 formation.
Therefore, the club is working around the clock to sign Ademola Lookman.
Lookman’s arrival would diversify Chivu’s attacking options and allow Inter to add pace and unpredictability in the final third.
Furthermore, Chivu wants his team to be more ‘vertical,’ meaning Inter will be more direct next term.
Finally, the Romanian is eager for his side to be more aggressive without the ball and apply high pressure.
