Catenaccio Formation • Video Explaining the Poacher Position: • Poacher Striker • Link to Defending book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product-rev... • The pronunciation is “cat a natcho,” the Catenaccio soccer term is an Italian word that means ‘door-bolt’. • That’s because the major focus of the Catenaccio Formation is tightening the defense. • Though this style of play was created by the coach Karl Rappan when he was coaching Switzerland. • However, it came into prominence when the Argentine coach Helenio Herera,used it with Inter Milan during the 1960s • His goal of each game was to win by defending very small leads. • Catennacio’s main principle is tight man marking and the use of an additional defensive player known as ‘sweeper’ or ‘libero’. • This was done by removing a midfielder and placing him behind the defense. • Franz Beckenbauer is a perfect example of a sweeper. • The sweeper will do four main things: • 1. Stop the forwards • 2. Double mark the other team’s better players • 3. Pick up loose balls in his own half to initiate the attack using long passes • 4. And to sweep throughout the center of the pitch (think of it as what wingbacks do in the wings). • When comparing Catenaccio Vs Parking The Bus, the Catenaccio Defense is different because it uses a sweeper who not only acts as defensive player • but also helps in organizing a Catenaccio Counter Attack from the defense. • This use of sweeper is missing in the parking the bus tactic. • In the ‘parking the bus’ strategy, the focus is not to concede and somehow to get a lucky goal. • Parking the bus is harder to break down specially in the final third as there is hardly any space to exploit while there can be pockets of space found in Catenaccio Tactics. • During the 70s to the 90s, Catenaccio Defending became almost synonymous with the Italian national team. • Thanks to catenaccio, Italy is still world-renowned for producing some of the greatest defenders the world has ever seen. • It has also produced the only defender to win the Balon D’Or, Fabio Cannavaro. • Commission: Though no cost to you, I receive a small commission when using the Amazon link above.
