STRAMA AND THE 4-3-3

The style of play for Inter.  Zarate-Forlan: forward!

The coach has tried the 11 against Genoa.

Youngsters in small doses, Cambiasso back as starter, chance for Ranocchia.

Appiano Gentile - The 4-3-3 of Andrea Stramaccioni has been born.  The coach, who watched Milan-Barcelona in a restaurant together with Branca and Ausilio, has begun to give contours to his creation.  In the absence of Wesley Sneijder who is still limited to therapies and specific sessions, the team is going ahead with an attack which consists of one central forward and two wingers. 

Bets on offense The ability to expand the field is a must-have according to Strama who tried this yesterday with Zarate and Forlan.  The most fascinating challenge is the Argentinian who is on loan from Lazio.  Despite the unquestionable technical skills, Maurito often seems to lost in his own blackout during the matches.  The change of coach has revitalized Zarate (and not just him), who on Wednesday said that he will give everything in the minutes that he's going to be used.  It is also true however that the Argentinian has always been a bright spot at Pinetina during training and then lost on the field during real matches.  Sunday will be another big opportunity.  Just like for Forlan, in whom, Massimo Moratti recently showed his disappointment despite injuries.  In the center should be Milito, but as we saw with Primavera, Stramaccioni will ask his three forwards to change positions constantly in order to not give points of reference to the defense of Genoa.

Deki surely, Guarin on bench A lot of running will be needed in the midfield.  The certainty is that Inter will line up three and in front of the defense will be Stankovic.  Yesterday, the Serbian was supported by Crisetig and Cambiasso on his sides.  Against them where Poli, Guarin and Obi.  The Colombian, who was tried in Stankovic's role because Stramaccioni knows well what he could do in the midfield, is not yet ready to play from the first minute.  He is planned to play a little bit on Sunday and if there are no setbacks, chances are he could play from the first minute against Cagliari on April 7.  Difficult for Crisetig to start against Genoa as in his play, Obi and Poli will battle it out.

Alvarez back After twenty days, Ricky Alvarez has came back training with his teammates.  First, he was stopped by a knee injury and then his calf, the 23 year-old Argentinian was not spared despite yesterday despite the intensity of the training.  Stramaccioni has now found the reserves in this team with Alvarez, Pazzini and Pazzini to complete the trio.

Maicon stop? One that could rest on Sunday is Sisenando Maicon.  After training separately in recent days because of a swollen knee, yesterday the Brazilian - whose agent has dismissed rumors that he has sold his house in Milan - played a large part of the session with teammates but did not play the final training match.  If today, he continues not to participate in group fully, Stramaccioni could point to Zanetti and Nagatomo as fullbacks.  Without forgetting that Faraoni who just returned from U-21.  At the center of the defense should be Ranocchia who yesterday played extensively alongside Samuel.
