Van Bronckhorst points to Inter lesson: defense and pressing to study

Inter’s emphatic victory over Feyenoord also left a clear impression on the Dutch side. After the 0-3 Champions League result on November 3, Giovanni van Bronckhorst focused on the tactical elements that allowed the Nerazzurri to control the match and win without conceding.

The Feyenoord coach highlighted defensive organisation and pressing management above all. In van Bronckhorst’s view, his team can draw lessons from Inter’s defensive compactness and from their ability to choose the right moment to attack the opponent. “We can learn from Inter” was the central idea expressed by the coach, who acknowledged the Nerazzurri’s superiority in reading the different phases of the game.

For Inter, the result in Rotterdam was their third recent result: it followed the 2-0 win over Venezia on October 28 and the 3-1 defeat against Milan on October 31. Their next fixture is on Sunday, November 8, at 18:00, against Como at San Siro in Serie A.
