This is catenaccio - the sweeper system in full effect. The brainchild of the great Herrera, it might not have been pretty but it was effective. This defence was like a locked door. The team was not without creativity, with the spanish playmker Luis Suarez and great attacking midfielder Sandro Mazzola, but it relied on the counter-attack. Facchetti invented the role of attacking left-back in this team. The team on the left is the one that lined up for the European Cup Final in 1963. Inter were to reach two other Finals in the 1960s.
