Trener - Fabio Cannavaro What’s his style of play like? well, I’ve only watched three games of his, but there was enough in there to suggest it was a common theme throughout his time given the same patterns of play emerged in the three games. Cannavaro is influenced much by Spanish football, and has even said it in an interview — “I am a coach who wants to win, I was a defender and I’m Italian, but I want my teams to play well, I have the Spanish influence in me from my three years at Real Madrid. When my players ask me, I tell them that the first thing is to attack because attacking defends. If you have the ball, you make the opponent run, that is the culture a coach must have. I’m a coach who asks the players to play, a coach who asks to give intensity with and without the ball, because football is about time and the players have to understand that.” He’s not wrong with what he described his ideologies as, given his time in China, his teams were in the top two for highest pressers, creating the highest xG, attempting the most passes and conceding the fewest goals. In terms of set up, Cannavaro mainly used a 433, but sometimes used a variation of 343 — conveniently the only accessible games I could find were the games he used 343. The best way I could describe It was a bad Manchester City impression. Not because of Cannavaro, but more because his players, bar the stars, were extremely limited in their ability.
