Hi, I remember watching Italian football in the 00's and it was more exciting than now.
However I was young and I didn't understand what I was watching.
In the screenshot is the 2009 league match between Inter and ACM, looking back at it, it looks different from football I watch now.
They both played diamond formation so no traditional wingers. The midfield 4 of Inter feel defensive while ACM somehow playing with deep lying playmaker in Pirlo. Beckham in a mezzala role? And Ambrosini on the other side…..feels assymetric.
How was Italian football at the time?

The juxtaposition of a tottenham fan showing a lazio flair is simply exquisite
It was glorious.
Best league there was
The best footballers played in Italy and its glorious. That Italy team is one of a kind . AC milan 2005 version is one the best football teams ever.
Now 15 teams out of 20 play with 3 or 5 defenders. The death of football.
This is 2008/2009 Serie A was already in the downfall in this period since 2006/07 season after Calciopoli.
Notice that most Milan players were old at this time in that lineup.
