On the 9th of November, now will be twelve years to the death of a parent of all the coaches of the modern generation, that day in 1997 In fact, he died in hospital intensive care department of Venice Helenio Herrera, who, by his manner so magnetic as histrionic and his theories certainly avant-garde, but often discussed, the first would give importance to the glittering figure of the coach. Figure that in Italy, until the advent of man came to light in Buenos Aires in 1910 (despite more passports in 1916 indicating the date of birth) in Morocco but raised in France who has been acknowledged as a defender of middle-level and in Spain in the guise of technical success, it was always exiled in the corners of the stage semibui football. To his admirers remain for ever the brilliant trainer and proud that, with impudent skill and exceptional gifts as a psychologist, has formed the Inter strongest of all time. To his detractors, however, will always be remembered as a controversial individual and megalomaniac who liked to concentrate on themselves and on any one who had the good fortune to meet a president who has the permission to have a core of world class (all the back-up striker Giacinto Facchetti, the enlightened midfielders Luis Suarez and Mario Corso, the extrovert striker Sandro Mazzola) with which it was impossible not to win. From both sides, however, will be commemorated forever like a character who has given the enthusiasm and care provided by our national football depressed and sickly after the war, that only a "Wizard" - a nickname, and in fact - as Herrera could heal.
arrived in Milan in the summer of 1960 returning from recent triumphs with Barcelona, \u200b\u200bbetween the concerns of some exaltation of many others, the new coach comes as the party seeking to change the mentality of football in our country and the Inter in particular, where the rudder is the generous oil Angelo Moratti who for five seasons vainly chasing the conquest of a title to rip and "HH" to the competition has literally covered with money (employment record of 45 million per year plus any premiums twice the team), a topic which Helenio Don was always very sensitive. Its impact on the entire world of football is flag, immediately, a disruptive unprecedented: he signs hanging in the locker room reciting absolutist slogans such as "who does not give everything in football does not give anything," subjects the hitherto players unaccustomed to strict diet and training with an intensity never seen geared almost exclusively on speed, introduces the practice of withdrawals, take out a champion beloved by the people as Antonio Valentin Angelillo in the name of compliance with its rules, it creates new drawing directly from the youth sector, he performed in sensational claims from the beginning of the adventure ( "Vence todo y contra todos,
President, passed the first two tournaments devoted to assimilation and settling methods Herrera (hampered, indeed, even by some circumstance "abnormal" too, such as the senseless repetition of the match-scudetto with Juventus April 1961, initially as Inter won at the table because of the white fans invading the pitch), but began to tire of the many promises of expensive South American engineer who regularly do not follow the facts. The doubts of Angelo Moratti, who in late spring 1962, had also led to believe the emerging Mantova coach Edmondo Fabbri, however, will soon be dispelled by the start of a cycle fictional phenomenal three championships (1963, 1965, 1966) two Champions Cups (1964, 1965), two Intercontinental Cups (1964, 1965), an Italian title vanished in a play-off against Bologna previously penalized and then rehabilitated arguably dal'accusa doping (1964), a second cast to the winds all ' Last day as indeed happened for the best European finals the same year (1967), a sustained period of unchallenged summit in which they were routed opponents the likes of Juventus, Sivori, Rivera AC Milan, Real Madrid of Puskas and Di Stefano, Eusebio's Benfica. Italy, Europe and the world for five years are of absolute domination black and blue, the name is indelibly designer of the wonderful team of Herrera and Moratti, the architects of a team that until then was called Inter and from there Then, in the years when a Milan increasingly populated and powerful development is enthusiastic about "The Glock" sung by Celentano, would be eternally been renamed "Grande Inter". Unique in the history of football in our house, along with Turin's Valentino Mazzola, to be compared to the adjective "Great", a magical group, led by just a "Wizard" nomadic, charismatic, arrogant and successful. One who, after having led for eight seasons legendary impetuous cry of "Vamos a ganar!"
Since then, Herrera is still now the only technician to have brought the European Cup on the Inter side of the canal, that cup that today the entire nation calls on the Portuguese Jose Mourinho, in many ways similar to its predecessor, "HH" (bold and extraordinary communication skills, honors and enviable bank account, very conscientious worker but actually not prone to calcium-performance, more attractive and authentic leader of the dressing room) and united to him, as well as whether to divide public opinion in an almost clear distinction between those who loves and who hates him, from both entered in force in the history of the Beloved: the one went wonderfully written, the other about a year and a half started to do so.
