It was interesting if not quite as methodically thought out as a Sacchi/Capello set-piece of yesteryear. Very good pick up Ursus, I remember that Inter game.

Zenga appears to be obsessed with various means of trying to fool/confuse/distract the opposition. When Catania played Inter, they were doing a thing on free kicks where four or five guys rushed offside and then ran back into an onside position just as the kick was taken, and engaged in somewhat similar nonsense on corners. My gut feeling is that Plasmati decided to take what seemed to him to be the next logical step in this campaign on his own. Someone with access to video of their complete matches could do a nice compilation to Benny Hill music.

From the way it has been reported on various blogs you would think the whole team dropped their pants.
