Question 332

'X' is a tactical system in football with an emphasis on defence. In Italian 'X' means "door-bolt". Practically, it means a highly organized and effective backline defense which is intended to prevent goals.The system was made famous by Argentine trainer Helenio Herrera of Inter Milan in the 1960s who used it to grind out 1–0 wins over opponents in their league games. The key innovation of 'X' was the introduction of the role of libero or sweeper, a player positioned behind the line of three defenders. Real 'X' is no longer used in the modern football world. Nowadays, it is used mainly by weaker teams, in order to reduce any technical gap against stronger teams by showing a more physical approach to football.
