Wingers/forwards to track back, Eto, Pandev and Mario... I think thas pretty much how the modern game has become, 1 striker with 2 forwards who tracks back. What happened to the good old fashion of having 2 strikers, like Forlan and Suarez.

Almost this, Gabriel...
Menezes was asked about comparisons with other teams and NT(mostly Spain), and he was fast to show some differences. Regarding Spain, he wanted Brazil to really control the game(like we always did in the past), but with a more straight style than Spain. He want more goals...
I understood the "Mourinho's Inter with more flair" example, but there's(imo) a HUGE difference. Menezes doesn't want the winger/forwards to track back(so much) like Mourinho. Indeed, Robinho and Neymar can't do this, and if you look at Brazil x USA game, you can see when Brazil was attacked, Ganso track back to a CM role and Robinho take his place as CAM. Neymar help at the left, but without the responsibility of a winger. He's a second striker...
Regarding the 1 striker and 2 striker tracking back, like always, is the new fashion of nowadays. Until a team win something big with another style... I still like my teams with 2 strikers up front in a 4-3-1-2 or 4-4-2 diamond.

I know, I know
I think Robinho will gradually take Ronnie reigns, as I think next season he will go to MLS. Unless he can keep Lecce level for the rest of the season. What I doubt...

Inter is scared of Benitez so they didn't hear any of his requests, but the Spanish is facing some serious unsolved problem with the old squad. So whether he could have power on market or not, things are still not bright for Inter.

Inter will face our dilemma after the gold run we did in the near past. It's not easy to do it, but they needed to get rid of some good(but old)player gradually, and it was important to get this process started this past off season.
Like we said in Brazil, some players there are "sacred cows", and will not have accepted a more young player to take their place on the squad. They bought a young amazing prospect in Coutinho, but for a position the starter(Snider) still has legs... and will kill the kid development as Benitez is playing him as a winger right now
They need more reinforcements, but like with us in the near past(and now with the midfielder), without to get rid of some "sacred crows", the ambient in the locker room will be horrible.
Plus, Benitez will go to shop next season
