So then, when a coach sees that his midfield cant hold on the tempo any longer, he changes a player or two not to let the team play too deep. But he changed PAto for slower Dinho who "isnt" ready to play from 1st min., but is ready to play striker on counters??

Carlo needed to insert Flamini for Pirlo and Antonini for Ambrosini, and push Marek in the middle:
------------flamini--------
---beckham----jankulovski---

that would lift the tempo of our game at moments when Ambro was carded and Pirlo was off the pace, and we fell deep defending.

And not take off only dangerous player who keept their fullbacks behind and insert Favalli on the LB.


Yes we fell down before the subs, but the subs only made it worse, They were completely wrong and only made us defend deeper instead of refreshing the team to build UP the tempo of the midfield.
