Catenaccio describes a tactical system in football with an emphasis on defence and tactical fouls. In Italian catenaccio means "door-bolt" and it means a highly organized and effective backline defense which is intended to prevent goals.
Nowadays, catenaccio is used mainly by weaker teams, in order to reduce any technical gap against stronger ones by showing a more physical approach to football.Catenaccio is often thought to be commonplace in Italian football ...in particular the italian National football team.
The catenaccio system is often criticized for reducing the quality of football games as a spectacle.
