Marcello Lippi
In one of the great match of the world cup 2006,it was germany vs italy in the semis,germany was the host,playing in front of home fans in dortmund,and they never lost an international game in dortmund.Dortmund was more like fortress,but it's about to change.
Italy starts the game playing with their usual 2 strikers with totti playing just behind toni.Full time 0-0.Starts of the extra time,lippi throws in alessandro del piero for simone perrotta.They already have made two substitution earlier in the 74th minute,alberto gilardino replaced luca toni,and in the 91st minute vincenzo iaquinta replaced mauro camoranesi.And now in the extra time they have 4 strikers playing at the same time.It's 4 2 4 system now,Totti,gilardino,del piero and iaquinta.Gilardino have some chances to score also del piero and iaquinta look threatening in front of goal,suddenly italy was looking more dangerous in the extra time.Finally in the 119 minutes fabio grosso managed to score a goal and del piero added another in the 121 minutes.

Grosso,pirlo and del piero celebrates
Final score, italy won 2-0,thanks to the coach marcello lippi who willing to take a risk with 4 strikers and playing an attacking football in the entire tournament that pretty unusual for italy whose famous for it's catenaccio system.He certainly managed to tactically outsmarted german coach jurgen klinsmann in this game.They went on to win the world cup beating france on penalties in the final.Coach lippi choose to resign after winning the world cup and he will be replaced by roberto donadoni.
