Answer
Catenaccio, a defensive tactic popularized by Herrera, involves a deep defensive line with man-marking and a sweeper behind the defense to cover any gaps. This tactic aims to limit the opponent's scoring opportunities by crowding the defense and preventing them from creating clear chances. Herrera's use of catenaccio helped Inter Milan win three consecutive Serie A titles and two European Cups in the 1960s.
