Italian Football – Catenaccio

Open in Lightbox

I decided to have a go at depicting the Italian tactical system known as Catenaccio. Taking the literal translation of the word, i decided to incorporate a door bolt with table football.

The idea being that even if you tried to undo the bolt, the way the players are positioned i.e. their ‘formation’ makes it impossible to open.
