Inter Milan shamelessly taking credit for our "Man lies down behind the wall" tactic.

According to the BBC......

Weren't WE the first team to start doing this? Seeing Knocky kneeling behind the defensive wall was certainly a first for me when I saw it near the start of this season.

Are there any other teams/coaches that can claim the credit for this defensive maneuver?

Edit: Managed to find a video of it on this page:

It's slightly different because he slides in but still....

It makes sense, not only cutting off the Daisy cutter, but allows the jumpers to leap as high as they can.

Obviously it's a job for one of the shorter players begging the obvious question...

We were first to employ cricket’s ‘the long barrier’ properly I reckon. Courtino’s is a poor effort...
