I think Dyonisius did a very clever thing: Since LI is impossible to defend against at least until this season, he maximized IS on his players in favour of the ID. What's the difference between ID 15, 16 or 17 if nothing can stop IS 19? So instead of building a triple 19 players with 300k+ salary, he saved up on ID. If the saying "offense wins games, defense wins championships" holds true for outside players, it's the other way around as far as SF, PF and C go. His Inside defense team rating is lower than Whitebeard's, and he's playing at home.

He was first to realize it, has been working on it and now's the time to reap what he sowed.

I don't know if this is really correct. If you watch Italy NT games we have so much more offense than defense but we lost vs. others NT with less offense and better defense.

I don't think you can compare NTs with clubs...also except for this season, your last two seasons doesn't count because your NT manager disappeared. Which games exactly did you have in mind?

Ah sorry, missed that. Anyway, the point is their Inside defense team ratingi is about the same, but Dyonisius won by almost 30 points. Actually they both have more or less same team ratings save for Inside scoring.

Better Shot Blocking won't change that unless managers start to build teams in different way. But that was true also before SB change.

Last 4 games are all played with us having better offense e lower defense than our opponents. 4 losses. For me this means that having only a beast IS is not the key of Dyonisus power otherwise we should have won... for me there's somewhat else on his players that make his team so powerful and effective but not only high IS and medium ID

Italia's problem is SG and SF position. Dyonisius has SGs with IS=13+ and SFs that are listed as PGs because they have good Passing and OD. Also your last four matches were played against top European teams. One of them even used more effort while other was a home team.

I don't want to talk about our losses. I only wanted to say that for me ID is much more important than IS...
