In the two years in Turin , Peiró completed 46 games (10 goals) before moving to Inter Milan in 1964 . Here one of the best teams in Europe had developed around coach Helenio Herrera , an advocate of catenaccio . At the back you were safe with tough defenders like Tarcisio Burgnich or attacking full-back Giacinto Facchetti and a cleaner like Armando Picchi , and world-class strikers like Luis Suárez and Sandro Mazzola , incidentally the son of the legendary Valentino Mazzola, were also able to defend the opposing team in need bring. However, in his two years at Inter, Peiró did not manage to get past the world stars in attack and only played 25 games (8 goals) during that time.
