Internazionale Main Thread

[Mahdiano]

i just guess Moratti should stop complainin about winnin the CL if he is willin to do so with Luis Figo as a starter cause this will never happen , what can this 35 year old give us more i mean he was supposed 2 be retired a season ago and now we offered him last season and he wasnt worth it and here we go with another one and yet i expect another copy of last season cause Luis will spend more time with the team's doctors than on the pitch.

Moratti need 2 make classy options available for Mourinho and if Jose wants a 4-3-3 with wingers then we just shouldnt hide that we will need Quaresma to make it perfect with Mancini on the other wing and a creative striker like Ibrahimovic and Adriano.

We succeeded to cut Ricky's price from 40 millions to 27 and this means that there are real negotiations and offers from Inter or at least pressure from us or the player himself , but we shouldnt expect it 2 drop more than this unless we include a player in the deal and the only player that may be intrestin 4 the dragons is Pele , i know he's goin 2 be a loss but we all know that he will have no place next season and if we are talkin about future cause i know he's really promisin then we already have Muntari 22 years old and we also have Bolzoni and they both play same position so we can afford losin Pele if it is the kep 2 attract Quaresma.

Real Madrid r a threat in this transfer cause they wont go into weeks of negotiations , it's just a simple enquiry messege 2 Porto and whatever Porto will ask which is 40 millions probably then Madrid will find it a good capture cause 40 millions is nothin compared to what they were ready to offer for Ronaldo.

if we dont land Quaresma then the Jose 4-3-3 wont be as he expect it to be and as we saw so far in our pre season games we still lack creativity and we dont have 2 fool ourselves , 2 goals was the maximum we scored in a game and it was against a Serie B side Bari , even Saudi's El Hilal we couldnt score more than a goal against them and we didnt score a singel goal in the Tim Cup or against Seville and 1 goal was enough against Bayern from the few chances that we hardly created.

Figo had a lot of playin minutes so far in the pre season and if Mourinho cant realize that he will add nothin to the team but just makin us slower then there must be somethin wrong.
Super Mario can be an option although he's still young but Figo , no Thanx.

Plz Moratti just sign Quaresma and u wont regret it , i mean the guy paid huge amount of money for players that weren't worth it but Ricky is gonna be worth every peny paid for him.

Against Ajax, Inter were so organised defensively and offensively, with variation of making of the play associated with quick counterattacks. It seems that Mourinho's fingerprints have started to appear. But he preferred to 4-4-2, was it Inter's formation as well against Bayern Munich?

Mourinho: "Excellent job done"
Sunday, 10 August 2008 00:47:26

AMSTERDAM - José Mourinho is highly satisfied with his team's tour of Europe, which concluded Saturday evening with a 1-0 victory over Ajax in the closing match of the LG Amsterdam Tournament.

He said: "I'm very pleased with what the team did. In one week we have played against Bayern Munich, Sevilla and Ajax, winning two matches out of three, drawing one and, most importantly, not conceding any goals. The boys did very well.

"My compliments to all of them, but we can still improve a lot more. A good week's work has ended. The whole team was fantastic, both in training where I saw great enthusiasm, and in the matches.

"The boys tried to do exactly what I asked them to. They managed to improve something in every game. Now we have a whole week's work before the match with Benfica. Cordoba and Samuel are at a good point, they have already worked with the squad and they'll soon be back in full training. This is extremely positive for us.

"I'm very satisfied with the team's performance, but I'm also very happy for the 15 minutes Ibrahimovic played yesterday, and especially for the 55 minutes today. I hope I can use him for longer in Lisbon - at that stage he will be ready for the Super Cup clash with Roma."

On the outcome of the LG Amsterdam Tournament, Mourinho joked: "It wouldn't have been a drama if we had lost. This evening's victory isn't special. We should have played a final against Arsenal to see who should have won the tournament. They got more points thanks to the greater number of goals scored and this is why they finished in first place. (Smiles) Never mind, there wasn't another match to play..."

Mourinho concluded with words of praise for Adriano and Nicolas Burdisso, who gave another strong performance against Ajax. He said. "One name above all others for his performances in the recent games? Burdisso. He played three perfect matches with hardly any mistakes. I think the whole team agrees with me on this. Adriano? He did very well, both in Munich and here in Amsterdam. Physically he and Ibrahimovic are very strong and they are extremely technical players. With them on the pitch it's easy to play the kind of game I want."

Mourinho Is Not Invincible - Terim

Former Milan and Fiorentina coach Fatih Terim believes that Jose Mourinho’s Inter side are favourites for the Scudetto but he insists the ‘Special One’ is not invincible.

The coach, who spent two years in Serie A, has spoken about all things calcio and he has given his views on the top four’s chances for Scudetto glory this term.

The Turkey coach began with Inter, who are the bookies favourites to retain their Serie A crown.

“Inter are the favourites if they have the best [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic at their disposal,” Terim told La Gazzetta Dello Sport.

“Mourinho? I heard about the verbal fight with [Claudio] Ranieri, the Inter coach has always been a fighter.

“I remember when he was at Chelsea and all the scuffles with Arsene Wenger and tender Alex Ferguson.

“His might just be a tactic. Mourinho raises the tension to keep the reality of work alive.

“However, no-one is invincible. Ranieri? He’s a good man, I like him.

“Behind Inter there is Milan, they have a fierce attacking line up, Pato, Ronaldinho and Kaka form the perfect attacking trident.

“Juve? Their secret is Buffon. I like Amauri as well because he has a sense of goal and he is powerful.

“As for Fiorentina, Gilardino and Mutu will form a great attacking partnership, perhaps, the strongest in the world.

“Fiorentinta have always been strong but now they are even stronger.

“Roma? Spalletti has had the courage to start something new their and they will be amongst the protagonists.”

All the Scudetto challengers have done well on the transfer market this year.

Milan have made their objectives clear and Inter can expect a hard fight for the Tricolore as the big guns battle for glory next term.

Terim enjoyed a mixed career in Serie A. After a good start with Fiorentina, some clashes with the then president, Vittorio Cecchi Gori, led to his exit.

At Milan, a run of poor results cost him his job.

Frank, Lomba was right when he said that the first 65-70 minutes are the time that should be counted when we look at it from the physical point of view, yet I see that 4-4-2 is more effective than 4-3-3 for the current squad. Not just because of the capabilities of Inter's midfield when compared to Chelsea's midfield during Mourinho's reign, but also because of the nature of the Calcio where playing with three strikers upfront is so risky.

So Mourinho played 4-3-3 against Bayern, was the performance convincing? I apprehend that generally result is everything, but in friendlies, performances sometimes do count.

Dejan, Muntari surprised me. He wasn't just a destroying machine as I imagined - I actually didn't watch him since his Udinese days - he matured a lot and his passes have vastly improved.

So Lomba, you've started to like Adriano, haven't you? He never stopped running yesterday but what when he returns to spend his nights at Milan's casinos?!
