Very quiet

Well, as we have no Italian football it is very quiet lately. But Mourinho has been busy giving interviews. He keeps saying how happy he is in Italy and I believe he means what he says. He has a contract until 2011 and I believe he will honor it. He loves the Italian game but hates the interviews after the games, but yiu cannot have everything in life I guess.

Merry Christmas

I would like to wish all the Inter Club Malta members a Happy and Healthy Christmas.

Siena 1 - Inter 2

Inter had another hard game against Siena. Maicon's second goal was a offside, but like Mourinho said, sometimes they call against you can sometimes the Ref makes a small mistake and it comes in your favour, tonight it was Inter's lucky night. If Juve slip tomorrow against Atalanta, Inter will have a 9 or 8 point (if they get a draw) advantage over them.

Champions league: Inter - Man utd.

What a game this will be!!! I can't wait. It will be a classic, Mourinho knows Man Utd's tactics, so this should be a classic!!

Round of sixteen draw:
Chelsea (Eng) v Juventus (Ita)
Villarreal (Spa) v Panathinaikos (Gre)
Sporting Lisbon (Por) v Bayern Munich (Ger)
Atletico Madrid (Spa) v Porto (Por)
Lyon (Fra) v Barcelona (Spa)
Real Madrid (Spa) v Liverpool (Eng)
Inter v Manchester United (Eng)
Arsenal (Eng) v Roma (Ita)

Siena - Inter

This is another tricky match for Inter, what is good is that Inter's away record this season has been very good. What is another good factor is the remaining games that Juve have for the first half of the season are very tricky, they still have to play Atalanta, Udinese and Lazio.
Even though Inter do not have big teams we still have to play Siena, Cagliari and Atalanta, and we know what these teams are capable of doing. We have proof of this last weekend against Chievo. Lets hope Inter keep the concentration high for these remaining games
By the way, its good to see the players in a relaxed atmosphere with the coach and President this Christmas.

Inter - Chievo and other news

Sorry for the late update, but was a bit busy. Well Inter had a scary but wonderful game against Chievo, I expected them to push but not to come from 2-0 to 2-2. But like usual the Magic Ibra was a his best as usual. What a goal he did, he is hooting bullets at the moment.

Regarding Mourinho, I think he is finding the right balance with the players, and it is n0t easy to come in as a new coach with the champions of Italy. He even had a compliment form ex-coach Mancini that Juve and Milan have no chance or the league this year. Inter are just to strong.

Adriano I think should pack up and leave, we have just to much Drama with him, we need another hot striker on the team. Crespo needs a couple of more games to start to find the target, he will get there, we will need him even to give Ibra a rest.

And as the champions league, we will se Friday who we get, it will be exciting anyways.

Inter releases new book

Inter have released a new book similar to the one the Inter Club Malta published. Anyways it is another nice book to add to the Inter Library.

Inter - Chievo

Inter play the last place team, this can be very tricky, as these are the type of teams that can ruin your plans. Inter have a great chance to move ahead in the Standings. If Milan and Juve play to a draw and Inter hopefully win, Inter will be 8 points clear on both teams and if one team loses and Inter win Inter will be 9 points infront of one team and 6 infront of the other.
On paper Inter are the clear favorites, but hopefully tomorrow night I will be writing that we have won and then can watch the Juve - Milan game with tranquility.

I hope Mourinho does not play the 4-3-3 system as it is not working. He has to adapt to the team for now as they are clicking with 4-4-2 .

Werder Bremen 2 - Inter 1

Well, it was another disaster last night. This 4-3-3 system is not working yet, but I still believe Mourinho knows what he is doing. I think Inter will play better in the last 16 as Mourinho will not play any young players and experiment like he did last night. He will play the full team that is causing havoc in Serie A. When Ibra was put on, the game changed and Inter could of got a draw as a result. But anyways in the last 16 all the teams are strong, and I hope we get Manchester United as that would be a classic game, and I believe Inter can beat them. And I am starting to have my doubts about new signings Mancini and Quaresma, but I will give them a bit more time until I say they are flops.

Werder Bremen - Inter

Well, Inter should win this game, but there consistency in the league compared to the Champions League is different, lets hope they put the same type of game that they did against Lazio. I think Werder Bremen 0 - Inter 1

Inter thrash Lazio

Lazio 0 - Inter 3
Fantastic Inter, Inter went in knowing they had to play a very good team, but it is looking that Mourinho's hard line training is finally doing the job. What a game, Inter were in the lead in the first 2 minutes. If Milan and Juventus slip on Sunday, Inter will have a 9 point lead!!!

Lazio - Inter

Lazio has come back from a big win against Milan in the Coppa Italia match and they will be full of confidence to try to stop Inter from running away with the Serie A title.
Mourinho has told Balotelli to play in the Primavera game so, he won't be in the squad and Adriano missed a lot of training as he was sick with the flu (for real this time), but Mourinho did not think he was fit enough so he will be out of the game as well.
Lets hope Inter stay motivated even after beating Napoli last weekend, Lazio are not a team to take for granted and it would give Inter a big boost if we beat them.
The players called up are:

Goalkeepers: 12 Julio Cesar, 22 Paolo Orlandoni, 51 Vid Belec.

Defenders: 2 Ivan Ramiro Cordoba, 6 Maxwell, 13 Maicon, 16 Nicolas Burdisso, 23 Marco Materazzi, 25 Walter Samuel.

Midfielders: 4 Javier Zanetti, 5 Dejan Stankovic, 7 Luis Figo, 19 Esteban Cambiasso, 20 Sulley Muntari, 33 Amantino Mancini, 36 Francesco Bolzoni, 77 Ricardo Quaresma.

Strikers: 8 Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 9 Julio Ricardo Cruz, 18 Hernan Crespo, 21 Victor Obinna.

Cristiano Ronaldo to Inter???

Big rumour going around that Inter are looking at Cristiano Ronaldo and to give it more fuel, Ronaldo is saying he would not mind being coached my fellow Portoguese coach Mourinho. What do you think about this?

Is Tardelli right in saying Inter are the best team in Europe?

Tardelli thinks Inter has the strongest squad in Italy and even in Europe. What do you think? He is also saying Inter already have there name on the Scudetto. Is he not calculating the other teams?

First Adriano now Balotelli

Mourinho is right for not playing Balotelli. And he also has Moratti's backing. I hope Adriano learned a lesson for what he has been through and he should give young Balotelli some advice. Apparently Balotelli and Quaresma are slacking in training, and Mourinho will not take any crap from anybody, even his star player Quaresma.
These young players are really being stupid because they are playing with one of the best teams in the world and as well they have one of the best if not the best coach with the team, and you would have to be idiot not to learn from him.
