In a couple of hours time, Inter will be playing against Napoli in the Coppa Italia.
This will not be an easy match, Napoli are in great form, and Inter are coming off a defeat against Udinese.
Inter will be without Milito again, and this is a bit worrying. It seems when Eto'o plays without Milito, he does not play so close to goal.
The midfield has to work hard to feed the ball to Eto'o.
Inter have been boosted with Coutinho being welcomed back in the squad. His quick skills with the ball and speed could be just want Inter need, especially against teams like Udinese.
I am not saying Inter are going to win or lose, as that would be of disrespect to Napoli who are having a great season.
Napoli need to be respected and Inter have to be at 100% or it will not be an easy evening.
Leonardo had to study the mistakes of the last match against Udinese.
Inter must come out playing with the same desire they had when they defeated Napoli after Leonardo was in charge.
Now lets talk about Pazzini. A number of players have been reported very close to Inter in this January transfer window, but Pazzini is the closest of them all.
According to the latest reports, the deal with Pazzini has some minor details to iron out and he will be a Inter player.
I like Pazzini, he is dangerous in front of goal, and he works for the ball.
He is an home grown Italian player that is much needed in the Inter squad.
If he clicks with either Eto'o or Milito or both at the same time, Inter could have one of the best attacking formation in the Italian league.
Pandev is struggling at the moment and Inter do not have the time to wait around if they are still dreaming of winning the league this season.
They need an striker that is in form, and Pazzini fits that description.
Biabiany is also reported to be included in the Pazzini deal.
It is a shame to see Bianiany go as he is a very fast player. But his control of the ball when he arrives to conclude is a bit off.
Hopefully if the deal goes through, he will do well with Sampdoria. Probably he will play better under less pressure.
One of the downfalls of playing with clubs like Inter, Milan, Roma or Juventus is that the younger generation are put under a lot of pressure and if they cannot handle it after a couple of matches, they will be let go to another team.
Unless a young player has the total backing of the coach, he will not last long.
