| Cambiasso, Eto'o and Pazzini celebrate after scoring against Roma |
A 5-3 result was great, even though Roma gave Inter a scare in the final moments of the match.
One must say that the final two goals of Roma did come off deflections and rebounds.
This victory is a fantastic boost for the team, and it was important to defeat Roma to prepare for Juventus.
The Inter fans are starting to respect Leonardo and are slowly forgetting his past with Milan. The work Leonardo is doing with the team shows he is a true professional.
Milan are starting to slip and many are doubting if they can stay on top of the Serie A table.
One more mistake and Napoli could eventually be in first place. Inter surely must not be underestimated as with a game in hand they are on track as well to challenge Milan for the title.
Some say Inter are the real anti-Milan. This could be true as the more Milan lose points, the more hunger Inter will have to win matches.
I love the look on the face of Ibrahimovic when he finishes a match without winning all three points. It shows that Milan are under pressure and the closer the other teams are getting to them the more they seem to be cracking under pressure.
Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar was interviewed this week and said that Inter knows what it means to lose a lot of points and have other teams catch up. He said it is definitely not a nice feeling to train and play under.
Now Juventus are next. They are not to be underestimated as they strengthened their attack with some good players.
Inter have also strengthened the front and with Milito out of action for a month now, Pazzini will have a bigger role to play up front with Eto'o.
Leonardo will most probably start introducing Pandev again as a replacement for Milito if he plays with three attackers upfront.
The match against Juventus will be very exciting and even though Juventus are stronger now and are building a lot of confidence but Inter are still the favourites to win.
If Inter attack early and if Sneijder is in good form, Inter can surely win the match.
If Inter do win the match, Leonardo will surely prove to everybody that Moratti made the right decision in hiring him.
Then the ultimate test will be when Inter play against Milan.... but we can talk about that another day.
