Where is the real Inter?


Another defeat to the hands of Marseille in the first leg of the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
All the press is already going crazy with rumours regarding the coaching situation at Inter


For the first time yesterday, I was a bit dubious of his selection of players for this match.
The coach could of possibly made some mistakes tactically, but the players have to help him out a bit.
For once, Inter's defense looked good until that last second goal, but Sneijder was like he was not even there.
The coach is being forced to play Sneijder and in reality it has come to the point were this player does not fit in with the team anymore.
Then we have Forlan, who had a number of opportunities to score, but as ususal age is starting to show on this former star striker.
Zarate is trying, but he still can't get it right with Inter. He has a habit of dribbling the ball too much, but in saying this, he always had three players covering him. He was marked well by Marseille.
As Ranieri said, to play Pazzini he would had to have another formation and Milito was not well. Most probably he is saving these strikers for the next Serie A match against Napoli.
It is going to be a long month ahead as Inter have Napoli, Catania and Chievo to play against and this will surely not be easy.
The real Inter has to come on the pitch and play with the desire that won them the Treble.
That is the secret that Barcelona and Manchester United have. In some way the coaches always manage to fire up their players and they keep them on a high level even after they win a number of titles. The desire is always with them.
Today will be a very hard day for Ranieri with all the pressure for the press, but I really hope President Massimo Moratti does not do anything stupid as the coach has very limited resources to work with.
Forza Inter!!!
