Inter - Shakhtar Donetsk

[Hammoudi]

The return leg will be played on Wednesday the 24th of August. It will be played behind a dead silent Giuseppe Meazza.

We have the 2-0 advantge from the first leg, and thank God for that. I'd still go with the same line-up and formation, there is little room for error again.

[Choppin Onions]

I agree, except I'd rather see Pizarro start instead of Veron. It'd be a crime to waste Pizzaro's immense talent by letting him rot on the bench.

[Hammoudi]

It will depend on how we will play. If Mancini wants a counterattacking scheme, then Veron's long balls would be an asset. But so can Pizarro's quickness be! However, I like to play it safe giving the circumstances, so I might prefer Veron.

[Jony]

Its almost like another away game for us, so we shouldn't expect anything but a hard earned victory. Considering how we only lost 4 games last season, it will be a miracle if Shaktar even score more than one goal against us. I hope Samuel plays that way I can we can see if he is fit for Seria A football. By the way has anyone noticed how bad physically the Real Madrid players are? I guess Beckham was right when he said last year in the Euro, that he hasn't trained well enogh all year with Real.

Only one change in the team that was so good in the first game.Ze Maria instead of Solari.No experiments are allowed.

[Adriano@10]

hope that this time chino and samuel get some subs action
and i still dont understand that cesar plays fore me toldo is still better

[AdriOba]

the second game will be just a formality ... do u trullt believe that Shakhtar can do anything in San Siro ... no way ... but now we should think about Juve ... because there are 9 days remaining

[cool_cuchu]

they're still a great team....

we have to be careful, remember Arsenal whop our asses 5-1 when we were not focus

[Vic]

That was a diferent situation. They killed us due to the change of coach and due to us having to play with 10 men due to the injury on Matrix.

This game will be complicated no crowd means no pressure to perform and this can affect our boys sense of urgency. Someone said before that the Nord will have a big screen installed outside the Meazza so if they are loud enough that can prove to be an incentive!

'We now have to prepare for the UEFA Cup. It is frankly unrealistic for us to score three goals in Milan. Some of our players had suggested they were ready to join Real, Milan or Manchester United. Let's hope this brought them down to earth.'

their coach has no hope... he'll probably rest his players for the league.

[fcinterfan]

hey helal, is the torrent for the match already available??

[Hammoudi]

After Milan - Liverpool, everything is possible. Lucescu can be playing mind games making us think that his team gave up already.

[Cro Nerazzurro]

i hope ze maria starts with deki this game.
even samuel with matrix, cordoba as sub

pizarro and cambiasso from start with zanetti coming for cambiasso later and recoba for adriano later too

remember cambiasso cordoba and adriano have yellow cards

[Ali 2004]

congratulations 4 all ... inter must be careful in secong leg ...

i hope alvaro and samuel could take part ....

[brehme1989]

Welcome to the forums Ali!

What I can't understand with Mancio is that he has 3 subs available and uses only 1-2, when he has 5 world-class players on the bench. On the game, I hope Toldo,Samuel,Recoba,Pizarro and Karagounis play...

[Handoyo]

We have the 2-0 advantage from the first leg, and thank God for that. I'd still go with the same line-up and formation, there is little room for error again.

I have to disagree with you here Hamed. As much as this match will seem more like a match being played in a neutral ground, we have room for errors and thus we can do a few changes for this match, albeit not too many.

I really hope, for God's sake, that Mancini will take off his Veron blinders that he has been wearing for a year already and start David Pizarro. Last season, he has the excuse of not having a playmaker to replace Veron. Now, he has none.

I am very confident that we will go through. Looking at the body language of the Shakhtar players after 2-0 down tells the whole story. The only change I would make is replacing Veron with Pizarro.

[AdriOba]

they're still a great team....

against Arsenal we didnt have such a good team , Shakhtar isn't Arsenal to beat us 3:0 or 4:1 ... i cant think they can beat us in San Siro ... im telling it again ... second game will just be a formality

[ShakhtarFan]

Guys, why do you want to replace Veron? He was one of the best at this match

I hope my man the wall is ready to start this game. And maybe mancio should start pizzaro instead of veron but thats the only changes I would make.
