Birra Moretti

[Jimmy]

The squad called up:

Goalkeepers: Alberto Fontana, Francesco Toldo

Defenders: Francesco Coco, Ivan Ramiro Cordoba, Giuseppe Favalli, Marco Materazzi, Sinisa Mihajlovic, Giovanni Pasquale, Gonzalo Sorondo, Javier Zanetti, Zè Maria

Midfielders: Esteban Cambiasso, Edgar Davids , Emre Belozoglu, Javier Francisco Farinos, Georgios Karagounis, Andy van der Meyde, Juan Sebastian Veron, Ianis Zicu

Strikers: Adriano, Julio Ricardo Cruz, Alvaro Recoba, Nicola Ventola


Take note of that Adani and Lamouchi is not in the squad. Adani didn´t play against Bolton either.

Hopefully we have found a new club for him. Just as long as we don´t cancel his contract.

Let me know if you can notice any other player(s) that are missing.

[Riku]

Good to see Emre there which means that his injury was nothing serious. But where`s Stankovic? He was subbed out in the game against Bolton so maybe he has an injury? Hopefully nothing serious.

[Gaetan]

What's Vieri up to? haven't seen him in awhile. For some odd reason, i get the feelings that he may get some slack cut by Mancio but i certainly hope that my gut feeling is wrong. We need Tritolo to be back on top form to be able to gain a respectable league position and have other's fear us like we did in the Cuper era.

Another odd thing is fellow Italian international, captain Canna seems to be off the list. Is it due to injury? can't possible be because of that incident with his son and he didn't go to Japan for it, maybe Mancio doesn't think he's fit enough. We all know he has that injury he hasn't tooken care of and has been doing alot of work off the ball in the gym.

Vieri got injured during Euro 2004, he's training on his own (well with the other injured players), he's not going to be available for the game against Basel, not the first leg at least.

[MoH]

Watch it live on Canale 5! I know I would

[INTER_FAN]

Who we are gonna play against in this Birra Moretti games, I wish i can watch the games but I doubt there is a channel here in canada which would show such a thing

I think Adani would leave, I dont know if C. Zanetti is ready to sit on the bench for longer times, I believe Emre would stay (I hope so) we wont need Either Cruz or Ventola, and also I guess Lamouchi and Farinos would leave, and also one extra from teh defenders maybe loaning out Sorondo, Burdisso is doing more than great in the pre-season matches.

would Kily and VDM stay? no idea, but we all know for sure we have right now a large squad which we cant afford to keep, the Mancini project would make everything clear before Basel or after the Qualifying round.

Do u know guys that if INter Plays Chelsi in CL, that Veron cant play, they made him or us (dont know) sign on that. they dont wanna another Morientes like what happened last year for Monaco vs. Real Madrid.

Take Care All and Forza Inter from Canada

We're gonna play Juve and Palermo, two mini-games, 45 minutes each.

[Interfanatikus]

Bobo and Cannavaro???

[Pod]

On the transfer list
Sell them both !!!

[Interfanatikus]

Pod:I love John Frusciante and Red Hot Chili Peppers!!!

[Pod]

Yeah ,they are great.I listen esspecially John Frusciante solo projects.I just love it.

By the way,Forza Inter

[mMontenegro]

Bobo and Cannavaro???

bobo has injury. He's going to miss first game vs Basel

Cannavaro had family problems. It's something about his on

[Jimmy]

So what are the plans for this game, then? Well, I think we should play more or less the best team in both games. My concern lies in that Davids haven´t played much at all with Inter and whether we should rush him into the first team in time for the Basel game. Thus far, we have Cambiasso and Veron who ought to be the most familiar with eachother in central midfield. So I think we should continue with these two in this cup. Davids should get prepared for the second leg.

Recoba and Adriano should be the strikers.

[Handoyo]

Dejan Stankovic is the most notable absentee from the list. It's unknown whether he's injured or just being rested. Adani and C.Zanetti are not called up either. Adani's future looks bleak and he doesn't deserve this after his good performance last year. All thanks to Mancini. I'm quite sure that C.Zanetti will stay though since Mancio seems to have a liking for him, for he asked for CZ when we wanted to buy Nesta.

My predicted and preferred line-up would be:

          Recoba   Cruz          

Emre   Cambi   Veron   Van Der Meyde

Coco   Matrix   Cafè   Javier Zanetti

             Toldo

* Adriano is rested and should come for the second half. I heard that he looked jaded against Bolton. Match fitness is needed. But to get him injured is silly. And besides. Adriano already has some match fitness behind him as he played in the Copa America. Definitely shouldn't be used for the full 90 minutes.

*We should minimize the number of substitution. As I've said many time, the players are not used to playing with Cambi and Veron. These 2 are the central midfielders and hold a very important role for the team.

*I don't wanna see Davids yet. I'd rather save him until the beginning of the season. Davids has not played with the team at all rather than some minuted in Bolton. I'd rather used a slightly more proven & tested Cambi - Veron.


About Vieri, there's no way in hell he's slacking. Pat, what were you thinking, seriously? Just because he's the superstar of the team and that Mancio is his good friend, he can slack. I'm sure Mancio will want Vieri to be in his best shape since playing an out-of-form Vieri and losing the match would only damage Mancio's own reputation. Hey, even Helveg didn't slack when we were under Zac!

[Jimmy]

We are starting against Juventus tonight. This is the lineups I want to START for each game:

INTER - JUVENTUS





INTER - PALERMO

[Mikkel]

would Kily and VDM stay? no idea, but we all know for sure we have right now a large squad which we cant afford to keep, the Mancini project would make everything clear before Basel or after the Qualifying round.

I think that Kily may be sold weary soon....Probertly to an English team...I have heard that Spurs are weary Intersted in him...and should have made an offer for him..

[CafeCordoba]

I would change a bit those line-ups Jimmy prefers. These are mine.

Inter-Juventus

               Toldo

J.Zanetti   Cordoba  Materazzi   Coco

           Veron    Cambiasso

Van der Meyde                    Emre

           Adriano     Recoba

Inter-Palermo

               Fontana

Ze Maria   Cordoba  Mihajlovic   Coco

           Veron    Cambiasso

Karagounis                         Emre

            Cruz     Recoba

So then after 50-60 minutes

Ventola -> Emre (Recoba as LW)
Farinos-> Veron (Cambi more offensive)
Favalli-> Coco

I think those players should play that much and then subbed. After them maybe Davids could replace Cambiasso at 60+ minutes.

Remember Jimmy, Lamouchi isn't called. It's so easy to forget who's called and who's not. We have over ten players after those 23 called ones.

[SB9Dragon]

Lamouchi wasn't called up Jimmy. Remember You said it yourself.

Aaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!
