Bayern Munich - Inter (Pre-season) (5 Aug 08)

[Bes]

This is our next friendly after the Tim horrble cup . Let's show something to these germans

[MadeFras]

Burdisso and Andrea Mei vs Luca Toni... Start praying

[Forza_Inter]

After what I saw from Toni at Euro's, I think we will be fine.

[lonewolf19]

Lets focus on buildup play and attacking partnership. With Bayern ahead in preparation and our current CB duo it is hard not to concede goals.

[Azzkikr]

I just hope it wont be another 5-0 disaster like the Barca humiliation last pre-season.

I doubt it can be though, with toni in attrocious form and Ribery out injured.

Guys if we don´t win this , our first term of this season will be a disaster, because all of our defendersa re injured. We must sign aw world class defender!!!!!!!!!

Otherwise i don´t think we´ll win the scudetto.......

How the result of this match would affect our first team? Even if we win this, it doesn't make the CBs playing in that game a world class defenders.

Hopefully this will be inters best showing of the friendlies. I believe JM will start the best available players for this game. (probably the closest to an official starting 11) If this is the case, i think we can win. We have lost 2 45 minutes friendlies and unconvincingly won against bari and halil. But, inter played well for being 2 weeks in trainging. They had good possesion and passed pretty well. Now with some more training under their belts, the players should be able to pull it off.

Muntari, mancini, jimi, adri, figo, Javier Z, balotelli, JC, and cambi all played well in these games, but we have yet to see them all in one lineup. I think its a big possibility mourinho will start them together and try his hardest to get better rep. That just me, friendlies usually have no indication of how we play when the season starts, but i'm just a little worried about the supercoppa game and would like to see some convincing games before we play them. (muntari will be huge against roma and finally we have someone with a reliable shot, left foot at that)

[nutcracker]

I doubt we will win that. We still don't have our defense back and our striking force is not yet good composed. But we will see progress and we should see more convinving actions of our team and hopefuly some goal.

[AntonTheGreat]

wheres the problem though. We are missing some defenders while they are missing a big chunk of their offense. (riberi and toni out of form)

[nutcracker]

ok, they dont have ribery but we dont have zlatan, vieira, chivu, cordoba, samuel and whatever. It makes difference.

We never have Vieira

As for Ibra I've read that he might be on the bench? But probably won't be risked.

[Harmonyofdissonance]

Hey, so after some tough studying at university im back... Im studying at Munich university and of course i will go watch the game. Toni is out for injury, but they are right ahead in preperation, so it will be quite tough. But nevertheless forza inter.... But the fuckin munichs have horrible ticketing prices... Ive paid 35 Euros for this friendly... and it was the cheapest.... Crazy

[Asperiini1]

What is the time when this game starts ?

[Luka]

Just remember people, these are only friendlies, and with new manager, with changing system, the result is the last thing that we should care about. The most important thing is the progress of the team, in understanding Jose and his vision of football.

Acording to him, he sees the progres, and I'm not worried a bit.

We probably will draw at best this game, but what can we expect. The best 3 deffenders of our team are out. Take Nesta, Maldini and Kaladze(what a joke), out of Billan, let them face Bayern, and think what you'll get out of this combination.

What is the time when this game starts ?

19:30

[rockball]

Why are you comparing us with Milan?
Big deal if we don't do well. The important thing is to show improvement over the previous games. Actually it would be ok if we don't even do that since the coach may try new things and player combinations. Seeing improvement in players like Adriano, Deki, Cuchu is most important.

[Harmonyofdissonance]

Game starts 20:30

[Luka]

Why are you comparing us with Milan?

What ??

[rockball]

On the injury talk, you said if Milan's defenders are injured, they won't do any good. It doesn't matter what they do. And for us too, gelling together is a more important objective in the friendlies than winning them.

[Luka]

I was making a comparison, if someone is blind to see, that we are a little insecure in the back, and the reason why it is like that. It is not obvious for some people, so I thought it will be easier to picture our issue.

Your last sentence is everything I've already said in couple of threads over the forums.
