All time best Inter eleven

[jmaster]

I thought this topic would be the right one for my question.

I can recognize Zenga, Klinsmann, Berti, Ferri, Bergomi, Mathaus. Who are the other ones? Or they're not really important? It's from 22nd of May 1991, but I couldn't get much info for it.

 

[Inter Siamo Noi]

Brehme, Battistini, Paganin, Bianchi, Pizi.

 

[jmaster]

Yeah I can recognize Brehme now as well. Can you tell me who is who? I hope you don't mind :thumbsup:

This thread gets me wondering though. None of the line-ups since the legendary month of May. Surely this side should have more than a few representatives. After all, I guess it's the second most successful era in club's history at the moment.

The likes of Cambiasso, Samuel, Maicon are surely crawling into this side or maybe even should be there already (along the obvious choice of Zanetti) and Julio Cesar is a so-so compared to Zenga, Zenga has sentimental value, but it's hard to hand anything to him that you can't hand to JC (and JC has won more with us). But ofcourse the past players always sound better, because you hear about them in such positive way, will probably be another 10-20 years before they start to become recognised as one of club's best ever.

But ofcourse in lot of cases, it's the situation where most players spent their whole career in here basically, can't say that for the likes of JC, Maicon and Samuel, but what they've achieved and how they've played during those 5 years or so, amazing.

I guess now we won't put them into the line up, but after the stories we tell to the younger fans of the current players, they probably will.

Very good point and I do agree with you on that but some tends to overlook the honors won aspect and look at the period the player served the club. It's hard to keep any of the 63/64 + 64/65 players out but current players deserves recognition for their career here. I am gonna add Cuchu and Julioni to my subs in there

Well after Zanetti it'll be difficult.

Cesar, Samuel and Cambiasso are the only others who should be considered I think. Possibly Maicon but Zanetti has the RB slot fairly covered

I wouldn't be suprised in 50 years I hear of the great Esteban and the good side of Milito.

I think this squad is still pretty young to go into the legend books. I'd pick out Zanetti, Samuel & Cesar. By the next 4/5 years, i'm quite sure people like Eto'o, Milito, Motta would have won that right.

True.... there is a problem. Maicon and Zanetti both should be DR's imo. Zanetti is just a legend, been here for so long, became the symbol of the club... but then, in all honesty, from what I've seen, while he has been consistent top top player, he was never as good as Maicon. But I guess it's gonna be how to look at it... if it's a so-called legendary eleven or actually the best XI of how good the players were at their peak when playing for us.

Oh well, I'm just delighted to see this team play. Proud, brings a tear to my eye even. The way they fought at the end of the last season, all of them that were in the starting line up (plus Stankovic) deserve to go to the La Grande Inter when they leave us.

Zanetti: 724 appearances.
Cambiasso: 279.
Julione: 236.

They're among the most participated players in the clubs history and won everything with 5 consecutive schudettos so Tanel is right. They already should be considered.

i find it hard to believe grosso, maniche, rivas and dacourt haven't made anyones teams!!

My God! The freakiest player to have ever played for us with his funny running and skinny ass! Not forgetting we had Taribo West

Come on! Roberto Carlos, Adriano and L.Figo?! Ibra did win with us but I wouldn't add his ass in our all time best team, after all he's not a legend.

lol facchetti on the bench and no inter player of the '50,'60,'70,etc there.... sorry your team is just wrong.
it's a well-known fact that 8/11 of best Inter of all the time is from the Great Inter of '60,only a midfielder (instead of Bedin/Tagnin),a striker (instead of Peirò/Milani) and a keeper could play in that legendary squad.

 

[Black&Blue]

Trying to adapt that Inter players of the '60 with a more modern system,this would be a more reasonable squad.
------------------------------- Zenga ------------------------------
------- Burgnich ------ Guarneri -------- Picchi ----- Facchetti------
--------------------- Zanetti ----------- Suarez --------------
------------ Jair ------------ Corso --------- Mazzola ----------
---------------------------- Meazza --------------------------

(long) Bench: J.Cesar,Sarti,Maicon,Bellugi,Bergomi,G.Baresi,Passarella,Cordoba,Materazzi,Lucio,Samuel,Brehme,Ferri,Bedin,Oriali,Cambiasso,Marini,Berti,Matteoli,Skoglund,Matthaus,Prohaska,Sneijder,Beccalossi,Nyers,Ferrari,Lorenzi,Angelillo,Boninsegna,Diaz,Ibrahimovic,Eto'o,Milito,Altobelli,Ronaldo,Klinsmann,Serena,Rummenigge,Vieri.

I didn't know we are to have that many on the bench lol But ferrari? Matteo Ferrari?

Interesting piece of information of Benito Lorenzi, if no one here posted it before: lol

And what about that slice of lemon? Lorenzi developed a sporting hatred for AC Milan (although off the pitch he was best friends with Nordahl). A protagonist of the 6-5 victory over the Rossoneri on 6 November 1949, Veleno played his 22nd Milan derby on 6 October 1957. He won Inter a dubious penalty before referee Lo Bello gave one to Milan. Tito Cucchiaroni stepped up to the spot and, incredibly, missed. After Inter's 1-0 victory there was a brawl between the players, for no apparent reason. A few years later Benito explained why. "I was sucking half a lemon, which we did back then to quench our thirst," he admitted, "and without letting the opponents see me - but I realised the Milan fans were shouting all sorts of things - I put that half lemon on the spot, below the ball so Cucchiaroni would miss."

I think that for friendly match is possible having a long bench like that
NO absolutely not that Ferrari,I'm talking about this Ferrari: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Ferrari One of the best italian player ever (second only to the legendary Meazza)

Yeah I knew this story ,Lorenzi was a legendary character and a great player.
