Andy Van Der Meyde

[Gismo]

i think the coach should give him more chances,then VDM can show his talent to soccer,we have to admit that Zacc is great coach,but VDM was not suit for his tactics ,so during this era ,he lived a hard life and wanted to return to Ajax

Exactly.

 

[Gaetan]

With Mancio as our coach, we just may see Van der Meyde finally given a chance to show us that he belongs in the starting line-up. Right now, it seems that the only right winger that he's battling with for a position is Ze Maria.

It's very early, and of course it's just one game - but at this rate I'll take any positives from Inter. It was very nice to see Andy performing well, especially after watching his atrocious performances in the Euro's. Sometimes he takes way too long to make his move and he's much too slow on the ball IMO.

 

[interafei]

of course ,it was just only a game,but we have a confitent that he can show his talents ,I believe in VDM,do you guys believe in him ?

I believe that VDM is a great wing.

 

[scutzon]

I still think that Van der Meyde has bags of talent. It will a difficult decision for Mancini to choose between him and Ze Maria, who have both done well. But I would like Van der Meyde to play against Palermo, since they are a weak side, and VDM will have the chance to attack.

Obviously one season cannot be the be-all-end-all verdict for a player of Van der Meyde's calibre. Last season went wrong for Inter on many fronts and VDM was one of the victims of an upside-down season. Judging from the reports and comments on FI, VDM seems to have had a good game against Werder Bremen. Ultimately, this can only be good for Inter, as we have yet another player to utilize.

Van der Meyde should definitely be used more often, to see if his string of form continues. If it does, then all's good, isn't it?

Ciao,
Tim

I think that VDM's pride was hurt and he rose to the challenge instead of escaping from it,i really respect him for that and i was one of the ones that always wanted him here i just hope he continues to improve...

 

[Gismo]

Certainly Tim, I agree. And I think he´s doing better now because of two factors: Mancini and VDM´s view of him. Nice to see he dropped his bad attitude off the pitch and decided to show his enormous potential on the pitch. Let´s hope this good form continues... Because if it will Inter just got stronger.

 

[Pani]

Andy is getting better and better!!!!

 

[Fabio]

Yep,more improvement and a first assist this season!

I am sure VDM will be one of the bright stars of this season and he will bust his butt of for Mancini..He has been on other side of the former coach and doesnt like it,i dont think he wents to be there again..

 

[Gaetan]

You can't really blame Zac much, it isn't like he handled the transfer market and had his choice to buy what he players he wanted. He was brought in for Cuper relatively early on in the season and just didn't rate Van der Meyde, we can think that he's crazy for not using Andy but the simple fact is when you think about it atleast his reason was valid.

Van der Meyde's mentality has changed. With the coaches trust, he's been able to go out to the field confident of himself and knowing that his place is safe at Inter. He feels much more comfortable and secure around Mancio, that makes a world of a difference for a football player.

 

[Gismo]

Cheers to that, Gaetan!

 

[Frisko]

Of course you can blame him. He should have adapted his game to the players he had, not the other way around.

Exactly...especially in the situtiation he came in. Zac did great for us IMO if it wasnt for those tough times in the middle ,the team looked good under him and challenged the big teams. However VDM and Kily and maybe Canna had alot to adjust to under him among other players.. he could have gotten more out of many players i think.

 

[SB9Dragon]

I also agree Ziyad. You've said everything that I would have said myself so I have nothing to add

 

[Interforeva]

I am so glad VDM is finally getting a chance to show everyone what he can do. The fact that he didn’t get used much under Zac always annoyed me, but VDM seems a lot happier now and it is showing in his performances.

He had a beautiful behind the legs chip again today which landed perfectly for JZ i think in the box...Super stuff,looked better every time the director played it over :star:

That was an amazing move! you could sense he's got more confidence in what he's doing out there. He wasn't afraid to slow down the game and stick in a few stepovers, try to shake his defender or his usual little flick to the side to run around his defender.

All that's good, but you've got to be dissapointed with some of his crossing. On a good amount of his crosses they were either way too long or didn't get any air whatsoever. Andy has got some work to do.

 

[Gismo]

Andy might play spectacular football. But if too many of his crosses are inaccurate I prefer Ze Maria over him. :stuckup:

 

[Ziyad]

I think he has the harder talent to come by...I truly think that crossing is easier to do than getting through the way he does...So if he works on it he should be fine..I agree that most of his last touches(crosses)didnt look as accurate as we might them to be..But he did have that nice assisst in this game and the previous one...I think he doesnt cross well because he does it soo fast as if his main concern is to get the ball out before the defender gets him so that way the quality suffers...Maybe if he took just a little bit more time and looked up more he would cross better...Just opinion.
