Barcelona - Inter (28 Apr 10) []

[mikepugs]

I almost had a heart attack watching the last 10 minutes of this game (especially when Sneijder almost gave Barca a penalty). Our aggregate was saved by some absolutely stellar defending by Samuel and Lucio (the blocks). Luck is on our side!

Forza Inter!

 

[Fabio]

Our biggest game in years.

0:1

Sammy the fuckin legend.

WRITE IT DOWN !

We're in great situation right now. But it's not gonna be easy as you say it.

2:0 for them and we're out and they deffinitely are capable of doing that.

We already lost 2:0 with them, tho it was without Sneijder but they were really weakened too - No Messi, No Ibra.


Our main prio, should be to score 1 goal. Especially now when they are without their Captain. 1 goal sees us 99% through, becouse I can't see Barcelona scoring 4 against us. No matter if they are home.


But it's gonna be massivly hard. Our last game on San Siro was a huge disaster for us. We neither couldn't create shit nor even TOUCH the ball.



We definitely have huge advantage having in mind that they need to score 2 goals and not concend any, they are out of Puyol (and propably Iniesta).
But let's not forget that the advantages comming from playing at Camp Nou are immesurable.


Let's hope our boys are up to the task and nothing luck-related will be against us.


P.s. MAICON - get back to health quickly!

Still long way to go, but God INTER was amazing today. Thank you Nyall for opening this thread. It will be hard, but i have a great feeling. GO INTER, no matter what, at the end, we are always with you!!!!!!!!!!

 

[vassago]

we can do it...nothing is impossible... this inter is grande!!!
7 wins in a row? why not

 

[kylan05]

1 goal. Please Inter.

Unbelievable! We're here.

 

[milton]

this should get us to the final!!



but seriously i think we should go over there with the same formation as tonight, we looked fairly solid in defense and we have the players to exploit their fragile defense, i hope the team will look for more goals

In Barcelona everyone is talking about a 2-0, but they forget Eto'o still has a personal vendetta against the team who insulted him last summer.

Maicon and Zanetti should be very careful, Samuel is very important but not as much as those 2, we still have a legend like Cordoba, very underrated here in the last year.

Why can't we play like we did in the first half? i say we should repeat the lineup (remember Stankovic is suspended, and Muntari sucks this year) with Pandev.
We can obviously put Chivu in and play:

Maicon Lucio Samuel Chivu Zanetti
Cambiasso Motta
Sneijder
Eto'o Milito

Not a bad lineup, Chivu and Zanetti could destroy Messi. And we can still be dangerous in the counterattack. But i go with the same lineup than against chelsea and today.

IF ANYBODY OTHER THAN NYALL OPENS THE THREAD FOR THE FINAL I WILL FUCKING KILL THEM

 

[lonewolf19]

Not a bad lineup indeed Alex. We should keep playing quick counter and nick an away goal. One away goal and we are thru.

oh god, i cant wait for this match

I will fucking throw them out of my building. It's really high.

 

[Alex de Large]

Btw, Puyol will not play the game, bad news for Barcelona but also bad news for Inter because Zanetti as our captain will need to shake hands with that cry-baby, dirty, midget, fascist, hypocrite called Xavi Hernandez.

Inter exposed a huge weakness of Barca. They play a high defensive line in order to pressure, yet that left them open for multiple counter attacks. In reality, other than Pique (since Puyol will be out) they have very poor defensive skills. They play good team defense, but one on one they are quite poor. Milito was left in the box to assist to a wide open Wesley, Wesley had an open header which was scored by Milito, and Maicon fought off a challenge by I think Puyol. One should note that Arsenal exposed this a few times but didn't do enough defending themselves. Ball pressure is also an important aspect as well; Motta's challenge earned Milito a goal.

Mourinho had Inter playing great defense, exposing them on the counter attack, and hassling Xavi and Messi. I'd never seen Xavi stand on the ball, yelling because he had no one to pass to. Inter made one defensive mistake early and it lead to a goal. Barca had possession but never really created an attack one would deem of Barca quality.

Eto'o is going to go back to the Nou and come away with an away goal to send Inter to the finals.

Inter 1 Barca 1; 4-2 on agg.

Just one word: Messi

He didn't score against Stuttgart nor Arsenal in the away fixture also but we all saw how he dismantled them at the Nou Camp.

Before the first leg, I thought it's gonna be 65-35 to Barca. But now, it's maybe 50-50 or 55-45 to us.

Forza

:drool:

 

[Universe]

Puyol, Samuel and Stankovic will miss this match.

I hope to GOD Maicon, Lucio or JZ don't pick up a card in this match I would obviously be overjoyed for us to reach the final but it would really break my heart to see Zanetti suspended for it.

 

[Alex de Large]

Samuel misses the game? they said previously here that he is only cautioned.

 

[Handoyo]

Samuel will NOT miss this match. Jesus Christ Uni did you know how many Interisti had cardiac arrest when you spew that shit!?
