DE BOER CONFIRMS 23-MAN SQUAD FOR CHIEVO OPENER

Three goalkeepers, seven defenders, six midfielders and seven forwards available for the first round of Serie A

APPIANO GENTILE - Frank de Boer has named 23 players in his first Serie A squad. Inter will kick off their league campaign against Chievo at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi in Verona oin Sunday night (20:45 CEST).

Here's the full list:

Goalkeepers: 1 Handanovic, 30 Carrizo, 46 Berni;

Defenders: 13 Ranocchia, 18 Erkin, 21 Santon, 25 Miranda, 33 D'Ambrosio, 55 Nagatomo, 94 Yao;

Midfielders: 5 Melo, 7 Kondogbia, 17 Medel, 19 Banega, 27 Gnoukouri, 77 Brozovic;

Forwards : 8 Palacio, 9 Icardi, 10 Jovetic, 11 Biabiany, 23 Eder, 44 Perisic, 87 Candreva.

Good to see Brozo & Gnoukouri back on the team. I'm predicting the following lineup:

Icardi
Perisic - Banega - Eder
Kondogbia - Medel
Nagatomo - Ranocchia - Miranda - D'Ambrosio
Handanovic​

We'll most likely see Candreva in the second half cause of his lack of fitness for 90 minutes.

EDIT: Whoops, totally forgot about Murillo being suspended.

 

[Batman]

Why Murillo isnt called?

We're seriously lacking depth in midfield and defense for a team that'll play in 3 competitions.

 

[Y&h]

He's suspended.

Well at least now we all know in what language De Boer trains: it's not italian, it's not even spanish but English lol

I expect a highly motivated team and a win, nothing else. Would have predicted 0-3 because all the players should be determined to show their abilities in front of the new manager [that's the impact expected on the replacement of Mancini].

But given that Ranocchia is playing, it could end up 1-3 or even 2-3.

Can't wait to see Banega feeding our sexy forward line

Got send of in the last serie a game last season. So suspended for this game.

 

[ADRossi]

Us and Roma have to be the only Serie A teams that train in English. Maybe Napoli?

 

[ElDuccio]

thats goud felipe hop

 

[kameru]

Why spaletti should speak English?

 

[Wobblz]

Why spaletti should speak English?

Or Sarri for that matter.

 

[Shaun]

I believe it's more about the composition of nationalities in the team. English is often the most universal. Therefore it makes more sense to shout things in English than Italian or Spanish even if the coach is Italian

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I believe it would make more sense to shout things in Spanish. It wouldn't surprise me if at Inter there are players who don't speak/understand a word of English (it wouldn't surprise me in the case of DDA, Candreva and Santon for example). Icardi, Banega, Medel, Ansaldi, Murillo, Palacio and Carrizo all speak Spanish and i think Miranda, Melo, Kondogbia and Éder too, at least i think they understand it.

 

[Inter2010]

If that language fails thats Ok... they can alternate to sign language...

But on serious note... all I'm expecting is a winning language to be employed

 

[Benfiquista!]

Forza Inter!

uh... santon played at newcastle. but considering our team is half argentine spanish seems like a good bet

 

[InterFCAustin]

We gonna win 1-2

 

[morrisama]

i'd like to see Eder as our CF starter instead of that greedy and shameless scumbag.

 

[Michael]

 

[Ronaldo]

Hopefully the previous formation is the one we are going to see. I want to see Candreva intead of Eder.

Eder is not good on the wing.
