Inter cancel Moretti date
Friday 4 July, 2008
Inter have pulled out of this summer’s Birra Moretti Trophy on August 21, which would have pitted the Nerazzurri against Juventus and Napoli.

The tournament has taken place annually since 1997 and has been won by Juventus five times, Inter three times and by Napoli and Udinese once each.

Inter won last year’s competition after beating Napoli 2-0 and triumphing over Juve 1-0 – David Suazo was the Player of the Tournament.

Sources suggest that new boss Jose Mourinho has requested that the Beneamata pull out of the Naples event and they will be hit by a fine for their late decision.

The Biscione’s city rivals Milan are expected to take their place and the confirmation should follow shortly.

Very smart for declining this tournment! Extra rest is essential

I don't like the pulling out. Easy way to gain confidence (or lose it).

Does anyone have any information on where the Supercoppa will take place?

 

[NimAraya]

So who's gonna take the penalty?! Jose Mourinho?!

wtf??

Good decision, playing 3 halves of 45 minutes just 3 days before you have to play half way across the world(for a trophy and more importantly against Roma) simply doesnt make sense... the only problem I have is why coudnt we cancel this earlier? Or maybe have it rescheduled,I'm sure the sponsors would understand...

 

[Mustafa]

What's the point of this tournament anyway. It's boring and silly, unlike Emirates Cup or LG Amsterdam Tournament.

 

[Suneet]

Its a charity thing... I'd like my club to be charitable for something else rather than help portuguese clubs with 35m euros

 

[Karim]

It was something that has become tradition and loved to watch, it was like a teaser for the season, oh well I hope the TIM Trophy doesnt get snubed by Inter

 

[Karim]

Well, it has been confirmed in Arabian news that Al Hilal of KSA will play us on the 24th of July in their Italy camp, so I guess it will be similar when we played Al Ittihad

1 question. Do you know if Tim trophy will be played on San Siro?

 

[Karim]

I think it will be in the San Siro this time as well

 

[nutcracker]

and how do you buy tickets for it? at the day of the even? does anyone know that?

They can do charity buy playing non Italian teams in a normal game. Or organise a friendly tournamnet, similar to Emirates Cup or Amsterdam Tournament and give some percentage from tickets sale to charity.

 

[nutcracker]

its stated on inter.it now that tim trophy will be in Turin.

 

[Stefan]

All training sessions closed is quite a change from the mancini era. Also I see on the training schedule up to the tim cup the boys will be having double sessions even on the days when they have a match. He is really going to get them in shape.

I feel for those boys.

 

[Suneet]

Makes sense... last season Mancio complained in the first few weeks that our players were not 100% because they are all physically big and strong.. remember the Fenerbahce loss? OR the Livorno draw?

Mourinho is making sure that doesnt happen...

 

[Pulsar36]

Where did you infer that there are double training sessions on gamedays?
