GRAZIE INTER!! :star:
Have to say that first half, not including the very end, was propably the best Inter I've seen. Everything worked for us, except goal scoring. We came to this match in a way, that stunned Viola for the whole match. They never got over it. Or.. The never got passed Walter Samuel! :star:
An impact Samuel has given to our defence is visible. He absolutely lead his defence from start to finish. Materazzi played disgusting match because his fouls, but from eye of interista he played rock solid. You just didn't get pass of these guys. Materazzi really plays well with Samuel, and that means something. Hazard-Marco hasn't ever been securer than this. Once Viola got their chance and then... Julio Cesar took it very nicely. Our latest brazilian talent has totally took number one place for him. Who would have thought it? Security and reflexes. Great match Julio Cesar!
Like most of you has sayed, mine man of match is also Luis Figo. How many has changed his opinion of him in last week? Many. I didn't like him earlier, when he was in Spain. Now, I can't be without liking him. Not to give all the credit for him - whole midfield rocked entirely. Cuchu made couple of passing errors, though. We cannot afford those against Juve. They'll strike of errors, that is sure.
Adriano - Martins. Hmm. No reason to worry. But like someone said, they make difficult look easy and easy look difficult. Adriano's teamwork has increased so much. That makes him even more valuable. When the thing starts clicking with them, they are instoppable. Let's hope it's alreadt next weekend. Or if not, we always have Il Jardinero.
In the end of the match, I was so pissed of Mancini not using his substitutes. Match slowed down from us already in the quite early in the second half and Mancini didn't use his substitutes. Everything was under control, ten minutes for Recoba and Solari wouldn't have done any harm. I was very confused when changes never came!
Anyway, it's good to go on. Full of confidence.
