Ricardo Alvarez

[German_Interista]

...and you have just said "I don't know dick".
Hahahaha

The correct phrase is "Io non sono pirla".
"Io non Sono" = I am not
"Sa" is the present form 3rd person of the verb "sapere" = know

I'll leave this video, just for remembering the good ol' days (in which we used to BELIEVE)

P.S: In order not to be off topic, we need Alvarez fit or we will see Stankovic again.

Still impossible and awkward to do this as a German? :depress:

Kinda, but it's ok…I still like you. :slick:

 

[Stoppani]

Hahaha. But it did changed the whole sense of the sentence didn't it?

By the way, INTER was my reason to finish studying Italian so if I can be of any help translating news regarding INTER, I'd be glad.

Does someone know what is Scarpini's nickname for Alvarez? Is it Ricky Maravilla too?

 

[Adriano@10]

I have only seen two matches with scarpini commenting and ricky on the field and as far i remember he called him maravilla or ricky or both ricky maravilla!

 

[Ronaldo]

When is this guy coming back?! We need him!

 

[German_Interista]

Kinda, but it's ok…I still like you. :slick:

Well, enough offtopic. Hope he will be ready for Atalanta, we need our Maravilla boy

Well, I think a lot of you guys will call me stupid and so on, but...

Most of you call Alvarez slow - slow in running and slow in taking the decisions. And I quite like it. And that's why:

Inter games are terrible tactically for me. All of our tactics are - the defender goes to the sideline and shoots the ball anywhere. If we are lucky, someone manages at least to touch it. Also it kills to watch the movements of the players without the ball - well, actually, there is not a lot of that.

The other very popular tactic is - give the ball to Maicon. Usually he gets the ball in the position, he can not do much. But he does, he doesn't pass the ball to a player, but tries to make impossible and beat the opponent. Of course it's not successful and he looses the ball. Not mentioning the fact, that he doesn't bother to run at the defense. Why does he need to do that, let Zanetti do his job...

And then, there is our midfield. Sneijder. He gets the ball and has no one to pass it. Because others are afraid to get the ball, and they just get back or hide at the opponents. Well he tries to pass it to Maicon, and i have already written about that.

The problem is, no one tries to hold the ball at least for few seconds. They get it, and pass it anywhere. Not just midfielders. Actually in our games defenders do it more. Midfielders do not get the ball, and if they get, try to get rid of it as soon as possible.

And all these long ball anywhere... (actually it's another question. How these professionals can not make a direct pass from one side to the other...) Whats the point of long pass, if just took back the ball, and there is no one in attack. But well, there is "oh no, i don't want to run with the ball, i will kick it anywhere, i think Milito will manage to run as Bolt"

Oh and also. WTF is with the passing to a guy, who is well defended, while there is a free man. Also this passing to the player, who is back to the goal (sorry, don't know how to say that, when the player is turned from the goal) and there are two or three defenders behind him. I understand, if he gives the ball back, or play "two-man combination". But no, he tries to play like in the basketball.

So this is what i like about Alvarez, that he doesn't run as a blind, when he gets the ball. He holds the ball, and waits till there will be someone in a free space. He lets the players to make movements (well if they want to move anywhere). And at least he can make a direct pass.

Poli. I like this kid too. He's young, but calm and self confident. He also doesn't rush to much with the stupid passes. Also in yesterday's games, there were moments, when he tried to hold the ball, waiting for the teammates to go forward.

Maybe this post sounds a bit dramatically and of course there are always exceptions, even in our play. But i hope you understand my idea

 

[Inter7]

i honestly believe there is a huge lack of trust in this team wes, our defenders and other players dont trust each other they see someone open and they would rather play back or long ball

I like this.. case closed.

 

[javier_zanetti <3]

Grazie Aurimas.

i said it a lot, he isn't slow so much, he need time to be free and to show his real ability, give him time. i think that he's doing his job this year - 6 ass' and 2 goals, more than Sneijder.

 

[chipschups]

Ive just wonder how many minute alvarez and sneijder playing together
and here we go,,

=== gasp era
SC vs Milan = 1-2, sneij 90 min, alvarez 63 min, after that we lost 1-2
vs Palermo = 3-4, sneij 56 min, alvarez 19 min from 71' after that subs we lost from 2-2 to 3-4
vs trabzonpor = 0-1, sneij 90 min, alvarez 35 min from 65', from 0-0 we lost 0-1
=== CR era
vs novara = 0-1, snei 90 min, alvarez 45 min from 2nd half when 0-0, after that subs we lost 0-1

and this statistic when sneijder replacing alvarez or vice versa

vs juventus 1-2, 78' alvarez for wes
vs lille 2-1, 78' alvarez for wes
vs genoa 2-1, 81' alvarez for wes
vs lazio 2-1, 46' wes for alvarez
vs napoli 0-2, 46' alvarez for wes
vs lecce 0-1, 46' alvarez for wes

and
vs milan 1-0 when sneijder came in after alvarez subs off

even they both always get some injury this season
i think isn't a good idea playing them together just in 1 game
maybe i get wrong number, but just in 45 min??
i believe chivu and deki had more min playing together than alvarez and wes

they should get more min to playing together,,
before that, we need to made them stay fit at the same time,,
and this isn't easy task i guess,,

 

[Batman]

I'm starting to miss this guy really, I think we need him asap, dude has what we are lacking for in the last few matches, it's the movement, even though he is slow but he is tireless, he moves a lot and asks for the ball a lot, I know Sneijder does this too, but I can say Sneijder is not in a good shape plus Alvarez is way stronger than him, add to that his height.

When he'll be back for ffs????

 

[Universe]

Wouldn't be surprised if he didn't play another match this season tbfh. And no way in hell he's stronger than Sneijder. Who cares if Ricky is taller, Sneijder is short and stocky and built like a tank. Alvarez is mad lanky and physically loses out to defenders non stop.

 

[Grujinho]

Sneijder is short and stocky and built like a tank.

ok

 

[edi_interista]

I really think that this season Alvarez did better for us than Sneijder. He creates way more(much more goal chances) than Wes. Sneijder tends to complicate tings too much this season which is not his way of play, there is no more of his first touch passes that used to catch defenses unprepared! And since he came back our crisis started! I know that one of the reasons for our free fall is Motta but definitely the other reason is Alvarez(Sneijder) and of-course our stupid loan of Coutinho! I 'm seek and tired of our coaches and management not giving chances to young people!

 

[Sassuolu]

When it comes to cattiveria calcistica I think Wes is better than Ricky, by that I mean desire to fight for the ball sometimes Ricky can be a little complacent.

That's because there is no off the ball movement from the others.

And Coutinhos loan is the best deal Branca made in the past year or so.

It seems that you can't stress enough that Cou's loan is the best deal Branca made recently, every time someone mentions it you appear immediately to sort things out
(For the record, I like it too that he got regular playing time)
