I’m saying damn, what if. What if Juan’s artistic bicycle kick had hit the back of the net. What if Guarin’s longshot from a standstill had flown passed Pegolo in Siena’s goal. What if Doveri had blown his whistle and called a penalty for either Nagatomo or Antonio Cassanos trips in the box. I’m saying damn, what if.
Let’s look at our three new members of the team. Zvadrako Kuzmanovic, in the center of midfield, has proven to be a good draft. Certainly for the price of two million euros. Stable and secure in his position. Keeps the ball, accurate in his passing game and a couple of really good passes that could have resulted in assists, if the game had just gone a little bit more our way. I’m saying damn, what if.
Mateo Kovacic played 45 minutes and did show us a little bit of what is hiding in his shoes. 18 years old and plays with smartness and without respect for the opposition. Exactly what Inter needs. Yet again I tell you that patience is the name of the game. He is young with no experience from the big leagues, so is the case for many other players in Inters current squad. It is a project that needs time to grow. As for Schelotto, I’m lost for words. If this player does not step his game up, a lot of steps, I do not believe he will last longer in Inter than Jonathan. But, we know that Schelotto has the potential to become something good and I will not judge nobody after one game. He might grow to become the new Maicon. Damn, what if.
This is a loss that does sting like a needle in the eye. 3-1 against a team like Siena. A team that scores the first goal from an offside position, then fouls two Inter players in the box that could have resulted in penalties and then takes the fatal step after Chivu’s red card and wins the game by three goals to one. I can’t lie, I am fiercely pissed off. Then again, I’m not satisfied with the referees in this game. You could think we were facing another “bianconero”-team. But, no matter under what circumstances, we should not lose against Siena.
Best on the pitch today for Inter, is once again Juan Jesus. A fantastic player, especially for his age. Maybe he is not completed in the mindstate of a central defender. It is possible to outwit Juan, but to outrun him? To win a battle for the ball or dribble passed him? Not a chance. If Inter can keep him in the team for the next couple of years, without Paris Saint Germain interfering with a duffle bag loaded with money, we have a defender of absolute world class in Inter.
Football isn’t pure logic, football isn’t statistics and mathematics. It is so many factors playing in and sometimes, it is enough for the squad from the bottom of the table to beat a team like Inter…for the second time this season.
to Mathaus 10:
Please friend, can you see that when is in Cambiasso and Nagatomo we play with 2 players minus. Cambiasso does not play, he is refer of our team, inside. Nagatomo doesn’t have idea where he need to play. I think better is:
Handanovic, Ranochia, Jesus, Zanetti, Scheloto, Benassi, Kuzmanovic, Kovacic, Guarin, Cassano, Palacio.
Håller inte med din analys Hampus. Inter gör åter en kass säsong o allt annat är direkt fel att påstå. Vi har varit väldigt uddlösa i de flesta matcherna utom, konstigt nog bla den mot Tjuve och några FÅ till. Vår trupp är inte bra alls men detta har sagts i flera år nu. Matchen mot Siena ingav visserligen lite framtida hopp men spelare som Kovacic måste ha tunga pjäser runt sig i laget och vilka har vi idag? Cassano? Tung pjäs?, passningsgeni-absolut men ingen fysiker. Jag tycker det mesta känns hopplöst. Ingen riktig striker, ingen tung mittfältare. Försvaret? Herregud… Du pratar om att Juan är jättebra men om vi synar försvaret tilllhör vi Serie A:s sämsta! 3 backslinje? What the f… Strama? Ärligt, hoppas inte vi lyckas ta oss till C L. Vi kommer bara gör bort oss som det ser ut idag.
Nästa match vill ja se laget såhär:
Handanovic
Z. Rano. Juan. Pereira
Kuzman. Cambi/Obi
Kova. Guarin. Cassano
Palacio
Saknar en typ av 4-2-3-1 nu, och pereira måste spela ist för naga, naga är inget mer än en breddspelare, pereira är klass som inte fått till det helt hundra än bara. Kuzmanovic va riktigt grym tyckte ja, väldigt bra i passningsspelet och positionsäker. Är cambiasso borta nästa match vill ja se Obi, tuff å bra i djupled vilket också kan ge cassano mer passnings alt. Sedan de fyra framåt tror ja skulle kunna dansa förbi motståndarna i år, jag hoppas innerligt vi spelar såhär i år!
First off, what the hell is Chivu doing on the field? They made a huge mistake when they gave him a new contract! With that salary and with the money they bought useless silvestre with they should have brought in a top class defender instead. When we don’t have the third defender to support Rano and Juan then Strama should play with 4-2-3-1 and not let a team like Siena to believe they can beat Inter. It’s like we invite them to steal the points and that’s the difference between us and the top two….that and the fact that we don’t have a true striker like Cavani,Etoo, Ibra, Falcao to steal the points for us…..
We need to go back to 4-2-3-1 .
All central defenders can’t attack at the same time. The players need to have spesific dutys and stick to it (They probably have BUT it doesn’t look like it. They play as if They think they’re the better team. And we need a natural striker that can do what Milito does when he’s out
……………..Handa
Zanetti Rano Jesus Perreira
……Cambiasso. Guarin
Palacio . Kovacic. Cassano
…………….Milito
And if Palacio needs be subbed , out someone inn inn his position. Don’t shuffle the whole team around!
