Maurizio Ganz spoke about the upcoming derby on “Corriere dello Sport” making points about both AC Milan and Inter. He said: “Certainly it comes at a sensitive time for both AC Milan and Inter. Mancini will bring enthusiasm to Inter but is it an important game for Inzaghi’s confidence. I do not see a favorite, the derby is a game where ranking does not matter. It is a major challenge and can be unpredictable, where anything can happen. Often the opposite of what you would think.
Inzaghi would have preferred to face Inter with Mazzarri? “He is right; Mancini has just arrived and has a better chance in this game.”
What threatens Mancini? “Mazzarri, in my opinion, was not the only culprit in this current situation. The players now have no excuse and Mancini must turn things around both quickly and a decisively.
Milan and Inter are in a similar situation and must make moves on the January mercato. “Surely if Mancini has agreed to take over Inter’s bench, it means that he has had some guarantees from Thohir. I think Milan needs to improve their back line, which in recent years has created the most difficulty.

no no no. this team has an excuse. a big one infact. the players are shit. at least most of them are
With a great coach and a healthy squad, I really believe we have one of the stronger sides in Italy. Its a long season…plenty of games left to be played. There is no reason to think that this Inter team cannot finish top 3. Champions league finish would give the team a huge financial boost and the ability to attract great players with a great coach and promising project. Lets all keep the faith. FORZA INTER
The team still lacks…we’re in a really tough position financially after changing coaches…Thohir has to inject capital and re-purchase the stocks at a higher value in order to avoid FFP bullshit.
a new right back would be great but still I think D’ambrosio could do well in a 4 back line. We don’t need anyone for central defense.
An attacking midfielder to sub for Kova would be nice as well – a hard working, tecnical one, with a great shoot would be superb – someone like Gylfi Sigthorson at Swansea, or naby we could simply recall Ricky from England?
Botta might be a good backup for kovacic, i hope theres a possibility for him to return in january, i dont know about Alvarez tho.
