Inter returned to the European cup game lining up against Celtic in the Europa League. The game that is a replay after the 1967 European Cup-final has great tradition and importance and the stadium was boiling upon kick off. I probably don’t speak for myself when I say that the You’ll Never Walk Alone song gave me goosebumps and off we went.
I claimed before the game that it was important to kill of the enthusiasm in the stadium quickly and it seemed like Mancini and Inter thought the same. Palacio and Shaqiri gave Inter a comfortable lead and that should’ve been game really. Instead defensive horrors lead to Celtic coming back to 2-2 in just 76 seconds. When we needed it the most Palacio took advantage of a huge mistake from Celtic’s goalkeeper Gordon and scored the 3-2 goal for Inter. Halftime came and surely, the madmen in the back couldn’t combine something new to lose this?
After all. Shaqiri was playing a world class game. Palacio scored two goals. Icardi’s movements were right. Inter looked hungry and stood up well. They put up an intensity that I haven’t yet seen in the Serie A this season and showed that they weren’t afraid of Celtic’s fans, stadium or team. The longer the game went, the more it felt as if Inter needed another goal and of course, in the last minute there was another defensive horror that kept Inter from taking a great result with them to the San Siro. The game ended 3-3 and the return leg is wide open.
The only feelings in my body were great anger but also great disappointment. Here we are, being up both 2-0 and 3-2, which would mean having 2/3 positive results to advance to the next round and here we throw it away as if it was a piece of chocolate in a chocolate factory. Giving away wins like this in this way is the utter proof that this team doesn’t have the right mentality to get to the top yet and also that keeps the team prisoner of itself. The mentality is so weak that not even a really mediocre team like Celtic feel like they have anything to lose against Inter.
I am sorry for Palacio who scored two goals and didn’t become a hero, but I’m mostly sorry for Shaqiri who had a perfect night performing like a star only to be betrayed by the clownes that are his defending teammates.
Mancini should learn to sub… seriously…
fucked by injury time specialist.
CAMPAGNARO OUT IMMEDIATELY!!
DO NOT DEFEND SOMEONE WHO CLEARLY HAVE NO ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT…!!!
We better kick some Irish tail back at the San Siro!
Scottish
Our defenders always consistent.
Consistent to make mistake.
Suffering from the classic PMS – Post Mazzarri Syndrome….
“They put up an intensity that I haven’t yet seen in the Serie A this season..” because we face the team that use the open play, not like in Seri A where there’s a lot of player in the third area of the picth. Why you put the phrase sorry to Palacio and Shaq, its ridiculous! Stop drama please.
Celtic gifted inter 2 goals it was an enthralling match the Italians not known for their travelling support added to the atmosphere but it was the celtic fans who came away with the victory I would settle for a terrible game and 0-1 celtic next time
Your sorry Celtic will suffocate at the Guiseppe Meazza. I am sure of it. To score your lone goal, you will have to attack us and that’s where you will get hurt pretty badly.
Only Juan Jesus deserves to play for Inter of our defenders and that is as a reserv, thats being nice….man i miss the days that our defenders weren’t afraid of the ball and could pass 2 meters….hope we Vidic gets back in form so we can get something this season…
Juan’s positioning was also bad tonight.
Well, everyone at the back was bad.
I think Santon is not half-bad actually, too
I disagree with defending thing, i think the draw was due to the loss of midfield battle, as it said by mancini, kuz was out of steam and kovacic didn’t perform well.
I agree with your opinion about Kuz and Kova, but the defenders should be blamed on the last goal as all defenders too focused on the ball and no one marked Guidetti
In my opinion, its because Kov unnecessary move.
Giudetti movement was from the left side cut inside to center field… In that position rano was defending in the center, it should be dodo’s duty to cover the left side… Actually it was rather perception and captain armband.. To become predecessor of zanetti will also become huge weight
I didn’t blame rano specifically, but all defenders and that includes dodo.
I agree with u, Kuz should replace by hernanes. So, we can maintain the possession football.
I can’t stand watching Campagnaro!
somehow for the last couple of years, the defending players never fail to disappoint me!
Very well said. Shaq was exceptional today and Palacio did his best. But those idiots in defense should… actually I dunno what they should do. They threw the game. Ranocchia isn’t getting any better, he’s getting worse and it costs us game after game. Juan is still young and I can understand the mistakes he makes can be due to inexperience, but Ranocchia… and wearing the captain’s armband is a double slap to the face for the fans. And we got Vidic on the bench. I can’t believe it. Campagnaro is on his way out, I don’t care for him. But Vidic has to replace Ranocchia. Captain or not. This can’t continue.
I think the third goal was santon mistake, as he wrong to let go guidetti in “false” offside trap
Look at Ranocchia’s attempt to avert the shot. Turns around and raises a leg. -_-‘ I mean seriously… And the second goal was all on him.
But that is own goal, if you make assumption that was rano mistake, then in the first place, there should even a cross inside in that area..
You took the words out of my mouth. I am fuming at the moment and if I have to voice out my disgust at the horror we call defenders, I will end up cursing some people more than necessary.
Ranocchia should just go! He WILL never be a good defender. I have been saying it for ages, he is the reason why we leak a lot of goals.
I have also stated earlier that our best defensive partnership was Vidic-Andreolli. Away with this Ranocchia thing; he makes me sick to my stomach.
The first goal, he clattered into our keeper – thus preventing the keeper from making a dive to his right for the save. The second goal, when you are 195cm tall and an aerial ball is about to drop in front of you, you don’t just hold off your man – you nod the ball away from your vital zone.
The 3rd goal, just look at his pathetic attempt at stopping the shot, he gave an acre of space to Guidetti for the shot.
Ranocchia is probably the worst defender to have ever played football. I just hope that we don’t renew his damn contract and let him move to some.
santon was moved to the right the time Dodo entered the pitch.
Ok then it dodo’s misjudgment, thank you for correcting me
Maybe we should decide not watch Inter game after we see the lineup and we find Rano there..
Vidic must be so bad at training, so that this clown Ranocchia started and Vidic didn’t..
kovacic should watch sneijder videos and study him how he played
Best comment ever. Amin to that 😀
and it’s really sad that the 3rd Celtic goal was started from wrong tackle by Kovacic
Yes, he should let other player take the ball. He can help by give the pressure on the player.
