Newly signed Inter midfielder Rafinha seem to be far more fit physically than previously thought Italian TV Channel Premium Sport report.
According to the report Inter manager Luciano Spalletti tried playing him in several different positions during today’s training session at Appiano Gentile. The former Barcelona man was played as a central midfielder and as a right winger.
Inter are looking desperate to return to winning ways against SPAL and Premium Sport reports that Danilo D’Ambrosio will start on the left of defence making a return to action following his injury and that Joao Cancelo will go on the right side of Milan Skriniar and Joao Miranda in the middle of defence.
Marcelo Brozovic is expected to play further up the midfield just behind Mauro Icardi whilst Borja Valero and Vecino will surely start behind him further down the middle of the pitch. Antonio Candreva and Ivan Perisic will play on either wing as the Nerazzurri look to wint heir first match of 2018.
Remove candreva I hope he gets injured he’s holding that position ransom
Didn’t Brozovic faild on that position a few times before !!? Or because this is Spal ! We need points man as many as many goals as well look at Lazio what’s happening don’t be surprised if they pass Inter with more goals on the book
I hope Rafinha will be our new Sneijder..
It’s probably going to be more of a 4-3-3 version of our formation , one playmaker ( Valero ) with the 2 box to box on his sides ( Vecino-Brozo) not so much of a Brozo 3/4ista.
Why do I say this ?
Because even if not many people have noticed , (not even people who are supposed to work professionally in football ! , and they didn’t noticed .. even if Spalletti himself said so in an interview !)
.. we already played this way versus Roma ..
The 4-3-3 was very visible.
In the second half ,without Gaglia ,it worked well so I guess Spallo will repeat it.
i miss roma’s game. i hope you’re right. this team is more suitable for 4-3-3 for me. simply because we don’t have a trequartista. but we have many CM.
Yes, there is news now that if we dont´t get Pastore Spalletti might change the formation to 4-3-3 for the rest of the season. But if he now switches to 4-3-3 there is one thing I don´t understand: Why the hell did they let JM go before testing him on the freaking left side of that 4-3-3 which is his position in the national team?
Yeah. Jm n brozo is outstanding in 4-3-3
adi zuta, are you albanian leonard žuta from nk rijeka ? 😉
Imo JM was playing bad intentionally, to earn the transfer and become another team’s starter, in order to go to WC2018
At Inter he had to take the challenge to become a starter and that was out of his boytoy material.
Maybe, I think his biggest downfall is that he is soft. But still I would have liked to see him play in his probably best position, which really didn’t happen here at Inter. He might have been good there if we had had a proper dmc and used 4-3-3 formation.
to see him play in his probably best position, which really didn’t happen here at Inter — typical work of inter “experts” :
they bring a player to inter, than “find him” a new role, the one that doesn’t fit him, than they wait to see “it works” and than comes dissapontment statements that he is a complete failure …
For me attitude is everything, and because of that I’m never gonna see him again with our shirt.
I’m excited to see Rafa in the AMC role. Reports say his physical condition is great and Spalletti said that is his best position. May be we’ll see him against Spal tomorrow
Yes but Brozo and Vecino played further up the pitch when Inter had the ball which looked more like 4-1-4-1. Roma’s deffense was outnumbered which let to them putting a 5th defender, then Dalbert’s and Cancelo’s pace led to Inter’s siege on their goal. If only Eder and Icardi hadn’t missed those chances….
Just get rid of Dalbert. If our RB has to sub in….
he should be playing. it is almost a syndrom at inter … bring in and destroy a player.
He will go to a different club and he is a beast
unfortunately, very likely.
carlos alberto was considered to be an idiot at inter….
Absolutely

not realy convince with d’ambrosio as LB. but i think it’s the best option for now.
He played LB at Torino. Cancelo looks great at RB, so this is probably the best choice unless we play Nagatomo at LB.
i know.. that’s why i said this is the best option for now..
Is Dalbert injured?
nope.. but dalbert is not even an option for spalletti. imagine how bad he’s in training!? even d’ambrosio a RB who just comeback from injuries is become the best option on our LB.. all our LB are seriously bad..
It’s sad. Another flop for Inter. We must have a record or something. Most money spent on flops. We’re competing with Liverpool for that one.
i still hope that dalbert still in learning italian football, and adjust to spalletti’s gameplan.
Actually we can send him back to nice and get cyprien.. he’s good
Dalbert is adjusting and trying to follow coach’s instructions too literally. So much so that he is litting his forward runs and dribbling. Also he must be pretty affraid of making a mistake, especially after what happened to Santon last weekend. I believe he just needs to build back his confidence
Yes we originally got D’ambro as ” our new LB ” , role which he played regularly when he was in Torino and quite a few times also his first season with us.
Betis is going for Nagatomo!!!
And Fenerbache
Losing Nagatomo isn’t something to celebrate though. Dalbert is another wasted $ down the toilet, and Santon sucks big time.
It’s between Naga and D’Ambro to me.
But I have just read in a couple of Inter news Italian site that Betis Seville made an offer to Inter and Nagatomo and both Inter and Naga are seriously considering.
really!? i don’t mind to sell naga and santon.. we’re overload with “non inter material LB”. ^^
Even Fenerbache is looking for him
If that means we’re getting Fabian Ruiz, I’m in. He’s like a Milinkovic-Savic
Ambrosio cant dribble with left foot. So he will disappoint us when go forward. The only guarantee is he wont make stupid mistakes like santon does
ambro is hardly an average player with lots of his limits …
Best option for now would 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 formation i think. With rafinha playing different roles and hoping that Pastore will come (99%sure he will not) will be eaiser for us to create troubles against opponent.
i mean best option for LB position. but i agree with 4-3-3..^^
Can’t wait to see Raf playing
Anyone who knows how to watch Sundays game against SPAL on line later on the same day? Im bizzy at noon that day but would love to see it later in the evening.

Come on bois let’s make 2018 a better year for us let’s grab Champions League spot bois
Yeah..I am still feeling pretty good about it .
And I am still full of hope for the near future , I think we will get even better in the next couple of seasons but only if we start cutting the type of enormous mercato mistakes we made in the last couple of years to a minimum ..
Well I’m more or less sure we will end up inside top 4 but can’t say for sure which spot…
Reason for my optimisim is prety simple,we can talk all we want but in reality we fucked up only 3 maybe 4 games and thouse were against Sassuolo,Udinese,Bologna and Torino and when you think about it we drew against Rube,Napoli,Lazio,Roma and Fiorentina besides maybe Fiorentina i do not think we could have asked for more form theese games since it is Spalletis first season and he didn’t got any big player more like few cheep solutions (Skriniar is great but who could have expected that?)…
So in my opinion we played 14 games against “smaller teams” and we won 10 drew 2 losing only 2, while on the other hand we played 7 games against the strongest teams and we won 2 draw 5 without losses…
Spalleti is doing a good job with the squad he has and with the reinforcments he got,he lost only 2 games in Serie A while being able to get points off from the strongest teams and remain unbeaten in direct confrotations with them as well and realisticly after all we have been through last 7 years we should be really happy with how we are doing atm, we added some deapth to the team in January and if Pastore really does come then top 4 finish is ours…
Also it is obvius our mentality is much better since Spaletti came and that gives me even more belief in top 4 finnish…
Also i would like to add that i think our owners are doing a really good job in making Inter financialy stronger not just throwing their own money in (I love Moratti but he fucked us up in the long run) and i think we have a bright future ahead of us
Cant agree more mate
You got my ‘up”
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Word up! If we get Pastore and everyone stays helathy, we could even get back in the race for the Scudetti. I think Cancelo and Dalbert will get better and better. Vecino is growing as well. OUr opponents should drop points too. Juve have tough games in UCL and coppa and they’ll prioritise the UCL this year. Napoli will also have games in Europe and they have a thin squad so they’ll be pretty tired by May. Forza Inter!
and Roma..slowly destroying themself by selling their top players
Yes, please…
