Emirates Cup (28 - 29 Jul 07)

[Hussein]

I can't understand why some people are whinning!!

For god sake it's a friendly game!! The team is supposed to use these games to gain some match fitness and try out some new tactics!!

 

[alvaro]

Avocado Cesar was better than Figo today.

Adriano won't score those 20 goals he said he's targeting from a DM (wtf?) position.

Jimenez didn't get the balls and was lost for the time (20min) he was on the pitch.

The right back Filippini is a joke.

Cruz should be banned from starting a game, supersub or nothing.

The ****ing groin thing is still giving Zlatan (our most important striker by far) some pain?

Losing my mind with the streams.

 

[Choppin Onions]

Eh, not a big deal. The team Valencia fielded compared to us was vastly superior. No need to blow a fuse on a friendly.

 

[Stefan]

Game ended 2 – 0 for Valencia. Valencia are now leading the table with 5 points.
It was a better sec half from us mainly because we fielded few more experienced players. That said we didn’t create too many scoring chances. Cruz had our best chances through out the game, however he obviously was lacking the sharpness and the touch to convert them.
Adri as the commentator even said is still looking bulky and needs to lose few more kilos. Further more it is yet again frustrating seeing him acting like a LW player mainly round about mid half left side of the pitch.
Suazo looked pretty decent and dangerous every time he got the ball - though obviously it will take him some time to be able to connect with our other forwards. Shame to see Ibra getting injured as I wanted to see the partnership between the 2 of them.

Crespo will again will be vital to season as he is the only clinical finisher in our squad. None of the rest of forward line-up is capable of what Crespo can do in the penalty box.

I’ll be in the stadium seeing our sec game against Arsenal tomorrow, hoping for a better overall game from our players.

I don't think Ibra got injured. I think Mancini planned to only play him 35 minutes just like vs partizan.

They were just saying on the tv that the winning team gets 3 points - a draw 1 point and also you get 1 point for each goal that you score obviously encouraging an attacking football.

Stolen from the Amsterdam Tournament :S...

 

[M.Adnan]

I've seen Ivan Fatic for the third time this summer, and everytime he's doing better. :star:

The team needs more time, and more starting players (Zanetti, Crespo, Maicon..)

 

[Wallace]

can't believe people are still blasting adri...he played hard today...fought for balls, passed the ball, looked for teammates e.t.c and it is still not enough...

Forza Adriano! :wallbang:

 

[golazo]

from reading all your posts, it is clear u don't like adriano...
they guy played a good game today AND FOLLOWED THE COACHES INSTRUCTIONS...
if you didn't realize, we were playing a 3-4-3 in the 2nd half, with cruz central and suazo and adri both wide....with suazo and cruz not coming back enough to link to the midfield, adri had to be the one to do it..

suazo looked decent?? lol...he was okay....one or tow runs in a game doesn't constitute playing decent....his passes were off and he dived at least 4 times and lost the ball...he had a decent opportunity on his left and blasted it wide...

can't believe people are still blasting adri...he played hard today...fought for balls, passed the ball, looked for teammates e.t.c and it is still not enough...

edit: worst players were cesar A, toldo, figo and jimenez (totally clueless and absent)

You say this as if it is worthy of admiration. A professional player, and moreover a professional as highly regarded as Adriano, is supposed to do this. Seems to me he is getting praised for things that he is supposed to do and not for things that are extraordinary.

Another thing he is supposed to do, is be fit. He is far, far, far from it. It still isn't enough sorry, I expect much more than for him to pass the ball and look for teammates.

Nonetheless, remember this: I am not knocking Adriano, I think he is a very key member of this team at the very least, however, I find that the type of coddling suggested above is a bit too much for a professional making millions.

Still, I wish Adriano would get back on track, he is much too talented not to.

Why are people upset about losing to valencia?

Valencia are a better team and has better players than we do, we needed to reinforce our starting 11 in this break, but we didnt. we decided to stick with the inconsistent midtfield and it backfired....

player like stankovic and cambiasso would be fringe players at any other big club.... hilarious how inter settle for 5th best still, despite failing big time on the market for so many year the management has learned nothing.

christ ppl like this genuinely represent stupidity and nothing else.

anyway, valencia played with all starting material players unlike us and are 26 days ahead of us in preparation terms.

even if u exclude those facts, last season we barely won a pre season game and look how the season turned out, even moreso, the season before that we won just about every pre season game and stuffed the season up.

it means nothing.

WTF. Bad GRAMMER. Dirty Mouth. In Australia? Umm WTF. :doh:

 

[J zanetti]

I don't think Ibra got injured. I think Mancini planned to only play him 35 minutes just like vs partizan.

That's true... however few minutes before he went off he tried to do some fancy footwork with the ball and failed and walked a bit funny for a while looking a bit worried, so when few minutes later he came off both myself and the commentator thought he perhaps injured himself. I’m glad that wasn’t the case…

 

[bennyblanco]

whats wrong with it professor???:glasses:

 

[snake]

Our season is over, we may aswell not even start 07/08.

Alvaro, your a fool.

for some time actually i thought Azzkikr had a point in some of his posts, indeed it was said in direct way sometimes even to direct, but with this post i definitely concluded that he hasnt got a single clue about Inter and every single post he makes is pure bashing, man, i watched almost every Inter game last year and only clueless person can say such thing, if u ever managed to understand football in more deep way than Ronaldinho / Joga bonito and that stuff, you would see that indeed stankovic is very good at type of game that mancini puts him to, and cambiasso definitely isnt some kind of fringe player but a very intelligent CM that im proud to have in my team, so with all due respect Azzkikr you have proved that you know little about football in real sense and from now on i won't give any attention to your posts as probably many people on these forum are doing the same

 

[Interista_Australiano]

Okay, so how does this tournament work? We've lost to Valencia 2-0 and we're playing Arsenal tonight. Can we still lift that trophy? What hapepens now?

 

[nerazzurri4ever]

i don't know the final resault of psg and arsenal but the winner gets 3 points + one point for each goal so the valencia bitches now have 5 points

 

[lonewolf19]

I dont mind about lifting the trophy or anything
I think it was a good experinment fielding we have
trying out 3 strikers and stuff
Looking at the lineup I think Valencia field a bunch of first team compare to us and they are also much ahead in terms of fitness preparation (2 weeks I believe)
So guys stop getting upset about losing 2-0 to Valencia, I know we all wanna win after what happened in Champ League.

 

[uny_arturo]

Let's ignore Azzkikr.....

I guess the strikers pair tonight will be Adri+Suazo. Those who played as a substitute yesterday will in turn be the starters. So the line-up may look like:

----------Adriano-----------Suazo--------------
---Solari------Dacourt-----Filkor-----Jimenez----
--Maxwell----Materazzi------Factic----Filipini----
--------------------J.Cesar---------------------
