MILAN - ABU DHABI: FLYING AGAINST TIME
Check up: The conditions of Benitez's 18.
Leaving today. For Wednesday in doubts are Milito, Julio Cesar and Maicon.
The problem remains the general condition. Motta: "If we win, everything will change."
Appiano Gentile - All better, but with the CWC is coming close, the general condition is the same as the conditions of Julio Cesar, Maicon and Diego Milito which means that it is still not certain, especially for the semifinal on Wednesday.
Practice match for Milito Diego Milito is getting better day by day. Yesterday he also played in a practice match which was the last training session in Italy. But you have to use every caution because not only Milito hasn't played from the derby on the 14th of November but he is also recovering from a double recurrence. The CWC is also the mother of all battles but the risk of losing the striker for another month is present in everyone's head. Inter will also have to evaluate the evolution of the heat in Abu Dhabi, with the idea of him from the bench to start the semifinal round, hoping that we can win and get to the final with him which is much safer for his injury.
The Brazilians Similar stories for the two Brazilians. Julio Cesar has been working on the field for a few days now, but also like Milito he had a relapse of muscle problem that had him stopped since October 29 in Genoa. For him there is the bench for Wednesday and with his ability to grow each day, he will be between the posts for the eventual final. Maicon also practiced yesterday. He's been out since November 6 and he is the most advanced of the three. He should be able to make it on the 15th and that is for sure. For now there is optimism from Zanetti: "The injured players are making a huge effort to be there and I think that almost everyone is available."
Others well Different training session for Chivu and Materazzi. But everyone, including Lucio, Stankovic and Sneijder, as a precautionary measure didn't play in Bremen, will be present. Although their general condition will not be at the top.
Charged up Motta But Motta has a little something something. "I, myself, am not at the best but we will give everything because this opportunity may not come again. If we win the CWC, our season can change. Also for the Scudetto which can change at the end."
