Inter - Bayern Munich (27 Sep 06)

[M.Adnan]

I can't believe this. From what I read in inter.it, Moratti doesn't care about about the Champions League!

What kind a club are we?

Since when the Champions League is less important than Serie A?

Champions League is more important to me than Serie A. It reflects our image! the whole world watches us. Do you have any idea how embarrassing it was to me on wednesday? Do they know that we face the best teams in Europe in Champions League, not some Romas or punished Milans.

Even if we won Serie A this season, it's still not as good as winning the CL. We're not the best club if we focus only on a league, where the best team there is Roma.

What do they mean by getting a draw from Bayern on our stadium? One point is enough? wtf?

I'm telling if this our club's mentality, then we will not qualify and we will not play in UEFA cup. We will be 4th in our group.

European teams can laugh on us then, saying to us: "You're not good enough in play Uefa Cup, go and try to win a feckless Serie A, with no Juve, a punished Milan and your best competitor is Roma".

Winning Serie A this season is fundamental, only because we have to prove to the world that we deserved our 2005-2006 Scudetto (and we did). The real scudetto comes next season.

But please don't exaggerate by saying Serie A this season is more important than the CL.

Both Serie A and Champions League are important. Even Coppa Italia should be won by us this season.

Mentality of losers.

"The Champions League is still a target so we will have to try and continue

Still a target? why not is a target?

Regardless of yesterday's result, if you had to choose would you prefer the championship to the Champions League?
"At the start of this season I favoured the championship but only out of respect for that blessed Scudetto that they wanted to put on our shirts, and out of respect for our fans."

wtf?

I hope the players think about doing well in both competitions, not just in one."

You hope? THEY HAVE TO.

A very important match. It is important to get points. To get three would be decisive, although one could be enough.

wtf?

The goal might come later

Losers mentality.

If we are in a crisis, struggling and need the 3 points badly, we will win.

If we need only a draw in Munich, and we're 1st in Serie A, we will lose.

I learned those typical Inter stuff by time.

Great article from Gabriele Marcotti

A study in contrasts
Bayern, Inter couldn't be more dissimilar in approach

One club is the table-topping overwhelming favorite in Serie A, home of the world champions (well, most of them anyway). It's a club that spends heavily year after year and this summer spent more than any other non-Abramovich backed team in Europe.

It added to its already impressive lineup, bringing in two guys who started in the World Cup final last June and an outstanding Brazilian fullback, plus two highly rated strikers. One is the center forward for Argentina, a man who has regularly scored goals in Serie A and the English Premiership. The other is an inconstant but hugely gifted forward who was instrumental in leading Juventus to the Italian crown the past two seasons.

The other club also tops the table in its league, although it's a country whose game -- despite booming in terms of attendances -- has struggled in terms of results over the past few seasons.

It's a club with a glorious history, which struggles to compete financially (in fact, its TV revenues are about half of the first club's). That's part of the reason why its marquee player left on a Bosman transfer to join Chelsea over the summer, its highly rated holding midfielder (who is now injured anyway) attempted to engineer a move to Manchester United and its top transfer target joined Real Madrid instead.

In fact, over the summer, the only significant arrivals were a talented (if raw) German forward, a big Belgian central defender and a Dutch midfielder who was surplus to requirements at Barcelona.

By this point, unless you're really new to this sport, you've probably figured out who we're talking about. Well, guess who won when they played each other on Wednesday night?

Bayern Munich came away with a 2-0 victory over Inter Milan. But what struck me as I watched the game unfold at the San Siro wasn't so much that Bayern played better -- had Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Hernán Crespo not fluffed their chances, the game could have taken a different turn -- it was just how different the philosophy and management styles of the clubs really are.

Inter is a wealthy club bankrolled by owner Massimo Moratti, which enables it to sign some of the best players around. The flip side of course is that, over the past 15 years, it has shown about as much foresight as a guy who paddles a rowboat in the direction of a hurricane.

Couple that with a seeming inability to correctly evaluate talent (this is, after all, the club which axed Roberto Carlos back in 1996 and has had some 30-odd left backs since), a penchant for making rash decisions (Marcello Lippi, Hector Cuper and Gigi Simoni were all famously sacked less than 10 games into the season) and a general instability and insecurity and you go some way toward explaining just why it hasn't won a title (on the pitch, forget the one it was handed by the courts last summer) since 1989.

Not coincidentally, Inter's official club song features the line Amala! Pazza Inter, amala!, which means, "Love her! Love that crazy Inter!" It sounds like a demented order from some cult leader: Inter fans know that their club is "crazy" and yet, cursed by their football allegiance, they nevertheless soldier on, hoping in vain for a brighter future.

Contrast this with Bayern. Yes, it dominates German soccer, cherry-picking the best players from other clubs, but that's not much in the way of consolation. It's like being told you can walk into a Hyundai dealership and have any car you like while knowing that your competition on the big stage is driving Ferraris. And Bayern can't afford the Ferraris anyway -- the last marquee player it bought from La Liga, Serie A or the Premiership was Roy Makaay three years ago.

So instead, Bayern mastered the art of building long-term stability. It rarely makes more than two or three significant signings a year (Lukas Podolski, Daniel van Buyten and Mark van Bommel this summer, Philip Lahm and Valerien Ismael the year before, Lúcio and Torsten Frings the year before that).

At the same time, it integrates youngsters as they come through the youth ranks -- witness Bastian Schweinsteiger and Andreas Ottl -- all the while not allowing itself to be pushed around in the transfer market, as evidenced by its refusal to sell Owen Hargreaves and the fact that, this time last year, there were as many as 10 players due to go out of contract at the end of the season.

In short, Bayern is run properly, while Inter ... well, let's just say it could be better. Much better. Wednesday night proved, once again, that what happens upstairs heavily impacts events on training ground. Taken as individuals, the only Bayern players who could make the Inter lineup are Lúcio and, arguably, Lahm and Oliver Kahn. Yet, taken as a team, it's a different story.

This doesn't mean Bayern is necessarily better. It does mean however that, if and when Bayern gets knocked out of the Champions League, it will most likely be because it was beaten by a better opponent. On the other hand, Inter -- as it did on Wednesday, when it finished with nine men -- will most likely have beaten itself.

[Michal]

Off topic: Juve are looking good.

If you are from Munich say hello to our legend Karl-Heinz Rummenigge

 

[Pravesh]

Think the wrong club went to serie B! What do you think?

So the team which plays bad football should indeed be punished. An interesting theory you got mate.

Off topic: Juve are looking good.

Yeah, they are playing in Serie B with quite a good squad.

[Marcello]

Can you go to A Bayern forum and celebrated the only win against inter you will ever get

hurry before next round before you start crying

 

[Suneet]

A Jubentino? eh..........Yeah ok. Im talking about football as a whole and we in Germany think that Juve was very treated not good. And AcMilan got away with so much too. But all your club do is moan and moan all the time. Guido Rossi man handled the whole juventus saga just Inter can try to win the league. It is corruption at its best. Im not a fan of Jube as you call it but i really dont understand why they got punished so badly when it was influenced by the powers of morratti and rossi. Now things will bit you on the bum. De Santis will reveal all and you WILL be punished.

Man, you should post everyday Im frustrated. I love listening to kid-talk,crap talk.
Jube got punished because Moggi cheated. Its done over with, its them who are MOANING now. De Santis probably didnt receive his commission for a game. This is just frustration.

I know this is adult talk again, so you wont understand it. I love your crap posts,so keep coming back and posting shit. :joker:
