Inter - Milan (15 Feb 09)
- Thread starter Alessandro
- Start date
Intense second half. Especially the last 15 minutes when we tried to close down the shop, i hate when we do that, got some stupid yellow in the progress.
We really should have finished it, but Abbiati had some great saves.
3 players stood out tonight, all Brazillians - Cesar, Adriano and Pato what an incredible talent.
Adriano was great considering its his first time in a while. His ballcontrol was superb, but he should have scored atleast one more goal.
Cesar saved our ass more than once tonight, incredible performance. He seems back to his best now, absolutely outstanding.

Anyways, even though I'm happy about the win, we need to learn how to hold on to 2 goal leads.

Hi everyone, only had the chance to see the second half but we did superbly, a bit poor defending against Ronaldinho's passes and Pato's runs, but we were in no doubts the strongest side.
Milan has a poor defence versus 2 attacking forwards and we took advantage of that tonight. Adriano had 2 clear chances for finishing the game had he scored we would now be celebrating a perfect game.
As I was watching the final moments of the game I kept thinking if there's justice in football we would win. From what I saw Milan never looked scary and only the setup that led to the goal was a show of good football.
Great Match, and FORZA INTER!!!

10 years of FIFDamn, this Pato dude is quick, and fast. Best player in Milan today.
What we lacked in the second half was the determination. I think around 70 minute or so, something close to the third goal, they all thought it's game over. After that they didn't recover. Milan wanted to score another goal, we wanted to finish the game. That was pretty much the scenario from that moment on.
It can't be like that versus Man Utd.
In our team Adriano probably the best player, although those chances he had, he should bagged them, at least the one in the second half.
I would give the mom to Julio, he was amazing in couple of situations.
ps. Also note, that Milan didn't have any free-kicks at all near penalty area.

Great game! Now we can be on cruise control for a couple of matches and feel absolutely secure in the scudetto.
All of our players did great. Adriano did some great things today and looked better than I have seen him in years. Hopefully he keeps this up so he's fired up for Manchester. He also did some not so great things. Like if he's gonna take that sitter that he missed he better score it because Ibra could and should of had an easy tap in goal. But all in all he did great anyway.
Ibra played a great second half, probably our best outfield player in the second and created some most of our chances, had a great finish that Abbiati did well to save, and linked up and played target like a total pro. Could of had a goal or two if Adriano wasn't so selfish.
Julio Cesar was the MOM. It was a long time ago since I saw a goalkeeper be this dominant in a big match. Absolutely flawless and he can now consider himself one of the best goalkeepers in the World, if not the best.
Great performance and Mourinho got his tactics down perfectly. Credit goes to him for preparing our players and I can't wait to hear his match comments.

Forum SupporterMuntari deserves a mention as well... He held his composure and didn't do any stupid tackles... Santon was also brilliant.

10 years of FIFChannel 4 write up is pathetic.
"Inter took the lead against the run of play, as a Maicon cross swept into the six-yard box for Adriano to tap in. However, replays show he clearly turned the ball in with his arm after a slight ricochet off his head! L'Imperatore seemed to mistime his jump and the ball dipped on to the crook of his elbow to bounce past Abbiati, as the header was seemingly going off target. Last week in the 1-1 draw with Reggina, Seedorf had a similar goal disallowed."
