Well oh well ... what a game played by us - PATHETIC
We sucked like hell in the first half. Pizarro was one of the worst player, but that doesn't mean that Veron should be played all the time. Everyone have their bad days, so was the case with Cambiasso. Credit should be given to the Juventus central midfield duo who totally controlled the midfield battle. We didn't work as a team, whereas Juventus did.
And why the hell did we foul them right near the box for god sake ?? Sooner or later they would have scored from those free-kicks. Samuel could have avoided the foul from which Nedved scored their second goal. We gave them so many free-kicks from those danger places, yet we were making so many fouls there.
It was an embarassing first half to watch, we didn't seem to have the desire to play at all.
Nonetheless, I was impressed with Figo's game who was really doing his best. His good performance would had been noticed and would have been GREAT had he got full support from the other players as well. I was really dissappointed to see Figo make way for Recoba, as I had thought that he could had been more decisive. But may be he didn't have the energy to continue, or Mancini didn't want to sub out Pizarro/Stankovic at that moment.
I also think that, now it's time to play the Cordoba -- Samuel duo in the middle and let Ze Maria or Burdisso play in the right back position. Didn't mean to say that Matrix was bad, but that in my opinion would be the best solution for us.
Too bad that we have already lost to 2 good teams at this stage of the season, but it's a long season and we should be hopeful. Palermo - Juventus, lets hope that we won't be showing this colour of ours again and again against quality opponents.
Another notable performance to be pointed should be of Recoba, as he was in fine form and seemed to be able to do anything he wanted. Obviously, the game was in a different stage when he came in; yet he showed that he was in good form.
Too bad we lost to Juventus after sometime, but lets hope that we will recover the lost points from the upcoming games.
And again I would like to say that I don't regret for us having to use Pizarro. It was not only him, but almost the whole team who had a pathetic game. Too bad, that they chose a wrong time to perform this bad !!
Forza Inter and Adriano - it's really time to score again .... :boxing:
