Reggina - Inter (Coppa Italia) (19 Dec 07)

[golazo]

I care alot about winning the Coppa Italia and would love for us to win a treble. I don't think any Italian side has ever done this.

I would second that--a treble winning team would be priceless. My philosophy for winning in three fronts is that you should play your best more than you speculate. Not to say that the best at this moment aren't some of the youngsters, but I reckon it's not ALL of the youngsters at once. Good thing is that we have the depth to do this--this is where Inter is above an beyond even the great Euro teams right now, we have depth!

 

[Gasparroni]

The team thats called up:

Keepers: 22 Paolo Orlandoni, 71 Enrico Alfonso;

Defenders: 16 Nicolas Burdisso, 23 Marco Materazzi, 24 Nelson Rivas, 25 Walter Samuel, 35 Dennis Esposito, 40 Ivan Fatic, 47 Marco Filippini;

Mitfielders: 21 Santiago Solari, 30 Pelè, 31 Cesar, 37 Gabriele Puccio, 42 Ibrahim Maaroufi, 43 Daniele Pedrelli;

Strikers: 18 Hernan Crespo, 45 Mario Balotelli, 46 Aiman Napoli, 48 Alberto Gerbo.

I think this will be the line up:

-------------Orlandoni-----------------
Esposito---Rivas---Materazzi---Burdisso
Pelè-----Maaroufi-----Puccio-----Cesar
---------Napoli----Balotelli-------------

This would be great, i would love to see this atack!! Napoli and Balotelli are the best strikers in our youth, they can score more then anyone.....

 

[alvaro]

Mancio already gave the lineup.

Mancini: oggi ci dà la formazione in vista della partita di domani contro la Reggina?
"Orlandoni in porta; Rivas, Materazzi, Samuel e Fatic in difesa; Solari, Pelé, Burdisso e Cesar a centrocampo; Crespo e Balotelli in attacco"

Also, what a great way it would be to celebrate 100 years!

I think it's gonna be:

Orlandoni
Burdisso - Rivas - Matrix - Fillipini
Solari - Pele - Maaroufi - Cear
Crespo - Balotelli

----------Orlandoni---------
Rivas-Materazzi-Samuel-Fatic
Solari--Burdisso-Pelé---Cesár
-------Crespo--Balotelli-----

Mancinis confirmed starting lineup.

 

[Tanel]

That's brilliant called up list. Definitely amazing chance for some players to prove their worth. And bench will consist only of Primavera so we'll see 3 more youth players as addition to Balotelli and Fatic (+ Pele)

 

[Sassuolu]

Come on Crespo this is the game where you wake up from the dead... I hope the [pitch will be in good condition anyone remember the last time we played the ball couldn't even be moved around.

 

[Ronald]

Balotelli is gonna play a full game, this is awsome! this guy is a future superstar, I hope I can see him tomorrow, and hopefully he'll score!

 

[VLE]

I think this match will decide our defense line. If Samuel - Materazzi partnership fails again, I don't see them partnering each other ever again.

I think this match will decide our defense line. If Samuel - Materazzi partnership fails again, I don't see them partnering each other ever again.

I was gonna say this too. In fact, that is the only reason I can think of why Mancini decide to field Samuel ahead of the derby

 

[Nyall]

----------Orlandoni---------
Rivas-Materazzi-Samuel-Fatic
Solari--Burdisso-Pelé---Cesár
-------Crespo--Balotelli-----

Mancinis confirmed starting lineup.

Not bad we should win.

 

[lonewolf19]

as many have pointed out too, hope Crespo get his form back before Derby. He could be decisive

 

[darsez]

I think this match will decide our defense line. If Samuel - Materazzi partnership fails again, I don't see them partnering each other ever again.

Good observation. I was wondering why Samuel has to play in Coppa. Let's hope it works. I prefer Samuel-Matrix much more to Cordoba-Matrix or Samuel-Cordoba.

 

[mexican_azzurri]

And bolzoni, mancio? come on!....i like that the most part of the team be primavera's, thats good for them, i hope that Inter win maybe without a beautiful match but i dont care...

 

[bennyblanco]

im happy that Fillipini is with the squad...i honestly believe that this young man will eventually become a first team player...along with Filkor my fav young gun ...maybe gets some minutes against Reggina :star:

 

[lonewolf19]

why is Goran not called up?? He could have been used in this match...

 

[VLE]

Goran Slavkovski is looking for clubs to be loaned out in January, some including outside of Italy clubs.

Therefore, it would be right to give chance to others who could be used after the winter break if another injury crisis comes.

 

[M.Adnan]

Both Samuel and Materazzi starting this game? I wonder what is Mancini preparing for the derby.

This makes me think that we'll see Matrix against the BB Merda. Samuel already played 90 minutes in Cagliari, so why would he play 3 full games in one week?

We know that Materazzi is ready to play full 90 minutes, but looking at the kind of strikers Milan have, I think that Marco will start the derby. It could be a tactical desicion, nothing else.

Anyway, good luck to both of them.

 

[Pico32]

I'd like to see Maarouffi in the beginning of the second half, IMO he is better than Bolzoni and Pele.
