Roma - Inter (Coppa Italia) (24 May 08)

[Suneet]

Suazo-SuperMairo, Ibra on the bench.

 

[alvaro]

We might win this, both Cruz and Materazzi banned. \o/

 

[Karim]

My first eleven would be:

Toldo
Maicon, Rivas, Burdisso , Chivu if fit
Zanetti, Pele, Jiminez, Vieira
Suazo, Super Mario

 

[Karim]

OH
This is a one leg final, in Olimpico right?

Yup, extra time and penalties will decide it... mostly:stuckup:

Cesar

Maicon
Rivas
Chivu
Maxwell

Pele (Maniche)
Vieira
Jimenez
Stankovic

Crespo (Ibra)
Balotelli

.... Maniche can play, cant he ?

 

[Alex de Large]

If Zanetti don't play, who is the captain? Cordoba/Matrix/Toldo/Adriano don't play, it would be curious who is the captain and lift the coppa, i would bench Cruz too so it would be even more curious.

 

[lonewolf19]

i would bench Cruz too so it would be even more curious.

Cruz is banned anyway. Perhaps Cambiasso if he plays.
Otherwise I think it will go to Stankovic

 

[Alex de Large]

Cambiasso is injured, well, bench Stankovic also.
Vieira-Pele-Jimenez-and someone else in the midfield, maybe we see Maicon as a captain, that would be hilarious

 

[rockball]

Crespo should be played in this one. If Mancio doesn't trust Jimenez, I would like to see an attacking trident of Suazo-Crespo-Balotelli. Something different for a change.

 

[Choppin Onions]

Methinks Roma are gonna destroy us. They're pissed while our players will probably approach the game with a relaxed attitude. Still, it'd be pretty sweet to rub salt in their wounds by winning Coppa Italia in front of their own fans

 

[rockball]

It will be a close one this time. No second leg so the players know this is where they have to give it their all.

I feel our players would be motivated because of all that Pizarro and De Rossi said and those things would also have distracted Roma.

Hope its the last game for Mancio with us.

 

[Ilkinio]

Hope to see really attacking football from Mancini.. It's the last time.. I want to see sparks!

 

[1919]

Really dont see any options in Defense. We will have to play Burdisso.

JC
Maicon - Burdisso - Rivas - Maxwell
Viera - JZ - Maniche
Ibra
Balotelli - Suazo

​

 

[Ilkinio]

JC
Maicon - Burdisso - Rivas - Maxwell
Viera - JZ - Pele
Balotelli - Ibra
Crespo

Initially I didn't really care much about this game. I mean, we got the Scudetto. If it was AS Roma like it used to, I'd say, yeah, let them have it. The only trophy left, consider us giving charity.

Butttt...after everything that Tottina, DeRossi, Mexes, etc said...gggrrrr...no way we're letting them win. I'd really love to see their faces when we swing the Cup in front of them :stuckup:

The question is, will the players have the same mindset? Or like BrAD said, they'd be relaxed instead? I'm confident the attitude & mental state of both teams will be the most determining factor of who to win here.

Ok guys now that the celebrations for our scudetto are over we have to concentrate on this very special match..
Season isn't over yet..

I have already said and I'll repeat it again that a clear victory against rometa would be the best reply to all their player's offensive comments..

A great chance to humiliate them in front of their own fans and prove in the most emphatic way our superiority over them this season..
2 winds over rometa at their home ground can convince everyone that Inter was the best side in Italy this year..

What I liked most from the previous week was the fact that our players stopped all the media declarations,and with their heads down they worked hard and won the title..
This is what I want to see once again and although I understand Moratti's happiness,declations like "send the young team to face Roma" can only cause trouble and exaggerate our opponents anger a lot more..

We have to approach this match with a winning mentality and show great passion for this trophy with respect to the other team..


I expect this formation for Saturday's match:

-----------Toldo-----------
-Maicon--Burdisso--Rivas--Maxwell--
---Zanetti---Pele---Vieira(Maniche)
----------Jimenez---------
-----Suazo-------Crespo

If we manage to win just imagine the expressions on the faces of De Rossi,Mexes and Tottinha..

 

[rockball]

Pele will surely feature. Maybe Bolzoni too and Balotelli.

 

[8ballmjg]

Why isn´t zanetti called up?
