Roma - Inter

[minterke]

Two things will be very interesting before the match, who will partner Cordoba...Burdisso or Materazzi?...honestly, no bias, I think it has to be Burdisso because Roma play one striker- Montella, now hes not really a big fella now is he? you could say Cordoba can take him, perhaps, but a edgy Burdisso type defender is needed to cut down the likes of Taddei and Mancini, if Nonda started, I'd be in favour of Matrix, but at the moment no.

Also, if Figo is out, who will be our flankers?...anyone but Cesar please, i know it wont be solari, wouldnt mind some ze Maria in this.

Yeah especially if Cruz is starting. He sends in alot of crosses and alot of good ones too.

 

[M.Adnan]

why not Zanetti on the left , and Burdisso on the right ?
cuz we can't play Za Maria as a RB again , plz learn your lesson from Palermo

anyway , I expect that Mancini won't do anything new .. still Zanetti as Rb , Burdisso as LB

I prefer to have Zanetti playing on whatever flank Mancini is on.

so many people in this forum are predicting we are gona sh!t all over em, makes u wonder....

 

[il magnifico]

we are a better team than roma. i dont think that we'll kill them, theyre on an incredible role right now, but i think we'll walk away with 3 pts.

 

[Choppin Onions]

And I forgot something. Oh, yeah, the Primavera is a answer to a question where should we get our Italians from. Not Palermo or Fiorentina or whatever else.

There we get our hungry players. The greatest players have come through the young ranks. They are fans of ours, they have the passion to play. I've heard that one Primavera player who got into first team for some time and scored his first goal and cried after that. That's a passion we don't found from Lazio or Argentina. Most of those players didn't choose the Inter Primavera just because they had to go somewhere to play.

Great post. :star: I don't expect a lineup of players from our youth system but it'd be nice to see them given a chance like Roma who has several born and bred Romanisti (Totti, De Rossi and Bovo come to mind)

Andreolli, Momente and Dellafiore are all ready to make a contribution. I know there's alot of pressure to win but we might not always have the backing of Moratti and may need to rely more on our youth sector in the future.

I see this game more for players to step up, Solari and Pizarro. If those two do well in this game, their fortunes are definitely going to change. I hope Figo will be on the bench, and Solari on the left, Stan on the right, Pizarro in the middle along with Cuchu.

 

[catanha]

Tanel you make some good points mate, I do agree that Inter need to give the likes of Andreoli, Delliafiore some goes, but I don't think Momente is up the mark yet. Look at Aquillani for Roma, he played some matches for their first team last season and was pretty average, then with confidence and time, he is becoming a very good player, Inter need to take a risk.

You make good points, but I disagree regarding Burdisso. I think he hasn't done much wrong @ Inter, other than his first 5 minutes and some of his poor minutes whilst playing at left back, he has been a rock. I remember his game against Rangers in Glasgow, he proved to me that day that he was Inter standard, playing with a second eleven, one of the most intimidating stadiums in the world and a determined Rangers team, he was holding the defence. He is a very good defender, although I'd love to see some Italian defenders (Barzagli) at Inter, at the moment, a player like Burdisso needs some more goes at centre back. As I said before, if Nonda starts, play Matrix, if Montella starts, gotta play Burdisso.

Hopefully Favalli plays this game also, when he is out, it shows how badly we need him, he might not be the prettiest and most fancy, but we sure do need him!

 

[forzainternazionale]

i feel that if recoba is fit then its a choice between him and martins to start with cruz. Cruz has definately earned himself the right to start against roma and it would surprise me to see him benched. i also hope figo is ready to go as i would have him pizzaro, cambiasso and stankovic in the midfield. Veron may be chosen ahead of pizzaro though if hes fit, right?

 

[Franco]

i don't think we should bench Figo. He's been one of our best players in the last games. And this aint an easy match. I agree about the youth players but not for this game. I hope Recoba and Favalli are fir for thise game. No more Burdisso as a LB PLEASE!! He might be a decent CD (not even close to materazzi if you ask me) but he sucks as a LB

So my team would be something like this

--------------Toldo
Capitano-Cordoba-Materazzi-Favalli
------------Cambiasso
-------------Pizarro
--Figo-------------------Stankovic/Solari
---------Cruz-------Recoba

These eleven guys will crush roma! !

 

[supertotti]

I must applaud you lots confidence, but crush us, dismantle us? This is a team thats won 11 Serie A games on the spin and hasnt conceded a Serie A goal for 3 matches.

It will be a great game for sure, neither side will keep a clean sheet but i favour the momentum Roma currently has to see us through.

 

[Wallace]

you guys sure Figo can start?

nah, I'd say we're just trying to make ourselves believe we're gonna crush you, there is no way of destroying that current Roma defence, Mexes and Chivu is arguably the strongest central partnership in world futebol at this current moment of time, and this includes the likes of Terry and Carvalho.
I've been very impressed with Mexes, although he looks like a mamasita, he sure doesn't play like one. Very, very good defender!

 

[1919]

We have to score against Roma to win, bcoz i am pretty sure they will score atleast once.

and we need Favalli back, desperately. Kinda sad, but true.

From inter.it's Bordo Campo interview with Mancini:

• Next Sunday evening Inter face Roma, who have won eleven consecutive league matches. Now that Montella and Totti are out, has something changed in the way Roma play?
  "Totti and Montella are clearly two players with different characteristic. Totti is good at not giving away reference points and at setting up goals for his team-mates, Montella doesn't have the same qualities but can be lethal in the penalty area. Roma's strength, however, is that they score with many different players."

So maybe Nonda will start? Not too sure about his physical condition though. But if he is to start, then Matrix it is. I haven't seen much of Nonda but I believe he's a very physical player than suits Matrix more than Burdisso.

As for playing youngsters in Inter, all I need to remind you is to take a look at how long does it take for Roma to groom up the likes of Aquilani, De Rossi, etc. De Rossi impressed in the first few months of his debut but had a relatively quite year after that. Aquilani only impressed during his Triestina loan career and looked a pale shadow of that player in his first few months in Roma. Take a look at Roma's season in 04/05 and their first few months this season too.

And THEN, take a look at our treatment to our current 2 most promising youngsters, Adriano & Martins. Just a few months of bad form and we all want their head chopped. Worse, we were at least, somehow someway, chasing for the title when Roma is struggling. Sorry but I am very skeptical that most Interisti will give our youngsters the time of around a season for them to mature.

Great observation Catanha...i agree a 100%, Mexes has been in outstanding form and very solid. Hes settled.

I thought I never really said that Burdisso is like piece of crap. He hasn't done much wrong yes, ubt he hasn't really done anything match saving either. It comes with experience though and he is talented, but Matrix, Samuel, Cordoba can save matches for us in defence. Burdisso has got some time now and I'm sure he will learn from his mistakes, but when I'd have to choose between him and Matrix at their current abilities, then I'd choose Materazzi. To be honoust, going back in time, I didn't have much feeling for Matrix, but I learned to see how he fights in the pitch and what a great person he really is with the things he does off-pitch. I seriously hope that Burdisso would turn into great player and he's got the talent, but I'd be more happy on his developement when he would have been here since he was a teenager.

Andreolli, Dellafiore, Momente (and Potenza, Marino so on) - we should stick and use them over the time. I was very very happy when Dellafiore went on loan to Treviso and he proved himself there. Now, when our current defense line starts to old, we should not panically try every possible transfer market possibility, the management should be sent to few Primavera games. There the future lays. Buying "world-class" players from South-America has not worked. It's time to move back to the old times, maybe (or more like "sure") it works. I'm not saying we should transform all our Primavera to first team in just one summer. We should slowly start to get them into first team one by one. 3-4 first teamers who breath black and white air would spice this team up with a couple on bench also. The patience is another thing with Interisti and it may take a year or two for youngsters to develope and adapt with the team, but sacrifices have to be made.

After this has been made, we should look at young 21-22 year olds from other countries. Sure, Milan and Juventus don't have much Primavera players in them, but guess who are the leaders, captains. (I'm not saying that Javier is not passionate towards Inter) But a lot of the big teams (or those who just were the ones) all around Europe have loads of players coming through their own ranks. Andreolli, Potenza, Dellafiore, Momente, Marino - they all have the potential and passion! We should now work on them. If all done right - it may even turn out as a golden generation! To want them before inch perfect from the start is too much. Even Burdisso who is much older and more experienced didn't start of perfect. (Ofcourse, this hasn't got much to do with Roma, but their situation is the same at the moment and I beileve this team of Aquilani, De Rossi and so on have a great future ahead of themselves)

As for playing youngsters in Inter

I think the best 11 for Inter, the team who can win and get results is Forza-Inter members team. Probably, we are most addicted to Inter, than some of starting 11 at Inter

It obviously has notable sarcasm in it. Does it?
