Valencia - Inter (6 Mar 07)

[Alex de Large]

What bullshit between Moro and Matrix??

Looks like Matrix elbowED Moro

 

[Khalifa]

Looks like Matrix elbowED Moro

Moro? gay nickname. He probably elbowed himself!! It looked like a fair jump for the ball and marco is only being italian.

 

[Il Biscione]

it will be hard to beat valencia at mestalla

 

[Enzo]

A few points, Grosso must start the next match. He has the same qualities as Maicon does and he just hasn't done that well so far, but we know what he is capable, perhaps only one of the few left backs going around who can make such big impacts on matches and we have one of them, but he isn't being played.

Also, I believe that although David Villa's free kick was amazing, any keeper who gets beaten in his near post, must take blame. Julio Cesar is a good keeper but a Toldo he is not. I'm not saying to bring Toldo in, I'm just saying to achieve great things, one needs great players.

Finally, I also find this "record of how we've done well in Valencia" completely absurd, that will count for nothing at all.

 

[KaiokenFlash]

I disagree when you say Grosso has the same qualities as Maicon, because one of the most amazing things about Maicon is his blistering speed and agility, which Grosso lacks.

However, everyone in the inter camp knows that, if theres going to be any year were going to dominate...then it is NOW.

There Morales and Mentalilty will be at a whole new level in this fixture, we will see REAL aggression.

We gunning for the win, so lets believe...
FOZA INTER!!!

 

[INTER_FAN]

I said 2-2 is better than 2-1 cause of the mentality that we are forced to adopt for the away game, as Valencia coach said, our away form is like our home form, not big changes even though we are doing away fairly better than home this year.

Stats is nothing in football, who would say Liverpool will win vs. Barca and Milan will be held with Glasgow and the two amazing forwards of Roma and Lyon shoot blanks.

We can win this, we need to capitalize on our chances though, if we managed to go 2-0 like last time in Valencia, the game will be totally different and open, however its not easy but we can do it last time we scored 5 goals in one half, one half,

Valencia is different this year, Yes, without their captain, we can cause them damage,

Anyway we can say whatever but the game will be 90 minutes and the pitch will choose who deserves to qualify. We can do it, if only we believed,

funny how the mood is totally different from our last year game vs. Villareal totally the opposite, in that game we were chatting here on who we are gonna play with in the Quarter final, here its totally pessimistic, I think its all due to the fact that we are doing very well in the chanpionship this year and people think its too good to be true with Inter.

let Mancini proves us wrong in 2 weeks,

Inter doesn't need a draw, that's why Grosso must play, his attacking qualities will be extremely helpful. This isn't some washed up has been like Favalli, this is World Cup winner Fabio Grosso who was the star of his teams win in the World Cup. I cannot believe he hasn't been trusted more, his game against Roma should be watched over and over again.

Also I wouldn't mind someone like Solari being looked at, has he done well against Valencia in the past?

 

[snake]

Maxwell's attacking ability >> Grosso's.

 

[rockball]

Valencia should be expected to score with their quality forwards .....
so we need atleast 2-3 goals.

I would still start with CRESPO and NOT Adri

He played left midfield vs roma not lb.

 

[M.Adnan]

Inter's defence line last season in Madrigal:

Zanetti---Materazzi----Samuel----Cordoba

Obviously Mancini was looking for a draw, thats one of the reasons why we didn't qualify last season.

This time, only a win counts. Grosso or Maxwell (if one of them isn't injuried) will play, not Cordoba as a RB. :grumpy:

If Cambiasso can't play, I think Solari will start.

The record won't mean that we will win in valencia but it will give the team confidence knowing they have won there before and that will tell them there's no reason why they can't do it again.

 

[Choppin Onions]

Maxwell's attacking ability >> Grosso's.

Yup. Might be better defensively as well. I haven't been impressed with Grosso when he's played.

Anyway, the gameplan and lineups should be pretty simple with the only question mark being Cuchu's fitness for this game. If Esteban is ready:

JC
Maicon Matrix Burdisso Maxwell
Cuchu JZ Dacourt
Deki
Ibra Adri

If he isn't:

Deki JZ Dacourt Figo

.... I guess.... :undecide:

 

[Opeum]

i'm confident that we will qualify, becos next match, we aim for in with an aatacking minded side..something at we best at. so i'm ok with the draw...but the thing that i worry about is, valencia counter attack..they good at that..really good i mean. but i do want to complain bout matrx, he cant seem to let go some stupid thingg..he is just provoking the referee and it's bad for the team if we down to ten man..last derby we leading 4-1 and end up 43, what if we were leading 3-2 or 2-1 maybe we will lost the game..better to start with samuel at least he is a brilliant type of player than materazzi..

also, i dont like figo playing as an Am, he not really good at that position, he cnat link with the strikers deki is better

 

[Khalifa]

it seems the papers are having a swing at us....i smell an earthquake.

 

[Jnr]

better to start with samuel at least he is a brilliant type of player than materazzi..

I would choose Matrix for these big games any day over Samuel.

 

[Ziyad]

We need two goals to make this a game..I hope it becomes the worst nightmarish game for Valencia.

Now we also know why Adri wasnt involved..

 

[1919]

Maxwell's attacking ability >> Grosso's.

no doubt about that Helal, but if we dont have a midfield trio of Dacourt- JZ-Cambi; Maxwell wont have enuf cover to go on those overlaps.

I say, Maxwell if we have those 3 fit and fine ... or play Grosso.

Bcoz remember one thing ... Angulo or Joaquin whoever plays on the right for Valencia will be looking to break into the space our LB leaves behind him whenever we attack down the wings.

If we have to play Solari or Stan as DM then it wud be too much to expect them to cover for both Maicon and Maxwell thru 90 mins

 

[punk's not dead]

we put our selves in a very difficult situation,j.cesar did a big mistake on the free kick of villa,he had to add another player in the wall.but i'm confident that we'll qualify the best lines up for me for this game is:

---------------------j.cesar-------------------

maicon------cordoba-------matrix--------maxwell

j.zanetti------------dacourt-------------combiasso

----------------------stankovic-------------------

----------adriano----------------ibrahimovic-------

and finally FORZZZZAAAAA INTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

We need 1-0 win. We need to win thats it.
