I dont really understand how u people could ever bench Materazzi? Ofc if he play bad(why would he?) then sure, bench him. But ahead of the season, why would u even consider it? He was the leader and main man of Inter, both in the team and for the fans.
------------------------------ Cesar
--- Maicon ------- Burdisso ----------- Materazzi -------- Chivu
------------ Vieira --------- Cambiasso --------- Zanetti
---------------------------- Stankovic
------------------- Crespo -------------- Ibrahimovic
But i believe that Suazo might just bench Crespo. Hopefully Adriano will bench them both since i think he have the most potential in our team togheter with Zlatan.
