Posted on by admin

Inter Milan has defeated Catania in a Serie A match played at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Sunday. Milan won the match by 2-0. This was the sixth victory for Inter Milan in the ongoing Serie A League. This victory hasn’t affected the position of Milan in the Serie A points table. Milan is still at no. 4 with 18 points in 8 matches. On the other hand, Catania has slipped down to no. 7 in the points table with 11 points in 8 matches.

This was the fourth consecutive victory for Inter Milan in the competition. The manager of Inter Milan, Andrea Stramaccioni, seemed to be delighted with the performance of his team in the match. Stramaccioni said, “It was another wonderful performance by the boys. We had been performing brilliantly since the last few weeks and it was important to continue the winning streak.”

“There were a couple of missed opportunities in the first half, but, apart from that, it was a clinical performance. The body language of the players was terrific. When you win quite a few matches consecutively, you tend to get a bit complacent at times. But, the boys maintained the same kind of intensity that they had shown in the previous matches.”

“Everyone in the team is playing his part beautifully. If we keep playing like this, it will be very hard for any other team to beat us.”

When asked about Cassano who scored his fifth goal in the ongoing season, Stramaccioni said, “He has proved to be a great buy for us. We had massive hopes from him and he has been delivering so far. Hopefully, he would be able to maintain his form in the further matches as well.”

Inter Milan’s next match will be a Europa League encounter against Partizan Belgrade on Tuesday at the same venue.

CHIVU RULED OUT

Inter Milan could be without the star defender Cristian Chivu for up to a month now after it was revealed that the defender has not made sufficient progress in his attempts to rehabilitate from his injury problems. The Romanian defender has been suffering from a toe problem for the last couple of weeks. He recently extended his contract at the San Siro after many rumours linking him with a move abroad came up during the summer. He was a free agent this summer, which prompted speculation linking him with the likes of Real Madrid and Ajax.

However, he has decided to extend his stay at the San Siro by renewing his contract. It is expected that he will be back to the first-team action only by the eighth week of Italian Serie A action. Inter Milan will be up against Catania at home during this weekend. The arrival of Cristian Chivu back into the first team will be a significant boost for the club because they have altered a significant portion of the first team following a disappointing season. Cristian Chivu will be one of the players to provide experience to the new arrivals at the club.

Despite not playing in the Champions League, Inter Milan have spent a lot of money on high profile players in the summer. They are expected to once again propel the club back to the title challenge. It has been two seasons since Inter Milan last won the Italian Serie A title. Inter Milan have made a decent start to the new season, although they have been recently defeated by Roma. It was the first defeat of the season, but aside from that, they have won the other two matches of the campaign. Juventus and Napoli are expected to be the major challenges for the title this time around.

Inter Milan has defeated Vaslui by 2-0 in a match of the Europa league. Rodrigo Palacio and Esteban Cambiasso scored the goals for Inter. The first goal was scored by Combiasso in the 23rd minute of the match when he smashed a fantastic volley with his left foot straight into the bottom corner of the goal post. Palacio had almost doubled the lead of Inter towards the end of the first half, but, his shot rebounded after hitting the goal post and the opportunity went begging. But, Palacio didn’t miss the opportunity in the second half. In the 73rd minute of the match, he capitalized on Sneijder’s pass and put the ball into the goal post from an awkward angle. The Inter players looked in control throughout the match and the team won the match comfortably.

This was the 800th match of Javier Zanetti for Inter Milan. Zanetti is currently the skipper of the team. He has been playing for Milan since the last 17 years.  He had joined the club way back in 1995. Inter had bought him from Banfield. Zanetti played his first match for the club in August 1995 against Vicenza. He has been captaining the Inter team since a long time and the team has won 15 trophies under his guidance so far. In the post match press conference, Zanetti said that he is very happy to have played for the club for so long. It has been wonderful playing for Inter so far. He wants to continue playing for Inter till the end of his career. On being asked about the performance of the team in the match, Zanetti said that the players maintained their intensity throughout the match and that was nice to see. As per Zanetti, it is important to be consistent in the entire season and hopefully, the players would continue playing in the same way in the further matches as well.

The Romanian football player, Cristian Chivu, has said that he is delighted by the renewal of his contract with Internazionale. Cristian was not able to perform too well in the last season of Italian Series A. So, there were talks that he would probably leave the club after his contract gets completed. But, this doesn’t happen. The Romanion star said that it would be so nice to play for Internazionale again. As per Chivu, there were no doubts in his mind about signing the contract again and the reports of him leaving the club were just rumors.

Chivu said that the new coach of Inter has promised him that he would be given the chance to play as central defender in the upcoming season. He said that centre back is his specialized position and he feels pretty comfortable playing in that position. On being asked about the poor performance of the team in the last season, he said that sometimes a poor season is essential to make the team understand the importance of a victory. As Per Chivu, when you win continuously, you tend to be a bit complacent. So, sometimes, a wake up call is necessary. He said that winning is a habit and it’s necessary to win consistently. You can’t be inconsistent in your performances at such a podium.

Chivu said that there are quite a few young players in the team and they would get valuable assistance from the experienced players. He said that it is necessary not to do the same mistakes which were committed in the previous season. On being asked about his personal targets, Chivu said that it is pretty unfair to focus on the personal goals in a team game. He said that the team comes first and team’s better performance in the upcoming season would be the primary goal.
