Crunch Time

February 25, 2010

Inter Milan gained a vital victory last night in the Champions League after they beat Chelsea 2-1 at the San Siro. Inter’s win took Jose Mourinho’s impressive record of not losing a home match to 131 games, a feat no other coach has been able to do and i have no qualms with him declaring himself as “special”.

However, as Inter were celebrating a deserved win, their cross town rivals Milan were also having a celebration of their own down in Florence. The Rossoneri were celebrating a win that not only took them up to 2nd in the league but which also cut Inter’s lead over them to just 4 points.

Inter v Chelsea Preview

February 23, 2010

When the draw was made back in December, everyone looked at this matchup as the glamour tie of the round of 16. Back then Chelsea were riding high and Inter were struggling as little, and nobody gave Inter much of a chance against probably the second best team in Europe.

But luckily for Inter the games are being played now instead of before Christmas. Chelsea do not look as formidable defensively as they did a couple of month ago. Ashley Cole is out injured and John Terry has looked very distracted the last couple of weeks.

Mourinho Has Got Something Up His Sleeve

February 21, 2010

If there is one thing i like about Jose Mourinho it has to be his arrogance. Just yesterday he was at it again when he stated that his side can only be beaten if reduced to 6 men. Mourinho clearly annoyed with the display of his team blasted  out at reporters after Inter were held to a barren draw with Sampdoria at the San Siro.

Inter are coming into Wednesday’s Champion League game against Chelsea on the back of 3 successive draws and Mourinho has every right to be angry. When the Blues coming calling in 2 days time, Inter will have to make sure that there are no slips-ups this time.

Inter v Sampdoria Preview

February 19, 2010

With the game against Chelsea on the horizon, Inter cannot affords to slip up this weekend against a Sampdoria side that has won its last four games.

What I am expecting from Inter is a performance that gives me confidence going into the Chelsea game. I want to see the attacking brilliance that tore apart AC Milan in the Milan derby. I want to see Eto’o play well with Milito and Pandev. I want to see strength four that that looked vulnerable the last couple of weeks even though Inter has only conceded two goals in its last four games.
