I can understand that we have a strong squad and are the reigning Italian and European champions as well as Italian Cup winners. I also do not know the details of our financial state and I am aware that we are planning for when the FIFA financial fair play regulations come into play. However, did our treble winning side need reinforcements in the summer after such a successful season? Yes, for

Here is my review of our team, along with a rating out of ten for each player, in what has been our best and most successful season in my twenty four year living memory. Goal KeepersCesar = Last season he established himself as one of, if not the best goal keeper in the world, so living up to the leaps and bounds of his development and performances last season was always going to be difficult.

There is no doubt Balotelli is one of the best young players in world football. He is incredibly talented at such a young age and can be a starter for any team in the world. He has pace, strength, good dribbling ability, is a strong finisher, has a powerful shot and is a reasonable free kick taker. He is also Italian and an Inter Milan youth product, which not only benefits us in terms of meeting

Winning at the San Siro was wonderful and our defeat in Camp Nou has to be looked in a different way on what could've happened.The atmosphere for the encounter was a lot difficult. Barca fans showed us many reasons to hate them. And not only us Nerazurri but every other supporter of any other team. The fans tried to keep our players waken and assaulted our manager's car. That not only showed how

Last year I made a similar article about young players that were coming strong from Brazil. I don't really remember the ones I talked about and now I'll never know. Sadly. But it's a new year and some new youngsters are appearing! My guess is. They won't leave Brazil this year. And I think I need to start by saying this.There are three reasons for them not leaving Brazil just yet. One, and that's

First of all, sorry to take too long to write it. That being said let's talk about football. First, and i think one of the most important aspects of the game, let's compare managers.Ancelotti is no stranger to both Inter or Mourinho. Mourinho has faced Ancelotti before and so have Inter. He's not the type of manager that will make any surprises. If he has problems with injuried players he will do

It is that time of the season again when Inter Milan enter the Champions League knockout stage surrounded by huge fan expectations, and the media repeating the question “will this be the year when Inter replicate their dominance in Italy on the European stage, or will they fail to deliver, yet again?” For the third season running Inter have been drawn against one of the favourites for the

Let's see it. Bad game, Bad ref, Bad score. That's the match report. Although we were two man down we actually managed to hold a good defensive ground. Inter was more dangerous than sampdoria for the whole match. We actually could've won! But let's see the ratings for the playersJulio Cesar - 5: An average grade since he didn't have much to do. I could've gave him a ten since he was perfect!

Following Luke's article for 'The new La Grande Inter' i thought it would be nice to look at how we developed from previous years. It's known that Inter has changed a lot since mourinho started. Mancini's Inter was completely different than Mourinho's Inter for one basic aspect: mancini's team was around one man and mourinho's team is around the whole team.First of all it's nice to analyse witch

The most successful period in the history on FC Internazionale was the 1960’s, where the team won three Scudettos, two consecutive European Cups (also finished runner up in 1967), and two Intercontinental Cups. This team is known as La Grande Inter (the Great Inter).The Grande Inter were managed by the authoritarian man manger and footballing genius Helenio Herrera. A dominant personality who

Cesar = 8.5 – Made some excellent saves. Showed the form of last season which has been lacking too much so far this season. He was beaten on both Napoli’s efforts against the woodwork though, so if it was not for the cross bar and the post he would not have saved us.Maicon = 6 – Struggled. He tried to get forward, but Napoli did a good job at limiting his danger. Attempted a few attacking passes,

In keeping with Henry's latest article, it is past the half way stage of the season, so here are my half season report cards for our players so far:Goal keepers:Cesar = Overall rating – 7. A good start to the season, but he dipped in form in November to January and made some uncharacteristic errors. Has started to play much better in recent games, notably the Milan derby and against Napoli. He

Susy Campanale, a relatviely incompetent writer for www.football-italia.net, has today written an article entitled 'Multi-taskers needed'. She essentially claimed that Italian teams cannot compete in three competitions, and bases her argument solely on Fiorentina's current crisis and Roma's last season.

Inter Milan have dominated Italian football for the past few seasons. Yet one problem many Inter fans, Italian’s, and fans from all over the world, have with the four time consecutive Italian champions post Calciopoli is the lack of Italian players in the Inter squad. Under the reign of Roberto Mancini Inter were the first team in the history of Italian football the play a starting line up with

It is another World Cup year. During the last World Cup year, in the summer of 2006, Italy were on their way to their fourth World Cup victory in Germany, but back home Italian club football was being rocked by the biggest ever footballing scandal, now infamously known as Calciopoli.In the summer of 2006, recordings from telephone conversations, witness interviews and other forms evidence
