A WINNING START

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.
