MAZZARRI IS SAFE

The Internazionale head Mr. Erick Thohir says he has no plans to do the analysis of the work of the head coach Walter Mazzarri in near future.

After Inter’s big losses to Cagliari and Fiorentina, some newspapers in Italy had quoted the club chairman saying that the manager’s job was unsafe and the results of the next couple of games would determine if he continues or gets handed the axe. After that, the names of some unemployed managers started to pop up with Robert Mancini being rumoured as the strongest contender. Continue reading “MAZZARRI IS SAFE”

INTER CHANGES HANDS

The Italian club that sold the 70% stake to the Indonesian business man Erick Thohir as Massimo Moratti stepped down from the position and now will remain being an Honorary President lost the chance to get into higher positions in Serie A after only claiming a 1-1 draw against Bologna.

Bologna is a club that is struggling just to remain in the Italian side trying to stay away from the relegation zone but still managed to snatch 1 point against Inter Milan as the team played in a surprisingly disappointing fashion.

Walter Mazzari spoke about the match and told the Italian media:

“If we want to stay at the top level, then we can’t keep throwing points away like this,” Mazzarri told Sky Sport Italia after the game.

“We created even more chances than usual. It looked like the goal was cursed and in these situations you can even lose.

“We had a series of naive errors on Bologna’s goal and it made the game an uphill struggle. We missed the seemingly impossible, but that is football and if you don’t take your chances then you don’t win.”

Inter Milan was expected to come out as the victorious side but they could only manage to secure 1 point out of the match and sees Inter Milan sitting in 4th place behind the table toppers Juventus by 8 points and their objective getting further and further out of the reach of Walter Mazzarri’s side.

As they are not participating neither in the Champions League nor the Europa League it will be even further disappointment if they fail to make a real challenge towards the silverware of Italy, The Scudetto.

INTER HAVE CHARACTER

The manager of Inter Milan, Walter Mazzarri, has hailed his side for showing character in the last game against Fiorentina.

Inter defeated Fiorentina by a close margin of 2-1 and moved up to no. 2 in the Serie A points table. They have played 5 league games so far out of which they have won 4, while; one has ended in the form of a draw. They have got 13 points at the moment.

Mazzarri was appointed as Inter boss at the start of this season and he seems to be doing his job fantastically well. Inter is playing with a positive approach and is putting up consistent performances.

However, in the game against Fiorentina, Nerazzurri was under pressure at one point of time. They were down by 0-2 with only 20 minutes to go and to secure 3 points was not looking easy for them. But, they remained calm and with a couple of wonderful strikes, they eventually managed to pull off the win.

The two guys who found the net for Inter against Fiorentina were Jonathan and Esteban Matias Cambiasso.

Talking to the reporters at the end of that game, Mazzarri said, “We were facing a high class side and we struggled at times. We gave them a few scoring chances, but, luckily, at the end, we got what we wanted.”

“We need to show a little more maturity, but, the boys should be praised for what they have done so far.”

Inter had ended the last season at the ninth position in the Serie A points table, but, the fortunes of the team seem to be changing under Mazzarri this season.

When asked about that, the 52 years old said, “All credit goes to the players. It’s because of them I am getting praised.”

INTER EDGED OUT

Inter Milan almost have no possibility of getting back into the Europa league after suffering a 3-0 defeat against Tottenham in the first leg according to the defender Cristian Chivu. Inter Milan were paired alongside the English club Tottenham in the last 16 stage of the competition.

Tottenham have been one of the inform team’s over the last few weeks, and they demonstrated their superior advantage by managing a 3-0 win. This victory almost puts them in the quarter-finals of the competition, while almost eliminating the Italian club. Even though the Inter Milan manager Andrea Stramaccioni has spoken with confidence that they can turn around the deficit, Chivu reckons that it is almost an impossible task.
