OFFICIAL: Hajduk-Inter On August 2 In Split, Croatia
Initially, it was decided that Inter would face Hajduk Split at the Giuseppe Meazza on August 2. However after the request of playing at home first by the Croatian club due to financial reasons, UEFA have accepted their request and so on Thursday August 2, Inter will fly to Split, Croatia to make official debut in the Europa League.

Published: Monday 30 July 2012, 13.00CET
http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/newsid=1843491.html#humble+life+suits+inter+record+breaker+zanetti
Javier Zanetti has broken pretty much every FC Internazionale Milano record going but as Champions magazine discovers he is as humble as when he arrived, wearing his first-ever suit, in 1995.
A supermarket plastic bag. Not a diamond-encrusted designer holdall. All he was carrying was a plastic bag containing his boots and ID. "Excuse me," he said to the fans, journalists and autograph hunters milling outside FC Internazionale Milano's training ground, waiting for the new signings. Nobody recognised Javier Zanetti until it was too late. "When I stepped on to the balcony, the fans couldn't believe it. I'd just walked through them and they had no idea who I was. Not even the gateman."
Now, 17 years and 16 trophies later, Zanetti still laughs about his first day at Inter. And he still has the same attitude. If it were up to him, he would still carry his boots in a plastic bag. The Argentinian is arguably the humblest football legend of the past two decades.
"When I signed my contract, they made me choose a car. I picked a BMW, but the day before my first training session, I felt strange. So I phoned [Inter captain] Giuseppe Bergomi and asked him if it was OK that I show up in a BMW. I didn't want to send the wrong message to my new team-mates. But when I arrived, I realised my car was the ugliest in the whole parking lot! And I felt much better."
Zanetti also remembers how difficult it was to talk to his then girlfriend, now wife, Paula, when he first moved to Italy. The public telephone, two blocks away from his house in Como, virtually became his personal domain. "I would buy a cheap calling card and spend hours in that cabin. In winter it was freezing and my hands would end up all shaky. But it was worth it. The problem was for the other people waiting to use the payphone. Imagine the things they'd have been saying! Then, fortunately, I bought a fax machine."
He hasn't changed much: same haircut, same baby face as on that day in 1995, when he wore a suit for the first time and was introduced to the Inter fans. Few would have thought back then that he would become the club legend and serial record breaker he is today.
Every time he plays, every moment he walks on to the pitch, Zanetti sets a new milestone. Matching his achievements will be almost impossible. He has played more than 1,000 professional matches. He is the most-capped player for Argentina and leads every chart at Inter, including most seasons as captain, most Serie A matches and most appearances overall.
The last one was the latest record he snatched from Bergomi, achieved last September against PFC CSKA Moskva. Zanetti's contract expires next year, when he will be almost 40. But Bergomi, nicknamed 'Lo zio' ('the Uncle') doubts that his successor will retire soon. "One day I joked about him being able to play until he was 50," Bergomi said. "Now I seriously believe that he can play until he's 45. His fitness is intact. Like with Paolo Maldini, it will be for him to decide when and why to quit football. He is superhuman."
The day he broke Bergomi's Serie A appearance record, a banner in the stands read: "Pupi [Zanetti's nickname], you've surpassed the Uncle and still look like his nephew." His former team-mate Gianluca Pagliuca congratulated him, albeit with a hint of fear: "I hope you play just two more seasons, otherwise you'll beat my record of 592 games." Zanetti has played 570 to date. Maldini racked up 647 appearances in 25 years.
"All the records are special, but two are my favourites," says Zanetti. "One is Argentina's most capped player, considering how difficult it is to play in a country like mine, where new great players are blossoming all the time. The other is being Inter captain for 12 years and having the record number of appearances, especially for being a foreigner, which really stands out."
Is there a secret to his longevity? "I don't mess around when it comes to fitness care. Also, the harmony you find at home, with a beautiful family, helps you to think just about football. My secret is to train as intensively as I can, if possible, with the same level of intensity you experience in a real match."
Obsessed with his daily routine, Zanetti turned up at Argentina's training camp even on the morning of his wedding. It is not uncommon to find him at Inter's training ground every day during his holidays. He just does not want to stop. "My team-mates at Inter mock me when we are in training. 'Hey, come on, stop running, let us win for a change,' they joke. But as long as my body responds, I will keep playing."

哈伊杜克vs国际米兰的赛前采访
SPLIT - After Stramaccioni it was time to hear from Zanetti, who – just three games away from his 800th competitive appearance – would mark his 150th European match for the Nerazzurri tomorrow should he take to the pitch: "We know that we'll encounter a very energetic atmosphere tomorrow, but I believe there are many of us who are used to this kind of situation. The important thing is to try to play an intelligent match and try to make the most of our characteristics that we believe can help us play a great game."
The Nerazzurri captain also spoke about preparation: "We'll have to be smart. We know we still haven't done a full month of work yet but we'll have to pull out our other qualities and try to always keep in mind that there are two matches and that we have to try to give everything we have."
The first competitive match tomorrow will also mark the start of Zanetti's 18th season at Inter. "It's an important season for everybody because there are so many changes. I'm confident. There are also a lot of youngsters and those of us with more experience have to help them. They represent the future of this club – a great future," he stated.
SPLIT - "I enjoy playing with these lads, but it wasn't easy tonight. We don't even have a month's work behind us and we might have struggled against a team that's in better shape than we are. But we went about things the right way, we showed the right mental approach." That was Javier Zanetti's assessment after the 3-0 win over Hajduk Split, which included a goal by Coutinho. Speaking to Inter Channel, the skipper added: "I'm pleased for him. We're used to seeing him do things like that because we watch him in training every day. We're happy that he's scored such a good goal in an important match like this."
Cambiasso: "Well done Inter, that's the approach"
Friday, 03 August 2012 01:55
SPLIT – Esteban Cambiasso spoke on Inter Channel about the victory over Hajduk Split in the first leg, third qualifying round of the Europa League. "We played well and what's important is that we followed our game plan. I agree these matches can prove treacherous if you take them too lightly, because you can end up having to chase the game and then you run more risks. But the team had the right attitude, it was a little surprising but we had worked towards this and we managed to pull it off."
Cambiasso had a great chance to score on the Poljud pitch last night, but "it was coming at me fast, I mistimed things by a thousandth of a second and rather than making contact and scoring, the ball continued on its path," said Cuchu, as he spoke about Inter and their experience in European competitions: "For some time now this team has shown that neither the match nor the competition counts; what's important is the jersey we wear and today was a good example of that."
Andrea Stramaccioni was pleased with his Inter team's performance, after just a month of preparation: "We are pleased too. We do have a lot of aspects to improve on but we are just starting now. What pleased us most, and I believe Stramaccioni too, was our approach in our first competitive match after so many friendlies. We knew our opponents had already won a qualifier against Skonto and they already a feel for the competition. That was the greatest risk but fortunately we kept our heads and we'll have to play well again on Thursday."
Samir Handanovic: 6
Pushed the ball out of bound for a corner, safe on a couple of calls as well as in the final minute against Maglica. Although the feeling is that Julio Cesar’s feet are bit more… Brazilian.
Jonathan: 6
Stramaccioni played him to keep Zanetti in the midfield. Had to work a lot in the beginning but improved as the game went on. Came close to a 4-0 with a left footed shot.
Matias Silvestre: 6
He was calm to help out Jonathan when the Brazilian lost Ozobic. Should have had a 6.5 had it not been for the two mistakes and a yellow at the end of the game.
Cristian Chivu: 6.5
Had to leave the game after the break due to problem in the right foot. But before that, he kept away the mediocre Croatian midfielders and initiated the action if there wasn’t Cambiasso falling back.
Walter Samuel: 6
He was forced to make his 200th appearance in black and blue due to the doubt regarding Ranocchia and Chivu’s injury.
Yuto Nagatomo: 6.5
Started hesitantly but then returned to his old self and also got the goal. Fortunate but it is his first in Europe.
Javier Zanetti: 6
Two mistakes early on in his 150th game in Europe. Then started to play his football by pushing on the wing like he has done for 18 years.
Esteban Cambiasso: 6
Stood in front of the defense. Even if he is not at his best, he was able to control the Hajduk midfield. Missed a goal at the beginning of the second half.
Fredy Guarin: 7
The master of the midfield. He was playing a bit wide left and 10 to 20 meters in front of Cambiasso. He always knew when it’s time to make movements vertically, slow down, or to strike. Had he been in the team at the start of last season, Inter would not be playing in the outskirts of the continent. Has yet to perfect his shot…
Wesley Sneijder (MOTM): 7
Invented football, scored a great goal just when it seemed that he had missed the moment to finish it. 65 minutes of absolue silk. There is no such thing as “unsellable” players but technically, he is.
Philippe Coutinho: 6.5
Scored a beautiful and curving right-footed shot to close the game.
Rodrigo Palacio: 7
He sliced the Croatian fullbacks tenderly. Assisted the Cou’s goal and almost got a late goal too. But when he runs so much with lucidity like he did, scoring goal is optional.
Diego Milito: 6
Improved in comparison to the game in Glasgow. But he opened the doors for his teammates with short passes. Still not sharp but his assist was for the first goal.
Marko Livaja: N/A
Andrea Stramaccioni: 6.5
Not playing Mudingayi was surprising but his confidence was a good response. Good first game in Europe.
UEL, FC Vaslui 0-2 Inter: Argentine double
Thursday, 23 August 2012 22:54
PIATRA NEAMT - Andrea Stramaccioni's Nerazzurri began their Europa League play-off tie against Romania's Vaslui in confident fashion tonight. A goal in each half by Cambiasso and Palacio means Inter return from the Stadionul Ceahlaul in Piatra Neamt with a 2-0 victory. Plenty of attacking play from the Nerazzurri: a richly deserved win.
FIRST HALF - Stramaccioni chose Castellazzi to stand in for the injured Handanovic, with Silvestre and Ranocchia the central defensive pairing and Maicon and Zanetti as full-backs. Guarin, Cambiasso and Mudingayi formed a strong three-man midfield while Sneijder and Palacio provided support for frontman Milito.
It was a special night for captain Zanetti, who made his 800th appearance for Inter wearing a specially made armband: "800 appearances, 800 love stories".
Inter began with a sense of purpose, Sneijder and Palacio but also Maicon and Guarin getting forward well and the midfield line looking solid. With the game being played at a high tempo, it was Vaslui who fired off the early warning shots with Sanmartean and Niculae probing in the box.
Inter got their noses in front in the 23rd minute: Sneijder's corner was headed clear but only as far as Cambiasso, and the Argentine clipped a sweet volley over the crowded box and down into bottom corner.
The Nerazzurri pushed on looking for a second and Palacio's curler fizzed just wide. The goal seemed to have taken the wind out of Vaslui's sails and Inter had further chances to double their lead in the 34th minute, first following link-up play between Sneijder and Palacio and then through Guarin.
Vaslui weren't giving up but apart from the odd foray from Niculae they were struggling to pose much of a threat. That was until Antal picked out N'Doye in the 40th minute and the veteran midfielder forced a fingertip save out of Castellazzi with a rasping long-range effort.
The Nerazzurri took their foot off the gas a little as the half drew to a close, but they almost grabbed a second on the stroke of half time: Palacio's shot came back off the post. Inter took a 1-0 into the dressing rooms at the break.
SECOND HALF Vaslui made one change at the interval and took to the field with bit more guile and bite about them, Antal in particular causing problems.
Guarin went close with a curled effort in the 57th minute, yet Inter were finding themselves pressed back more often than in the first period, Vaslui looking especially lively down the right flank. By the time Varga drilled a cross-shot across the six-yard box midway through the half, the Nerazzurri were most certainly on the back foot.
They did manage to break forward a minute afterwards, but Guarin was unable to get enough purchase on his shot. Another minute passed and another chance, Charalambou inches away from finding an equaliser.
Inter doubled their lead in the 73rd minute: Sneijder carried the ball forward, Palacio shook off his marker with a clever run and collected the Dutchman's pass on the right of the box before dinking his finish past the keeper from an angle.
Guarin immediately went looking for a third but Coman was alert to it. Coutinho, who had replaced Milito, then exchanged passes with Sneijder before shooting, his weak effort failing to test Coman.
There was danger down the other end with 6 minutes left on the clock, as Castellazzi was forced to tip Sburlea's header over.
After three minutes of added time, Inter left the pitch with a 2-0 away win. A good haul to take home from a tough ground, but no less than they deserved. The result puts Stramaccioni's side in a strong position for next Thursday's second leg and sends them into their Serie A opener against Pescara on a high.
FC Vaslui 0-2 Inter (HT: 0-1)
Scorers: Cambiasso 23, Palacio 73.
PIATRA NEAMT - Inter won 2-0 in Romania on the night Javier Zanetti celebrated his 800th appearance for the Nerazzurri. The captain spoke of his satisfaction at the end of the game: "I feel happy and very proud to have reached such an important milestone and to have done so at a prestigious club like Inter, even more so as captain.
"I thank coach Stramaccioni for his kind words in yesterday's press conference, we have a very good relationship. As ever though, the most important thing for me is to feel like I'm helping the team. This evening we got a very good result but we can't think we're already through. Vaslui are a big side and they're good going forward so we need to be careful. Chivu told us what sort of atmosphere to expect here tonight and this certainly helped."
APPIANO GENTILE – Javier Zanetti is expected to make his 800th appearance in the same shirt when he steps onto the pitch at the Stadionul Ceahlaul in Piatra Neamt on Thursday. He'll run and he'll battle for the same colours, he'll captain the same side and once again he'll be the leader of that side. His aim as always will be to give his all and to do it for his fans. As always, Inter fans.
As he prepares to make yet another landmark appearance, the Nerazzurri skipper spoke to Andrea Paventi in an exclusive interview with Sky Sport 24.
How do you feel about being so close to yet another milestone?
"First and foremost I'm happy. In all honesty I can say that when I pulled on this shirt for the first time I could never have imagined it might be the first of 800 with the same shirt, the same club. It's an achievement that fills me with pride, especially because it's happened in such a great place with such a great family as we have here. I've experienced a lot of different things but I've always been aware that I was the captain of a great team."
If you had to choose one moment from all those 800 games that is especially dear to you...?
"There are lots of moments. Perhaps two in particular: the night before I made my Inter debut, because I saw San Siro as being so far away that the thought of being a part of it was like a dream to me. The other one was the night before the Champions League final - the target we had been aiming for for so long and which we finally achieved with that unforgettable triumph."
Are moments like that night in Madrid far away from this current Inter team? What do you think of this new Nerazzurri project?
"A new project is starting up with lots of youngsters and experienced players such as myself. But more importantly we're starting over with the determination to make up for last year, which was a bad year. There's so much enthusiasm around the place and we can't wait to get stuck into the games that matter so that we can show everyone that we're in with a shout too."
What type of targets have Inter set themselves this year?
"We must try to hold our own in all the competitions we'll be involved in between now and the end, and try to go into the business end of the season with a chance of challenging for one of the big prizes. Juventus are no doubt the team to beat because they are the Scudetto holders, they haven't changed much and because they have great strength and belief in their own ability. Then there are the usual teams: I think Roma are looking good because they have brought in a new coach; they have chosen a very intelligent coach who knows what this game is all about and they are doing everything they can to play a big part in things again. There there's Milan, although they have made lots of changes. I think it will be a very open league. And we mustn't forget Napoli either. They won last year's Coppa Italia and they challenged until the end in the other competitions too."
What does Antonio Cassano's arrival at Inter mean?
"Above all it's motivating because he's a fantastic player. If he does join, he'll strengthen a squad that is determined to become a major player once more. We know him well, we know what sort of player he is. And he's also a very likeable lad. Hopefully together we can lead Inter on to great things again."
Can you tell us what you're going to put in the letter you'll leave on the table for Antonio Cassano in Appiano Gentile?
"Here he'll find a group of people willing to help him and who will welcome him in style, which is what he deserves, trying to get Inter challenging at the top and playing football that the fans can enjoy."
Are Inter relaxed about the two legs against Vaslui or is there something you are worried about?
"There's always something to worry about but we're preparing for these two games as best as we can. We know the first match is particularly important and we'll be playing at a difficult ground, but I also know that Inter are ready for it."
We've read about Javier Zanetti still being the best dribbler on the pitch but how do you see your future? Over the next 10 months will you be thinking about what you're going to do when you retire?
"I will think about it, for sure. But my main concern will be having a big season with my team-mates, trying to do my bit for the cause at all times - especially in the difficult times - and come the end of the season I hope to see myself lift a trophy or two. Then there will be time to spend with my family and think about what will happen."
Has Andrea Stramaccioni given this team a new-found identity and solidity? Can you tell us who you think could be the star of the coming season, even though we're only in August?
"I'll say Palacio, who has already shown what he can do in a short space of time. As for what the coach is doing, we got to know him last season but now that we know him better I can say that he's a man full of desire and enthusiasm to put all his ideas into practise with us and try to get this Inter running at full steam."
Castellazzi 6,5 - Impiegato sopratutto nel finale, quando il Vaslui preme. Ma è nel primo tempo che Castellazzi dice 'ci sono anch'io'. Si allunga e sfiora il tiro di N'Doye. Il vice-Handanovic, ora, è lui.
Maicon 6,5 - Può essere la partita d'addio. Lo dicono da giorni, ma Maicon è ancora qua, in campo con la maglia dell'Inter. E affonda come sa, dialogando con Sneijder e compagni. In attesa del mercato, l'Inter si gode il Colosso. Che lancia segnali...
Silvestre 6,5 - Studiando da muro. Silvestre vuole prendersi l'Inter, sbroglia situazioni pericoloso e mette il piede quando serve. La coppia con Ranocchia tiene bene, l'Inter non subisce gol, solo qualche pericolo del Vaslui.
Ranocchia 6,5 - Pieno di fiducia, nonostante ancora qualche incertezza. Ranocchia non ha paura, vuole conquistarsi il posto. Gara serena e senza errori, tanti anticipi e palloni spazzati. Ranocchia cresce e sta bene.
Zanetti 7 - Dopo 800 partite, dovrebbero averlo capito: dalle sue parti non si passa. E invece gli attaccanti del Vaslui ci provano, ma non sanno, forse, a cosa vanno incontro. Palla persa, la prende il Capitano: dopo 800 partite, la musica non cambia. Passa in mediana quando si fa male Mudingayi. Partita speciale, solita duttilità.
Cambiasso 7 - La sblocca lui, il Cuchu. Bel sinistro da fuori area, segna ancora dopo il gol in amichevole contro il Bizertin. Ma questo è più importante, sblocca la gara e mette la pratica Vaslui in discesa. Cala nella ripresa, dopo un ottimo primo tempo.
Guarin 7 - Si tuffa spesso in avanti, crea pericoli su pericoli. In fase offensiva si fa sentire, ma non trova la porta quando si trova col pallone tra i piedi. Ora aspetta il suo ex compagno Alvaro Pereira, per un'Inter sempre più competitiva. E sempre più dinamica, come Guarin.
Mudingayi s.v. - Parte bene, ma l'infortunio lo costringe a uscire. Non vuole arrendersi, prova a restare in campo: più prudente la sostituzione.
Dal 19' Nagatomo 6,5 - Entra a partita in corso, con l'obiettivo di conquistare Stramaccioni e la maglia da titolare. Soffre in un paio di occasioni, ma in avanti si fa vedere.
Sneijder 7,5 - Distillati di classe purissima. Stramaccioni l'ha messo al centro dell'Inter, Sneijder risponde alla grande. Tacchi e grandi colpi, oltre all'assist che mette Palacio davanti a Coman. Pescara si avvicina, Strama lo toglie e Wes scuote la testa. Vuole giocare, sempre. Per dare una mano all'Inter. Dal 81' Juan Jesus s.v - Minuti preziosi. Segnale importante da parte di Stramaccioni che decide di puntare su di lui anche per pochi minuti.
Palacio 7,5 - Gli basta un minuto. Esce Milito, Palacio diventa prima punta. E dopo neanche un minuto segna il gol del raddoppio: bel pallonetto su assist di Sneijder. Oltre al gol, dialogo prezioso coi compagni e tanto movimento. Se non c'è Milito, niente paura: ci pensa Rodrigo. Mancherà a Pescara per squalifica: assenza pesante.
Milito 6 - Il Principe è ancora un po' indietro di condizione, non è ancora quello della scorsa stagione. Sponde e movimenti utili, in attesa della gamba giusta.
Dal 72' Coutinho 6 - Entra e dà vivacità. Ci prova, ma non riesce a trovare il gol. Stramaccioni può essere soddisfatto.
Allenatore: Andrea Stramaccioni 7 - La sua Inter migliora partita dopo partita. Mette in campo la formazione titolare, il Pescara può aspettare. Coraggioso quando toglie Milito, ancora non in forma, e mette Coutinho. Dopo un minuto l'Inter trova il raddoppio con Palacio. E intanto conferma il centrocampo a tre, con tre uomini offensivi. Aspettando Cassano...

Inter 2-2 Vaslui: Palacio and Guarin settle it
Thursday, 30 August 2012 22:51
MILAN - Inter are through to the UEFA Europa League group stage following a 2-2 draw. They managed it in front of their own fans and did it the hard way, playing for much of the game with 10 men.
In the first half Vaslui led through Stanciu's penalty, Castellazzi seeing red for the challenge. Palacio levelled things in the second half on 76 minutes but three minutes later the Romanian side were back in front. Guarin however had the crowd on their feet at the end, scoring a marvellous solo effort to send Inter into the group stage.
FIRST HALF - Stramaccioni picked Silvestre and Samuel as his centre-back pairing in front of Castellazzi with Jonathan and Juan Jesus playing on the flanks. Zanetti, Cambiasso and Nagatomo made up the midfield three, while Cassano and Coutinho supported Palacio in attack.
Following the warm-up before kick-off Julio Cesar bid an emotional farewell to Inter and their fans. The keeper came out onto the pitch with his two children and received a standing ovation from the entire crowd. He will always have a place in everyone's hearts. Julio Cesar is well aware of it and he will never forget his time at the club. He had tears streaming down his face while his team-mates hugged him one by one and the crowd sang his name. Next he had a team photo and a letter for the fans and former team-mates, while he thanked president Moratti for the opportunity to say goodbye and for the 7 marvellous years he spent with the Nerazzurri. Thank you Julio!
Now for the game and it was time to take on Vaslui. Inter's defence were right on song from the start as they thwarted a Romanian attack. The Nerazzurri nearly took the lead on 13 minutes: Cassano's free kick found the head of Samuel but his effort came back off the crossbar. Vaslui were not to be discouraged though and used their pace down the flanks to try and cause problems for the home side. It was a rather even contest with both sides looking to exploit set-pieces but without success. Inter went close again just after the half-hour mark. Cassano threaded it through to Coutinho who shot across goal with his left but Straton put it out for a corner. Two minutes later, on 33 minutes, Castellazzi brought down Antal in the box. Penalty to the visitors and Inter down to ten men following the keeper's dismissal. Stanciu sent Belec the wrong with the resulting spot-kick, the latter having come on to replace Cassano. Vaslui led on the night and Inter began to struggle. After one minute of added time the first half came to an end with the score Inter 0-1 Vaslui.
SECOND HALF - Inter made a change for the second period with Guarin replacing Samuel. The Nerazzurri were quicker to the ball and stronger in the challenge despite being down to 10 men. The hosts tried to press the ball high up the pitch. Guarin went close with a free kick on 66 minutes, faking to shoot before arrowing the ball in towards the near post. Straton got down well to make the save. In the 70th minute Zanetti had the crowd on their feet, finding Palacio, but his effort at the near post was deflected out for a corner. Inter appeared to have greater focus.
Celeban gave the hosts a scare though a quarter of an hour from time, but shot high following a defensive mix-up. A minute later Inter launched a counter attack. Coutinho broke forward covering 50 yards before playing it through for Palacio with the outside of his boot. The Argentine found the back of the net with his left. Vaslui were back in front on 79 minutes though. Inter failed to defend a corner and Varela was able to head home easily. With 6 minutes remaining Palacio brought out the best in Straton. Belec also did well to deny N'Doye in stoppage time.
A few moments later and the Nerazzurri had the equaliser, Guarin pinching the ball in midfield before beating two defenders and rifling a right-footed shot under the goalkeeper. A wonderful goal from a real fighter. Following 3 minutes of added time it finished Inter 2-2 Vaslui, and the Nerazzurri are through to the Europa League group stages.
瓦斯鲁伊(4-4-2):89-斯特拉顿/23-萨拉吉亚努、3-巴雷拉、5-克莱班、67-科尔多斯/8-安塔尔、16-考伊(58分钟,18-萨马迪安)、10-斯坦库、25-图库拉/78-恩多耶、9-斯布莱亚

MILAN - He's one of Inter's greatest ever goalkeepers. Seven seasons, 300 games, a host of legendary saves and that incredible energy and character of his: Julio Cesar was this and much more in Nerazzurri colours.
Thank you Julio, for battling by our side, for taking on Italy, Europe and the world, for screaming with joy - that unmistakeable gesture you made when the final whistle blew and you had kept another clean sheet for us. Thank you for protecting us on the pitch, and off it too at times.
You'll be 33 soon, on 3 September. Happy birthday, dreamcatcher, and best of luck from everyone here at Inter!
CASTELLAZZI 5,5: Poche parate, forse una degna di nota. Ma protagonista dell’episodio che condiziona la gara. Il fallo da rigore che provoca anche l’inferiorità numerica. Serata da dimenticare.
JONATHAN 6: Buona partita del terzino brasiliano, che soprattutto nella ripresa è riuscito a portare fuori la squadra sulla fascia destra.
dal 83’ RANOCCHIA 6: Entra e non sbaglia un intervento aereo. Pochi minuti, ma importanti per dare sicurezza alla difesa.
SILVESTRE 6: Tiene in piedi la difesa, di testa la prende sempre lui. Sbaglia il posizionamento sul gol del Vaslui in coppia con Samuel, sono automatismi da migliorare. Ma per stasera la sufficienza è meritata.
SAMUEL 6: Ancora un po’ fuori condizione, l’argentino comunque mostra ampi margini di miglioramento. Sfiora il gol del vantaggio con un colpo di testa che colpisce la traversa, ma è anche da un suo errore che nasce il rigore che ha portato il Vaslui alla rete.
DAL 46’ GUARIN 7,5: un calciatore di caratura mondiale, che ha coronato 45’ minuti ad alto livello con un gol da cineteca: potenza, classe, tutto ciò che si poteva desiderare. Un grande colpo.
JUAN JESUS 6: Timido all’inizio, forse causa impatto con S. Siro. Poi però ha preso sicurezza mostrando una buona corsa sulla fascia sinistra e ottime capacità d’anticipo da difensore centrale.
ZANETTI 7,5: Immensa partita del capitano nerazzurro, che non dimostra assolutamente 39 anni: tanta corsa, qualità, dribbling. Un vero Capitano, che è corso ad abbracciare i componenti della panchina al momento del gol di Palacio.
CAMBIASSO 6,5: Prova d’esperienza dell’argentino, che ha svolto il lavoro sporco di recupera palloni. Insieme a Guarin forma una grande diga di centrocampo.
NAGATOMO 6: Corre il giapponese, litiga con gli avversari e non molla un pallone. Nonostante la stazza fisica in campo si fa rispettare, anche se in fase propositiva, forse, è mancato qualcosa.
COUTINHO 6,5: Una gara non facile, ma mette in campo tutta la qualità maturata in questi anni italiani. Corre sulla fascia sinistra, sulla fascia destra, si accentra, dribbla ma soprattutto serve gli assist: quello per Palacio è suo, e vale una qualificazione.
CASSANO 6: Poco tempo anche per lui. Qualche scambio con Coutinho, la punizione vellutata per la testa di Samuel e nulla più. Ma una buona base su cui costruire qualcosa di importante.
DAL 34’ BELEC 5,5: Imperfetto sul gol del momentaneo vantaggio del Vaslui, dopo il pareggio di Palacio. Sbaglia anche qualche rinvio, ma le qualità sono indiscusse.
PALACIO 6,5: Un gol importante, una buona prestazione. Non era facile tenere in piedi il reparto da solo, l’inferiorità numerica s’è fatta sentire, ma ha dimostrato comunque di poter giocare in questa Inter.
ALLENATORE: STRAMACCIONI 6 - Riesce a gestire bene l'inferiorità numerica. I cambi sono effettuati al momento giusto, l'ingresso di Guarin nella ripresa è fondamentale per dare nuova verve al centrocampo che sembrava in difficoltà. Ed è riuscito a creare un bel gruppo, unito, e lo dimostra la voglia della panchina di andarlo a cercare dopo il gol di Palacio.
MILAN – The man of the match against Vaslui was Javier Zanetti, speaking to Sky Sport Italia, who first clarified: "It’s not just down to me. All of us made a great effort. It wasn't easy and we made things difficult for ourselves. But then with great determination and character we were able to go through. In football you can never take anything for granted. We saw that with Hajduk and we saw it tonight with Vaslui. What matters is that the team continue to grow."
Roma will arrive at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Sunday for the second league match of the season. Zanetti was asked whether it might give us an early sign of what lies ahead: "It’s too soon. Two highly motivated teams will face off and I think it will be a great match."
