Pescara 0-3 Inter: a three-goal debut
Sunday, 26 August 2012 23:25
PESCARA - A sold-out Stadio Adriatico witnessed the opener of the 2012/13 Serie A season between Pescara and Inter, with Andrea Stramaccioni guiding the Nerazzurri to a winning start: a 0-3 victory. It was a match of many interesting firsts, among which the Inter coachs meeting against the side from Abruzzo - a recently promoted club that played with big-team personality.
In the first half Inter found the net twice in two minutes through Sneijder and Milito. The Nerazzurri had to deal with an opponent capable of rapid counterattacking. And among some exciting interchanges and manoeuvring that brought applause from the fans, Inter hit their third thanks to Coutinho, assisted by Milito.
FIRST HALF Were only at the beginning, but its a fantastic start. Stramaccioni handed starting places to two of the three new Nerazzurri signings, Cassano and Gargano (today the Uruguayan celebrated his 200th match in Italy). With Palacio suspended, Milito took the role of the lone striker, and on the bench as of today with 12 players available Coutinho waited his turn. A foul from Guarin awarded a free kick to Pescara after three minutes; Cascione fired his shot off the wall before Jonathas sent the rebound out for a goal kick. Then when Caprari surged forward Castellazzi saved for a corner. On 12 minutes the Biancazzurri countered through Weiss, who beat his man to enter the box before going down as Zanetti approached, resulting in the midfielder receiving a booking for simulation. Two minutes later Gargano saw his name go down in the referees book for a challenge; Castellazzi tipped the ensuing free kick, taken by Caprari, over the bar for a corner.
Wesley Sneijder then had the honour of being the first Inter player to find the net this season; a forward pass from Zanetti picked out Milito, allowing the Argentine to send a perfect cross for the Dutchman to side-foot into the Pescara goal. The celebrations had barely died down before the Nerazzurri had their second goal. It was another perfect triangulation play; from Sneijders through ball to Cassano, then Milito, allowing El Principe to shoot past Perin from just inside the 6-yard box. Pescaras first real chance came on 31 minutes when Caprari beat the offside trap before firing his diagonal shot inches wide of Castellazzis far post. The home side conceded a free kick in the 36th minute when Zanon hauled back Nagatomo two paces outside the box. Perin then dived low to block Inters free kick after the foul. Whether its in Pietra Neamt or Pescara, Castellazzi is always capable of turning heads with his saves; after the pearl last Thursday that denied Sburlea, the Nerazzurris number 12 conjured up another today on 43 minutes from Casciones header, allowing Inter to finish the first half with a clean sheet.
SECOND HALF - The second half kicked off with no changes, and after 11 minutes of play Inter caused a scare in the Pescara box when Sneijder crossed for Cambiasso to head the ball high. There was practically a replay on 59 minutes when Guarin found Milito, who returned the ball to the Colombian before a sortie from Perin to the edge of his box thwarted Inters chance for a third. It was only the first match of the season, but there was an evident sense of understanding between the Nerazzurri players. This was made clear in the bewitching combination of passes between Milito and Cassano in the Pescara box on 60 minutes, even if the exchange failed to end in a goal.
Stramaccioni took Cassano off in the 68th minute and sent on Coutinho in his place, and it didnt take long at all for the Brazilian to create a golden chance for Milito. On 76 minutes, with Perins goal at his mercy, El Principe shot high when trying to place the ball in the top corner. However, the Argentine striker quickly made up for it when he collected Guarins pass wide on the right and sent a perfect cross for Coutinho to one-time into the Biancazzurris net.
In the 86th minute Stramaccioni gave Duncan his Serie A debut, and after three minutes of added time Guida whistled to end the match. Inter won their season opener, breaking their streak of beginning the season with a draw. They lead the group of 7 teams with three points in the standings and soon plunge back into Europa League play: Vaslui are to visit the Meazza before next Sunday's clash with Roma.
PESCARA - His 801st game, his 18th season at Inter. Javier Zanetti is still going strong. "We've got off to a good start and we knew we were coming to play at a tough ground," the captain told Inter Channel after the Pescara match. "Weiss was nippy and he tried to take people on, but with Guarin and Silvestre at the back we didn't run too many risks. It was important for us to take control of the game after going two-nil up and we kept hold of the ball. With all the quality we have in this team that's something we can do. If we all move about intelligently, we can limit the opposition and give them very few goalscoring opportunities."
PESCARA - A goal and two assists, not bad for an evening's work. Diego Milito gave his thoughts to Inter Channel after helping the Nerazzurri get their Serie A campaign up and running by beating Pescara: "First and foremost I'm pleased with the way we played as a team. Inter were excellent tonight. Cassano? A fantastic player. We have an abundance of riches in the final third. And today we were without Palacio and Alvarez too. It's a privilege to be able to play alongside them. Do I get on with Cassano? We had a very good relationship even as rivals. Now we're both here and aiming to do well together for the Inter cause."
CASTELLAZZI 7 – Si impegna due volte su Caprari, prima chiudendogli lo specchio della porta e poi deviando una sua punizione. Compie il miracolo su Cascione lasciato colpevolmente solo dalla difesa. Nella ripresa si sporca le mani dopo mezz’ora per un rasoterra di Weiss. Ma anche a gara chiusa resta lucido, come dimostra la parata di pugno sul tiro di Abbruscato.
ZANETTI 6 – Deve assaggiare la fame di Weiss che nelle prime battute impegna severamente tutta la retroguardia nerazzurra (e sul quale rischia il penalty, convertito in giallo per simulazione). Ma poi gli dà la prima lezione di affondo dando il via all’azione del vantaggio nerazzurro. Sui contrasti è sempre la solita grande sicurezza.
RANOCCHIA 7 – Errorino veniale in azione di corner del Pescara, ma poi il ragazzo sfodera una prestazione nel complesso positiva con grande padronanza dei propri mezzi, tanto carattere e buoni disimpegni. Peccato solo per un eccesso di sicurezza che rischia di pagare caro. Ma non fa nulla, perché comunque la sensazione offerta è quella di un giocatore che ha ritrovato fiducia in se stesso.
SILVESTRE 6 – Prova a giocare di mestiere anche se sul piano tecnico paga qualcosa. Un bel po’ di sportellate con Jonathas col quale rischia in un paio di circostanze. Nel provare a coprire sul brasiliano si fa sfuggire Cascione che colpisce solo soletto trovando super-Castellazzi a dirgli no. Qualcosa di meglio combina nel secondo tempo, anche se è l’unico che cerca, forse troppo cocciutamente, il lancio lungo: quando decide di giocarla a terra, innesca un contropiede pericoloso.
NAGATOMO 6,5 – A due marce nel primo tempo: dà una mano anche importante in fase offensiva con la sua corsa micidiale con la quale manda in crisi Zanon, ma in copertura talvolta latita, tenendo in un caso in gioco Caprari che da posizione angolata regala un brivido a Castellazzi. Nella ripresa corregge il tiro anche dietro, senza andarci mai troppo per il sottile.
CAMBIASSO 6 – Si trova a suo agio nel ruolo di difensore aggiunto, quando è chiamato a coprire la falla lasciata libera in difesa da Nagatomo. Gestisce bene la situazione, recupera lui il pallone che vale il raddoppio. E nella ripresa sfiora il 3-0 su assist ancora di Sneijder.
GUARIN 6 – Dopo due minuti gli viene fischiato contro un fallo inesistente con Weiss che simula. Grintoso come sempre, ma manca di precisione in disimpegno, innervosito forse dallo slovacco col quale ingaggia un duello spesso condito da trash talking. E’ lui nella ripresa a guadagnarsi il primo corner dell’Inter al minuto 57! Prova a far vedere qualcosa di diverso nei secondi 45 minuti, per poco non arriva sull’assist di Milito dove viene anticipato da Perin. Sua la palla che poi Milito servirà a Coutinho per il game over. Sul finire si rende pericoloso anche lui.
GARGANO 6 – Subito titolare per necessità, si piazza davanti alla difesa dando anche una mano notevole inizialmente; cammin facendo diventa un po’ impreciso pur mettendoci sempre fiato. Giallo per un fallo sul razzente Weiss. Prende un duro colpo, ma stringe i denti fino a quasi il 90esimo.
DALL’86 DUNCAN SV – La gioia dell’esordio, il peccato del cartellino giallo.
CASSANO 7 – Se quello di Gargano era un debutto preventivabile, il suo impiego dal primo minuto è invece una vera e propria sorpresa. La forma è ancora lontana dal 100%, però si impegna svariando sul fronte offensivo e trovando l’assist al centimetro per Milito. Usa fisico, forza, grinta: da lodare per il sacrificio, anche quando rientra in difesa. Da segnalare una perla: scivolata in fase difensiva a fermare Weiss. Stramaccioni lo lascia in campo e si inventa un paio di lampi davvero interessanti (splendido l’uno-due con Cambiasso). Dà tutto, davvero: esce applaudito dai compagni.
DAL 67’ COUTINHO 6,5 – Gli altri controllano la partita, a lui il compito di dare brio alla manovra. Lui decide di prendersi la responsabilità di chiudere il match sbucando alle spalle di tutti e trafiggendo Perin per la terza volta. Pregevole l’assist per la conclusione di Livaja respinta da Perin.
SNEIJDER 7 – Sua la prima conclusione, non proprio ortodossa, a coinvolgere Perin. Suo il primo gol in campionato quando apre la scatola correggendo in rete il tiro sporco di Milito con tanti saluti al distratto Zanon. Il gol del Principe a stretto giro di posta nasce da una triangolazione da lui innescata e da Fantantonio completata. Con un nuovo lancio a momenti non serviva lo 0-3 a Cambiasso. Vede il calcio prima degli altri, si concede lo sfizio di provare a colpire Perin da quasi settanta metri.
MILITO 7,5 – Il Pescara nelle prime battute si chiude a riccio, raddoppia sistematicamente, non lascia spazi. E allora, lui riesce a procurarne uno mettendo in mezzo all’area la palla messa da Sneijder in porta, forse un tiro sbagliato che diventa un assist d’oro. Nemmeno due giri di lancetta e Cassano gli serve un biscottino che inzuppa nella rete di Perin. Poi esce un po’ di scena, ma quando ha tra i piedi la palla del game over, la manda colpevolmente alle stelle. Si consola con l’assist per Coutinho.
DALL’84 LIVAJA SV – Per poco non centra il poker su assist di Coutinho.
ALLENATORE: STRAMACCIONI 7 – Anche a risultato acquisito mantiene sempre altissima la tensione per evitare di prendere un gol. Dopo un inizio un po’ così, la sua Inter si prende due minuti per sterilizzare le velleità del Pescara ipotecando un successo importantissimo. Dopo qualche rischio, nel secondo tempo controlla con autorità e alla fine chiude il contro con l’incursione di Coutinho.

What a game. What a game. It started a little shaky from Inter but after that first goal, we went onto play a marvelous game! The first 10 minutes saw Inter sitting back for long periods of time and most of the football was played in our side of the field. Then, as the players warmed up to the game, we started going and that first goal by Sneijder was great. 801 appearances in and Zanetti DOES NOT TIRE. Carving through the defense from the right side, he played in Milito to drive the ball across goal for Sneijder to tap in. Then, before we could take our breath, we scored again! Winning the ball back in Pescara’s half, Sneijder pounced to send Cassano through to set up El Principe for another easy tap in. Welcome Antonio! Throughout the remainder of the half, Inter held up position well and even though there was the odd Pescara attack, we managed to deal with it. After the break, Cassano began to tire and on came Coutinho and within minutes, he had his goal! Guarin did well to play wide to Milito who rolled the ball across goal again for Couti to send a well placed shot past the keeper. All in all, a great game! Forza Inter!
The player ratings are below:
Castellazzi 6.5: Had a decent game and dealt with what came his well calmly while making a couple vital stops.
Zanetti 7.5: El Tractor was as reliable as ever. This man does not age. Oozed experience in defense and surged forward when he could.
Silvestre 5.5: Looked shaky at times and almost gifted a pass to the oppositions attack.
Ranocchia 7.0: A promising display from Rano as he was calm and collected and dealt with what came his way.
Nagatomo 6.5: A confident showing from the full-back who is improving in confidence and did very well in attack.
Guarin 6.5: A good and strong game from Guaro who always looked to get the ball to the best possible man while winning countless balls.
Cambiasso 6.0: A tidy display from the Argentine who did nothing wrong but wasn’t spectacular either.
Gargano 6.5: A tidy showing from the new signing and looked capable of replacing Motta as he won many tackles and helped at the back well.
Sneijder 7.5: A great showing from our star Dutchman. He picked out some lovely balls and scored a well composed goal.
Cassano 7.0: A great debut for the Italian as he set up a great goal and was a thorn in Pescara’s side the whole time.
Milito 8.5: Easily the Man of the Match as he set up two goals and scored another while having great positional awareness.
Substitutes:
Coutinho 6.5: Showed why he deserves to start games with a great finish after Milito’s pin-point cross and looked to come forward at all times.
Livaja 6.0: A decent debut for the Croatian youngster as he hit a scorching shot that was saved by Pescara’s keeper.
Duncan 5.0: A cameo debut for the youngster and looked strong.

作者: 红蝶 时间: 2012-9-4 18:15 Inter 1-3 Roma: Cassano's strike not enough
Sunday, 02 September 2012 23:11
MILAN - Inter's first 2012/13 Serie A match at the Meazza ended in disappointment as Roma beat the Nerazzurri 3-1.
The first meeting between Andrea Stramaccioni and Zdenek Zeman saw the youngest and the oldest coaches in Serie A sharing the honours at the interval: Florenzi opened the scoring but Cassano pegged the visitors back on the stroke of half time. After the break Totti claimed his second assist of the game by supplying Osvaldo to restore Roma's lead, before Marquinho added a third late on.
FIRST HALF – Stramaccioni gave a full debut to Alvaro Pereira and the Uruguayan started in midfield alongside Guarin and Gargano. Milito led the line with Sneijder and Cassano in support. Meanwhile, Destro was making his debut for Roma in a three-man attack alongside Totti and Osvaldo.
A minute's silence was held in memory of the late Cardinal Martini before kick-off.
The game began at a high tempo as Nagatomo ran an early duel with Destro. The Japanese full-back came out on top both on the wing (4 minutes) and on the edge of the box (6), earning a roar of approval from the Meazza crowd. Roma began aggressively and Osvaldo almost muscled his way past Silvestre in the 13th minute, but the defender did enough to hold off the striker and allow Castellazzi to collect.
The visitors took the lead after a quarter of an hour: Totti's cross found Florenzi free in the box and the youngster nodded past Castellazzi into the far corner.
Inter tried to hit back immediately and it looked good when Milito was put clean through on goal, only for Stekelenburg to stick out a hand as the Argentine tried to skip past him.
Sneijder found the Prince with a 29th-minute corner but Balzaretti blocked the striker's path – illegitimately according to Milito. However, the ref saw nothing wrong with it.
A foot injury forced De Rossi to come off early, with Marquinho replacing him.
In the 35th minute Burdisso seemed to handball Cassano's cross in the box but replays showed it hit his chest.
Then, on 38 minutes, Nagatomo tried to go it alone and he did well to work his way into the box but could only lift his attempt over the bar.
We were already into first-half injury time when Cassano decided to open his Nerazzurri account: picking up Sneijder's cross, he turned away from Castan inside the box and unleashed a right-footer which took a deflection off Burdisso and spun onto the far corner of the goal.
SECOND HALF – The sides emerged from the dressing-rooms unchanged. Roma had a couple of chances to regain the lead as first Tachtsidis then Destro provided decent service for Osvaldo, but the Italo-Argentine failed to make the most of either.
On 55 minutes Palacio, having taken over from Cassano, shook off the challenge of Piris and fed Guarin, who charged forward and fired over the bar under pressure from Castan. Minutes later Guaro was on the prowl again and went one better, this time forcing a save out of Stekelenburg.
Totti then served up the killer pass for Roma's second, his perfectly weighted ball providing Osvaldo with the opportunity to chip the onrushing Castellazzi from the edge of the box. 1-2 to Roma.
Florenzi could have made it three in the 74th minute but instead it was Marquinho who did so 7 minutes later: Osvaldo scooped a pass into the box for the Brazilian to bring down and drill past Castellazzi at the near post from a tight angle.
Inter were unable to find a route back into the game and, after three minutes of added time, Bergonzi called a halt to proceedings.
INTER 1-3 ROMA (HT: 1-1)
Scorers: Florenzi 15, Cassano 45+1, Osvaldo 67, Marquinho 81.
CASTELLAZZI 5 - Prende gol al primo tiro in porta, nella fattispecie non brilla per reattività sul colpo di testa di Florenzi. Immobile sul pallonetto di Osvaldo che vale la seconda rete giallorossa. Passivo sul colpo da biliardo di Marquinho, che non sembrava irresistibile. In pratica, tre tiri nello specchio e tre gol, pessimo bilancio.
ZANETTI 5,5 – Purtroppo per il capitano due dei tre gol della Roma nascono dalla sua zona. Nel primo lascia crossare Totti troppo comodamente sulla testa di Florenzi. Nel terzo non contrasta a dovere Marquinho consentendogli di infilare Castellazzi. Anche lui, però, non è esente da responsabilità nel contesto di una difesa piena di buchi.
RANOCCHIA 5,5 - Non particolarmente presente in area in occasione del gol di Florenzi, esce bene alla distanza sbrogliando qualche situazione insidiosa e alzando la testa come un veterano. Inizia la ripresa con un’entrataccia su Marquinho che gli vale il giallo, poi si fa sorprendere come tutti i compagni di reparto dalla verticalizzazione per Osvaldo.
SILVESTRE 5 - Sul gol del vantaggio giallorosso rimane colpevolmente a metà strada, facendosi superare. Errore di posizionamento costato carissimo. Non manca poi qualche altro peccatuccio all’interno di una difesa alquanto traballante, che raggiunge l’apice al 67’ quando subisce, troppo facilmente, il secondo gol. Serata storta.
NAGATOMO 5,5 - Il giapponese è puro fosforo. Corre velocemente come se fosse protagonista di un manga, ma troppe volte pecca di lucidità. Come al 38’, quando fa tutto bene in area ma poi spara alto col destro. Nella ripresa soffre molto le iniziative di Destro, palesando i suoi già noti limiti difensivi.
GUARIN 6,5 - Un lottatore, come sempre. Inizia in sordina, cercando qualche colpo di fioretto. Poi però entra in partita a modo suo e al fioretto abbina la sciabola. Peccato che l’ammonizione nel primo tempo ne limiti l’irruenza invitandolo a ragionare un secondo in più. In attacco è tra i più attivi e un suo sinistro costringe Stekelenburg alla smanacciata. La stanchezza lo sfinisce, ma è ancora il migliore dei suoi.
GARGANO 5,5 - I piedi sono quelli, inutile chiedergli che sventagli di qua e di là. L’abnegazione e la corsa sono le doti migliori del suo bagaglio e li mette sul tavolo, ma se aggredito tende a smarrire la bussola.
(DAL 31’ COUTINHO SV)
PEREIRA 6 - All’esordio a San Siro inizia con un po’ di timidezza concepibile, poi bastano un paio di interventi puliti per sradicare il pallone ai giallorossi per fargli prendere fiducia. Il suo valore emerge alla distanza, tradotto in buone iniziative d’attacco e qualche cross. San Siro lo applaude quando esce vittima dei crampi
(DAL 66’ CAMBIASSO 5,5 – Non ha fortuna il Cuchu. Entra lui e la Roma passa poco dopo in vantaggio. Una coincidenza, che però altera l’equilibrio di una partita che stava procedendo su binari tranquilli, mettendo fuori fase anche lui).
CASSANO 6,5 - Le idee non gli mancano, è la concretizzazione il vero problema. Tende spesso a pestarsi i piedi con Sneijder, riducendo ulteriormente il raggio d’azione del reparto offensivo. Poi, però, nel recupero del primo tempo pesca il jolly che vale l’1-1, con la complicità di Burdisso. La prima risposta alla tripletta di Pazzini, in altre parole.
(DAL 50’ PALACIO 5,5 – Ingresso che non fa la differenza. Stavolta la bestia nera dei giallorossi resta in gabbia).
SNEIJDER 5 - Primo tempo sottotono, arretra fino alla propria metà campo per cercare gloria ma dal suo piede raramente parte l’apertura geniale che bypassa la linea difensiva di Zeman. La sua prestazione non migliora nel secondo tempo, quando sembra non trovare mai il suo posto nel match.
MILITO 5 - Per contare il numero delle volte che finisce in fuorigioco serve il pallottoliere. Non fa mai mancare il suo spirito di sacrificio, ma fatica a ricevere palloni giocabili e a volte sembra a corto di fiato. Mai uno spunto decisivo degno della sua fama.
ALL. STRAMACCIONI 5,5 – Di fronte al maestro Zeman fatica a trovare l’equilibrio tra fase difensiva e fase offensiva. Quando attacca la sua Inter sembra sempre in inferiorità numerica, quando difende tende ad accettare troppo spesso gli uno contro uno. Nella ripresa si gioca prima la carta Palacio sostituendo Cassano quando è Milito a non averne più; poi, dopo un buon avvio rimedia l’1-2 e cambia modulo, gettando nella mischia Coutinho e costruendo un 4-2-3-1 del tutto inutile, che si scioglie al terzo gol firmato Marquinho. Prima bocciatura stagionale per il tecnico, proprio contro la ‘sua’ Roma.

MILANO - "Una sconfitta difficile da spiegare", Inter-Roma è questo per Diego Milito che, ai microfoni di Sky Sport, commenta il match che ha visto l'Inter uscire sconfitta all'esordio casalingo nella serie A 2012-2013: "Non siamo stati brillanti, non abbiamo ancora fatto risultato pieno a San Siro, ci dispiace molto per questa sconfitta e l'unico modo per migliorare adesso è lavorare tanto. Cercheremo di conquistare i tre punti a Torino, inutile fare drammi, mancano ancora tantissime partite".
9月2日米兰消息 - “一场难以解释的失败”,在输给罗马之后,迭戈·米利托对天空体育说道,“我们今天表现不够好,我们没有发挥实力,失利让我感到很遗憾。现在唯一能做的就是继续努力工作,我们将在会都灵取得3分。现在谈论一些问题是没有用的,我们还有很多比赛要面对。”
作者: 红蝶 时间: 2012-9-4 18:40 Zanetti: "We need to understand and adjust"
Sunday, 02 September 2012 23:40 http://www.inter.it/aas/news/reader?N=40719&L=en
MILAN - Javier Zanetti was the first Nerazzurri player to speak to Inter Channel on the home defeat to Roma in the Week 2 match of the 2012/13 Serie A season: "We knew that our opponents would be good at taking advantage of the space we would leave from time to time. It’s just that tonight we did it too frequently. Then in the second half, when we were expecting things to go better, they got their second goal. We all need to focus on understanding what’s going on. We're just at the beginning. We still have to grow a lot and there’s much to correct. We have many new players and we have to understand just what the coach wants and how to put it into practise in order to start winning again. Roma have proven to be a very solid team and I think they can go far this season, and I hope we’re there too. The Giallorossi are not playing in Europe? Yes, it’s true this can work in their favour."
APPIANO GENTILE - Speaking to Marco Barzaghi in an exclusive interview on Sport Mediaset on Italia 2 from 19:00, Javier Zanetti briefly touched on Inter's early season form: "We need to improve our performances at the San Siro, but we've made a lot of changes and of course things can be difficult at the start. We need to get back to our best in front of our own fans. Do I think the media went a bit overboard with their comments after our defeat against Roma? It made me laugh, everyone saw the game, Inter played well until a point, then something happened and we couldn't score a goal."
The captain then had a quick message for Alessandro Del Piero, who yesterday officially signed for Sydney FC: "I'd like him to know I'm thinking of him. He's a great player and Italian football will miss him a lot."

Sunday, 16 September 2012 22:57
TURIN - Inter put in a solid display to emerge from a packed Stadio Olimpico with all three points after beating Torino 2-0. Milito stroked home in the 13th minute to give the Nerazzurri the lead, then Cassano came off the bench in the second half and put the game to bed on 83 minutes.
FIRST HALF – Handanovic returned from injury to make his league debut for the Nerazzurri while Stramaccioni opted for youth at the heart of defence in the shape of Ranocchia and Juan Jesus. Jonathan and Nagatomo completed the defensive line. Zanetti, Guarin, Cambiasso and Pereira made up the four-man midfield with Sneijder in the hole behind Milito.
Torino started strongly as they looked to reward the home fans, Sgrigna, Santana and Bianchi all getting into dangerous positions early on. Inter were struggling to get their game going but one half chance was all Milito needed to fire the Nerazzurri in front. Gazzi's poor control in the 13th minute inadvertently teed up the Prince on the edge of the box and the frontman smashed an unstoppable right-footed effort across goal into the corner.
Torino produced an immediate response as Ogbonna drove a shot in from outside the box, Handanovic diving to make the catch. Bianchi was booked for sliding in on Pereira with his studs up in the 22nd minute, a challenge that surely warranted a red.
Sneijder tested Gillet in the 26th minute with a brilliant curling free kick but the Toro custodian - like his opposite number - was limiting the scoreline to a single goal. Inter began closing down their opponents higher up the pitch and Toro were finding it increasingly difficult to get out of their own half.
However, Handanovic was called into to action to deny Bianchi six minutes before half time, then did well to snatch the ensuing corner away from Ogbonna. Down the other end, Guarin played Milito in on goal, the keeper saved but the flag was up anyway.
After three minutes of added time, Inter took a 1-0 lead into the dressing rooms at half time.
SECOND HALF – Jonathan made way for Alvarez during the break, the Argentine returning to first-team action after months on the sidelines following his knee problem.
Torino began the second period with intent and three minutes in Sgrigna struck the post, though he was offside. Brighi then drove forward down the middle before laying off for Sgrigna, who teed up Santana, before Ranocchia nipped in just to time to whisk the ball away (51 minutes). The defender stood tall at the back tonight, as did Juan Jesus.
Sneijder's long-range curler wasn't far off target a minute later, and Bianchi found himself in a good position just after the hour mark but shot down the middle, allowing Handanovic to gather easily.
Torino then put together a great counter-attacking move that ended with Bianchi hitting a stunning volley from Meggiorini's cross - fortunately straight at Handanovic's knee. And moments later another chance went begging for the Granata, as Meggiorni failed to hit the target after Ogbonna's ball.
Torino were on top for a while but after Cassano and Gargano had replaced Sneijder and Guarin, the Italy striker doubled Inter's lead in the 82nd minute. Alvarez zipped in a low cross, FantAntonio controlled and banged the ball home on the spin. His second goal in black and blue stripes.
That was enough to take the sting out of the hosts and after three minutes of stoppage time the Nerazzurri sealed their second away win of the campaign, taking them up to six points.

TURIN - "It was a big win at a tough ground. We'd prepared for the game intelligently and we were alert and focused." Captain Zanetti gave his post-match thoughts to Inter Channel from the Stadio Olimpico in Turin.
"This was a victory that came about thanks to the hard work we put in over the last two weeks. Inter were excellent tonight," the skipper added. "And now we're looking to get back to winning ways in Milan too. We're all doing what we can, but we need to manage our energy levels so that we go into every match in the best shape possible."
“这场胜利来源于我们过去两周艰苦的工作。国际米兰今晚的表现非常出色,”萨内蒂补充道,“现在我们要考虑如何在回到米兰后继续胜利。我们一直都在全力战斗,但我们需要分配好我们的能量,这样才能在每场比赛中都拿出最佳状态。”

TURIN – "I’m happy because the manager gave me 45 minutes and I didn't think I'd play that much," said Ricky Alvarez on his return to the team after his knee injury.
"It was the work and help of the medical staff and the physio team that got me out there. My cross for Cassano’s goal with Milito’s dummy? There's no doubting their quality," Alvarez smiled.
“我能够回到这里要感谢医疗团队和体能团队的工作。我的传中以及米利托的假动作和卡萨诺的进球?他们的能力是毋庸置疑的。”阿尔瓦雷斯微笑着说。 作者: 红蝶 时间: 2012-9-19 20:59 Milito: “Important Points, Now We Continue Like This”
Through the official Facebook page, Diego Milito expresses his positive thoughts on the win yesterday against Torino of Ventura.
“Three important points on the road and in a difficult stadium especially after the defeat against Roma, it was important to return to winning. Now concentration and continue like this.”
HANDANOVIC 6 - Nel primo tempo un solo intervento meritevole di segnalazione (botta dalla distanza di Ogbonna). Nella ripresa viene centrato da un tiro a colpo sicuro di Bianchi. Serata tutto sommato tranquilla.
JONATHAN 5,5 – Gioca solo un tempo senza lasciare traccia. Sulla corsia destra si fa trovare impreparato in un paio di circostanze e il gol del Principe nasce da… un suo errore!
(dal 46’ ALVAREZ 6 – il suo ingresso accresce il tasso tecnico della squadra).
RANOCCHIA 7 - Al quinto minuto della ripresa c’è tutto il nostro Andrea: prima sbaglia perdendosi l’uomo a metà campo poi, con maestria, recupera ottimamente su Santana. Qualche sbavatura ma nel complesso un’ ottima gara. Anzi, la migliore gara stagionale.
JUAN JESUS 7,5 – Inizia malissimo tenendo in gioco Santana lanciato a rete. Poi si scrolla di dosso la naturale emozione, mettendo in mostra pregevoli interventi e un buon senso della posizione. Viene ammonito ingiustamente per un fallo su Sgrigna ma questo non lo limita nelle puntuali e precise chiusure. Molto, ma molto bene!
NAGATOMO 6 - Il solito stantuffo. Qualche errorino ma, come al solito, grinta da vendere.
ZANETTI 6 – Si mette a disposizione del tecnico cercando di aiutare i compagni nelle varie fasi.
GUARIN 6 – Un primo tempo timido e senza particolari squilli. Nella ripresa sale in cattedra e, oltre alla consueta “presenza” regala palloni invitanti ai compagni. Nel finale sente un po’ la stanchezza e commette qualche sbaglio di troppo. Gara comunque positiva.
(dal 80’ GARGANO SV).
CAMBIASSO 7 - E’ il centrocampista più arretrato. Gioca praticamente in linea con i due centrali difensivi ma, quando lo sviluppo del gioco lo permette lo si vede anche in attacco. Come al solito dispensa suggerimenti ai compagni e quando c’è da stringere i denti è sempre in prima linea. Entra da protagonista anche nel gol di Cassano. Partita maiuscola
PEREIRA 6,5 - L’uruguagio è calciatore di cuore e polmoni. Se fosse un po’ più preciso nei disimpegni e nei cross sarebbe potenzialmente uno dei big di questa Inter. A sinistra bravo sia a centrocampo che in difesa.
SNEIJDER 6 - Cerca di rendersi utile in una posizione che non lo entusiasma. Gli mancano punti di riferimento nel reparto più avanzato e non sempre trova la posizione corretta. Va vicino al gol una volta per tempo: al 25’ su un’insidiosa punizione, al 51’ con un bel tiro a giro dalla distanza. Esce un po’ stizzito
(dal 66’ CASSANO 6,5 – secondo gol, sesto in carriera al Toro, e il bonus si avvicina…).
MILITO 6 - La scelta tattica di Stramaccioni non lo agevola. Al minuto 13 realizza un eurogol che permette all’Inter di incanalare la partita sui binari preferiti. Per il resto non la vede quasi mai.
ALL. STRAMACCIONI 6- – Lo schema iniziale non convince: Milito è troppo solo e le caratteristiche dei centrocampisti a disposizione non sono quelle che possono supportare al meglio il modulo tattico. Il gol di Milito toglie comunque le castagne dal fuoco. Rimandato.

很不幸,斯坦科维奇的脚踝伤势恶化了。最新的报告显示,五号的恢复期还将延长一个月。“我必须遗憾的说,这伤病困扰我太久,已经到了非手术不可的地步。我和队医和专家们谈过,我们希望这样办。我还不清楚何时能彻底康复,但我不会举白旗,我仍要为球队贡献力量。”

A Class TV, capitan Javier Zanetti ha discusso anche del suo futuro in società: "Il mio sogno è di rimanere nella famiglia dell'Inter, non l'ho mai nascosto (sorride, ndr). Vedremo, dovrò parlarne con Moratti. Un ruolo da vice presidente? Qualsiasi cosa deciderà, sarò sempre a disposizione dell'Inter. Questo è sicuro".
Intervistato da ClassTv, piattaforma di La 7, il capitano dell'Inter ha risposto a tutti coloro che hanno definito 'da provinciale' la prestazione dell'Inter di ieri. Ecco le parole di capitan Javier Zanetti: "A me interessa l'Inter, non cosa fanno o dicono gli altri - sbotta Zanetti -. Ho fiducia in questo gruppo e vogliamo rispondere sul campo. Non pensiamo al resto".
Una battuta anche su Cassano, che capitan Zanetti è corso ad abbracciare dopo il gol: "Antonio è importantissimo per noi, ieri ridevamo perché eravamo felici per il gol. Le avversarie non so quali possano essere, la Juventus è molto forte, il Milan si è rinnovato, ci sono anche Roma e Napoli. Vedremo sul campo cosa succederà".
Una battuta anche sul futuro: "Il mio sogno è di rimanere nella famiglia dell'Inter. Vedremo, dovrò parlarne con Moratti. Vice-presidente? Qualsiasi cosa deciderà, sarò sempre a disposizione dell'Inter".

9月19日阿皮亚诺詹蒂莱消息 - 国际米兰周三上午完成了备战欧联杯与喀山鲁宾比赛的最后一次训练。球员们进行了无球热身、控球训练、战术演练和训练赛。
“Yes, now I have decided and that I will play another year. To Juve I would say that we are onto them.”
Milan – In 2013 Javier Javier celebrates the most significant life in the life of a man and, in his case, a footballer: 40 years old and also 18 years at Inter. Whatever happens, he will be here at Inter for another year.
Cavalese, at the end of June in 1995, you weren’t even 20 years old arriving in Italy with a plastic bag just like you just came from a supermarket. What was in it?
“A pair of football boots which I had brought from Argentina. I only owned those.”
Now how many pairs do you have more or less?
“Let’s say more than a few.”
Do you what happened to Rambert?
“Last season he was the assistant of Ramon Diaz at River Plate but I don’t know what is going on with Rambert now.”
How did you celebrate your 18th birthday?
“We had a barbecue at home with friends. I did not practice that day: one of a few days of my life as a footballer that I did not practice.”
Forty years old: a milestone in a person’s life. How did you imagine of this moment when you were much younger?
“I tried to imagine it as a wonderful moment. I will have three children to celebrate with me. We will be in Como which is “our place in the world,” just like my wife Paula calls it. I will be very happy because I still play for Inter.”
So you have already decided: will you play another year?
“It is my intention and I think the same goes with Inter. Everything is leading to this direction.”
When did you decide?
“It was not a matter of a day but it happened in the period of ten consecutive victories. I was often asking myself: ‘Why would I not continue if I can still give a hand regardless of how much I play?’”
Not a lot of footballers at 40 years old that still be playing.
“There are many but not too many. If you still feel good and still can be useful then why not?”
So the famous name plate to be put on your office door at Inter headquarters won’t be ready until 2014?
“There is no name plate yet, and if there was one, it’d more likely go to the Pinetina and not Inter headquarters. Whatever I’ll do, I want to stay close to the team and possibly represent Inter at special events. No risk of stepping on Louis Figo’s toes.”
Being a vice president would be close enough to the team?
“I don’t know. That you have to ask Moratti.”
But isn’t him the one person that you have the most conversation with?
“Less than you think. Sometimes I speak with him at Pinetina. But it is not written anywhere that since one is the captain, he must speak with the president every day or should he be consulted in matters of the transfer market.”
Well, sometimes it happens…
“I have given some advice especially if it comes to my countrymen. However, much less than you think.”
What about Alvarez?
“To me, Ricky did not totally disappoint. He is struggling to find consistency. He could play ten games in a row then today we would say other things. Unfortunately, he is often injured but I would not say that he is soft. He always wants the ball and even though San Siro is not an easy stadium but he has never been afraid to continue asking for the ball.”
Will a change of scenery help him?
“I think that he will still be with us at the end of January. Then by the end of the season, Inter will evaluate the situation.”
Let’s go back to your opinions, let’s imagine you were asked about selling Balotelli back then. Did subsequent events prove Inter right?
“Nobody ever doubted Mario’s abilities, only his behavior. That seems to have remained the same even after leaving Inter. Clearly it had nothing to do with us and I don’t know if anybody could say that he was misunderstood at Inter, or that we didn’t support him.”
So you only speak to Moratti every now and then. What about Stramaccioni?
“We talk a lot, at least as much as with Leonardo, but we were friends way before Leo came to Inter. They’re the two coaches with whom I’ve had the most input, even if my relationship with Mourinho and Simoni was very close, but not based on a constant dialogue.”
Javier Zanetti was born in Buenos Aries (Argentina) on August 10, 1973. The defender and midfielder stands at 1.78 meters and weighs 75 kilograms. Before landed at Inter, he played with two Argentinian sides in Talleres (1992-1993) and Banfield (1993-1995). He’s been Inter captain since 1999.
1995 – On June 5, 1995, two young Argentinians arrived at Inter: defender Javier Zanetti and striker Sebastian Rambert. Only one of the two had the fortune.
2010 – The most successful year was obviously in 2010, the treble season with Mourinho: Serie A, Coppa Italia and Champions League. The final was in Madrid against Bayern.
The future – One of Zanetti’s objective is the ranking in Serie A apperances. Now he ranks third with 587 matches behind Pagliuca (592) and Paolo Maldini (647). Javier has overcome Zoff (570), Vierchowod (562), Mancini (541) and Piola (537). If he plays all the matches in the league this year and next year, he would arrive at 645 Serie A matches…
What did Stramaccioni say about Simoni, Mourinho and Leonardo?
“About Simoni is the will to build a united and persistent group. Mourinho is cunning, in a good way: about certain things, like they said, the coach is always ahead. About Leonardo is his confidence and staying positive even in difficulties.”
The day before Inter-Siena, for the first time Stramaccioni had to tell you “you’re not playing tomorrow.” Were you terrified?
“So far it hasn’t happened often, to be honest back in July I thought it’d be more frequent. I mean, come on, Stramaccioni was clearly worried that day, I told him, ‘Coach, no problem.’ He knew already though, in July I had reassured him that I would never cause any trouble for him.”
Have you assured him that he will not regret having given such long holidays?
“Except that in July, we were the first team to start preparation. It is not true that we will play against Udinese after four days of training and we are not coming back after like ten days on holidays. Our coaching staff gave us work programs and I am sure that the majority of the group respect those instructions.”
How come this year you did not propose an “auto-fine” like you did last year in case of a disappointing resumption of the league?
“Last year I don’t think that the majority of the group worked well on their holidays. But this year, yes.”
Will you put Sneijder in that “majority of the group”? How will this story end?
“The only who who can decide this is him. He must speak clearly and be honest: if he wants to stay, a solution will be found. I would say that choose from the heart. He knows that the group has never left him alone.”
But even if he decides to stay, isn’t there a risk that it’s too late? All events happened last month have left a big mark?
“If he comes back and says, ‘Let’s look forward for the good of Inter,’ then there will be no problems. But he must be the first to not carry grudges.”
Why did you only receive 8 points in the last seven games?
“Surely not because that we relaxed after the victory in Turin. I think it’s fatigue, injuries, and a bit of bad luck.”
The referees?
“Third disqualification without a direct red card, Ranocchia after Cassano and Guarin, I think that a little more common sense would not hurt.”
As a captain, will you say to your teammates to be more careful of what coming out of their mouth?
“We’ve talked about that between us but I honestly do not feel that this team is being rude or disrespectful to the referees. Indeed, I know that some people have done worse than us and it is inevitable to weigh two situations, to measures, together, it is not hard to become suspicious that certain rules only apply to us.”
Nine points behind Juve. Too many?
“A good advantage for them but in football, you never know. We will only think of ourselves and at the end, we will find us among those who will play in the next Champions League and not how many points we’ve recovered on Juve.”
But being the anti-Juve is a burden?
“No, even though that we never claimed to be so. Juve deserve to be first and if they continue like this then hats off to them.”
If Messi continues like this, will he be able to reach Maradona?
“I think he has already done it because of the things he’s done and he’s done so three, four years in a row now. My jaw not only drops for what he demonstrates on the field but also because where he can be next. Messi is one that does not have a roof. Sky is a limit for him.”
Speaking as a midfielder, is there a need for a midfielder at Inter? Schelotto could be the right one as Paulinho seems to be a distant dream…
“A midfielder can come in handy and Schelotto can be a nice change for the wingers as well as one that gives a change of pace. Negotiating with Atalanta is easier than with Corinthians because it seems to me that Paulinho is not so convinced to move now: it is more easy to talk about him in six months.”
Is Rocchi a good reinforcement for the attack?
“An intelligent striker especially when he plays deep. He knows Italian football: the alternative that we needed. I hope that he arrives here.”
Milito and Palacio would feel less the weight of responsibility?
“I think that they have been the most adversely affected by our loss in fluidity, brillance and the ability to create chances. Diego, perhaps, has paid a little bit more due to fatigue. He is one of the players that spends the most time on the field. Rodrigo was perhaps not used to playing so often. He needed time to adapt to the needs of a team like Inter.”
Can you tell us a secrete that you never reveal in these years in Italy?
“You know how people always talk about my hair and how it is always perfect. You know that my barber since 18 years old, named Marco, is a huge Milan fanatic?”
