Cursed Diego Milito Angry, But Inter Milan Coach Backs Player
Having scored no goals but one own goal this season, Inter Milan’s star striker Diego Milito is angry. But Coach Rafael Benitez is confident of happy days ahead for the European footballer of the Year…
Since rounding up Inter Milan’s 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich in the final of the 2009/2010 UEFA Champions League, the Argentine forward hasn’t found the back of the net in a competitive fixture. Against Atletico Madrid in the European Super Cup earlier in August, Diego Milito wasted a penalty as Inter Milan went on to lose 2-0 to their opponents. Now in five matches this season, the striker hasn’t scored a single goal and he has been substituted in each of Inter Milan’s Serie A games. Last weekend, the treble winners played Palermo in the league but Diego Milito didn’t last on the pitch until full time as he was called off by Inter Milan manager Rafael Benitez.
The Argentine was spotted asking, ‘why is it that I’m always the one to come off?’.
