Internazionale vs Parma Report
Diego Milito scores twice as Inter Milan slaughter Parma at the San Siro to extend their winning streak to five matches.
Inter Milan moved within five points of league leaders AC Milan after thrashing Parma 5-0 at the San Siro stadium on Saturday, courtesy of two goals from Argentine hit-man Diego Milito and others from Thiago Motta, Giampaolo Pazzini and Marco Faraoni.It was an extremely one-sided affair, as Inter completely dominated their opponents from the beginning to the end. Claudio Ranieri's side were always in control, and they went ahead in the 12th minute when Milito poked home a superb left-wing cross from fellow Argentine Ricardo Alvarez.
Five minutes later, midfielder Thiago Motta met a rebound with an unstoppable left-footed drive from outside of the area that left Parma goalkeeper Antonio Mirante with no chance.
Internazionale vs Parma Preview
Inter Milan will be looking to extend their winning streak to five matches when they take on Parma at the San Siro on Saturday.
Inter Milan will be hoping to extend their unbeaten record to five games when they take on Parma at the San Siro stadium on Saturday. The Nerazzurri have returned to their best after a dismal beginning to their campaign, and currently lie in fifth position with 26 points, eight points behind league leaders and crosstown rivals AC Milan.If Inter manage to overcome Parma, who find themselves in 13th place and winless in their last five games, they will be in confident mood to confront their final two matches of the first round which are incidentally against two of their direct rivals in AC Milan and Lazio.
Inter are the overwhelming favourites to claim the three points, however, Claudio Ranieri will have to make do without the services of Dutch playmaker Wesley Sneijder and Uruguayan striker Diego Forlan, while both Jonathan and Cristian Chivu are in doubt for the clash at the San Siro.
A Look Ahead to the Champions League Draw on Friday
The most ‘even’ Champions League draw will be taking place on the 16th of December.
Italy is the nation with most sides in the round of 16. Germany, Spain, Russia, England and France each are represented by two sides in the competition. Cyprus, Switzerland and Portugal are each represented by one team. All these teams have made their passages through tough groups with perhaps the exception of Barcelona and AC Milan. These two sides were drawn with Plzen and Bate, two relative novices at this level, in the group stage.Nonetheless, Barca and Milan must be given credit for qualifying as the novices have risen this season. Whereas experienced competitors such as Manchester United, Villarreal, Porto and Valencia have gone out, the likes of Apoel Nicosia and FC Basel have progressed into the knockout stages.
Wesley Sneijder Would Fit Perfectly In United Midfield – Rene Meulensteen
The summer transfer window is still heating up with more deals and debatable statements popping up, and many are wishing that Wesley Sneijder could turn into Manchester United’s midfield maestro.
As part of their operation to find a replacement for the retired Paul Scholes, the Red Devils have been making much effort in signing midfielders with high reputation. On their list was Tottenham’s Luka Modric, but with the Croatian international being unlikely to land at the Old Trafford, the attention is now seriously on Inter Milan’s Wesley Sneijder.The Dutchman has played a big role for the Nerazzurri since his arrival at the San Siro, and his services are consequently nothing but expensive and wanted. While transfer negotiations could in fact break down, Manchester United’s assistant manager has revealed that Sneijder would be the perfect player to take over Scholes’ position.
Selling Lucio To Inter Milan Was A Big Mistake Bayern Munich Made - Roy Makaay
Makaay believes that Bayern Munich lack a defensive powerhouse at the back and they should have never sold Lucio
Fomer Bayern Munich striker Roy Makaay claims that the weakness in the Bavarian outfit comes from the back, where there has been a piece of jigsaw missing since Lucio was sold to Inter Milan."Back in the centre of defence, I [would] never have sold Lucio. He was one of the best central defenders with whom I played. At that time a decision was made to sell - it doesn't matter by whom - and now they have just noticed that he is missing."
Bayern had an average season last term, finishing third in the Bundesliga and getting knocked out of Europe in the second round by Inter Milan. Now, they have started a rebuilding process by capturing Manuel Neuer and Rafinha- moves that will significantly improve their defence. However, Makaay also believes that other factors have been affecting them as well.
Manchester United Transfer Rumors: Devils Set To Miss Out On Sneijder?
Wesley Sneijder has reiterated his intention to remai with Inter Milan next season and this could be a massive blow to United's hopes of replacing Paul Scholes.
Manchester United were apparently in for Wesley Sneijder as they intensified their search for a perfect replacement for Paul Scholes. However, all their intentions have now reached a major stumbling block as the player himself is keen to remain with Inter Milan next season."There is a family atmosphere at Inter and there are all the ingredients to aim high," he said, according to Corriere dello Sport.
"Milan is marvellous, picturesque and full of elegance. I love it. At the moment I am very happy here and I don't see why I should leave."
Real Madrid Transfer Rumors: Kaka Brushes Off Inter Milan Speculations
Kaka is adamant about staying at the Santiago Bernabeu after he squashed speculation linking him with a move to Inter Milan.
Kaka's speculated departure from Real Madrid has been one of hotly debated topic in recent times but while there has been some reported interest from Inter Milan, Kaka believe that his future lies nowhere but with Madrid.“Frankly, my wish is to stay. Before I came to Brazil, Mourinho and the leaders at Madrid told me to spend a quiet holiday ahead of the pre-season.
"They knew that there would be lot of speculation because there have been rumours ever since I arrived [at Madrid]. But I really want to stay and I will stay.”
5-Year-Old Champions League Formula Makes Barcelona Favourites, Not Man United
In view of the fact that Manchester United will be facing Barcelona in England, the Red Devils could be considered slight favourites, but an effective formula says otherwise.
Some believe it is “Best Coach vs Best Team”, others believe it is “Experience vs Accuracy”. Regardless, both Champions League finalists may be in great form and have the needed support, but it presently seems destiny will benefit La Liga champions.“Whoever loses to the eventual champion in the semi-finals comes back the following season to snatch the trophy…”
Yes, it all began in the 2005/2006 Champions League season, when Barcelona went on to lift the trophy—their first European title of the century. In April 2006, the Catalans defeated a strong AC Milan side 1-0 on aggregate to qualify into the final—only to triumph over Arsenal 2-1 in France.
The Italian giants then bounced back in the ensuing season and successfully achieved their goal. As they were placed against Manchester United in the semi-finals of the 2006/07 Champions League, the San Siro soldiers gave their all to dominate at home 3-0, after they shockingly lost 3-2 in the first leg at the Old Trafford. The Rossoneri consequently fought English giants Liverpool in the final, but “incompetence” from the referee and his assistants was just enough for them to rule their opponents and lift the cup.
Inter Milan vs Palermo Preview
Palermo have the chance to win the Coppa Italia after thirty-two years when they take on Inter in the final on Sunday.
Despite the encompassing interest around Javier Pastore from various clubs, and the racist abuse against Samuel Eto’o off the field, Palermo and Inter will take the field in earnest during Sunday’s Coppa Italia final at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.In some seasons, the Coppa Italia, even in the latter stages, inspires only passing interest. However, given that Palermo will be competing in the tournament’s final after thirty-two years, and that Sunday represents the last chance for Inter to land a domestic trophy this season, the game has amplified significance.
Palermo had to beat newly-crowned Italian champions Milan in the semi-final to earn their chance to ease the pain of 1979, the year they lost to Juventus in the final. Inter, winners of this competition three times in the last six years, finished six points behind Milan in the standings, but winning the Coppa Italia will provide a measure of satisfaction.
El Clasico & History: Jose Mourinho vs Barcelona – From Amity To Rivalry
Real Madrid’s Jose Mourinho is perhaps Barcelona’s most potent enemy, but in a different scenario, the recent Clasico winner could well have been in the shoes of Guardiola, as Barca’s coach.
The relationship linking Mourinho to Barcelona has not always been as rigid as it currently seems. The Portuguese manager was once looked upon as a key participant in the future of the Catalan team by the club’s board; but unpredictable changes wholly altered the situation, making Mourinho give his heart to the Blaugrana’s bitter archrivals: Real Madrid.
In truth to be told, damages in the Special One’s friendship with Barcelona gradually took place over a period of years, and it was the last months before his arrival in Real that marked the permanent end of the companionship between Mourinho and his one-time allies. There will surely never ever be any happening that will restore the dead connection that previously looked so promising in the eyes of the Azulgranas. Future episodes related to the saga remain a mystery for now, but one thing is currently certain: forthcoming Clasicos will do nothing but heat up the enmity that has drawn Jose Mourinho so far away from Barcelona.

Inter Milan vs Schalke: Much To Expect From Inter Without Jose Mourinho
The defending European champions will come up against the Miners in the Inter Milan vs Schalke match this evening, and even without the Special One Mourinho, Inter still have a chance to triumph.
The Serie A title holders were metamorphosed into an untouchable side last season, after they grabbed the treble under the leadership of Coach Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese manager led the club to their third European title, and their journey to continental success was not the easiest one of all. Inter faced superpowers Barcelona, Chelsea and Bayern Munich on their way to the top, yet in some ways, they were just too commanding for their giant opponents.After Mourinho left Inter Milan to take on new duties at Real Madrid, the Italians began to sink under the direction of former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez. Unsatisfying results in the league and lack of buoyancy eventually pushed the club’s leaders to elect a new manager: Leonardo.
