DERBY TIME! Inter x Milan

What the hell was wrong with our players last night!!!????
They had a one man lead and they didnt create a singl 100% chance, disaster!!!!
Ref made some huge mistakes such as the handball by Maicon, his diving, he was supposed to get a yellow card for those diving, from which occassion Inter score the second goal.
The fouls agains Ronaldinho and Boriello at 16m, didnt sanctioned, and the rest of the game he was compansationg for the red card and killing Milans game by refering everything for Inter.
But still Milan players were wery desperate, no ideas, no hart for playing and wining the derby.
Thats why as first Milan desperatly need a high class defender, stop playing around with players that are 33,34,35+ years (Dida, Favali, Kaladze, Jankuloski, Nesta, Zambrota, Oddo) with this players u cant beat inter or MU or win the Scudeto and the CHL, UNDERSTAND this!!!
Second a high class Midfilder same players 33,34,35+ ( Gatuzo, Seedorf, Beckam, Ambrossini).
Third Milan dont need a stricker cause they have Pato, Borriello,Inzagi and Huntelar who by the way need a chance, his at same level as Dzeko and Milan are prepared to give 40milion euro come on, use this money for a goalkeeper, defender or midfielder, so we can see Milan again winning.
FORZA MILAN

The ref was horrible as usual. He sent off two players, yes, but then made amends for it by letting Merda dive after dive (one led to the second goal) go ignored.

We didn't deserve the PK either, and it's only fitting that we blew that as well.

God, you're such a sad sack. Now that Kalac's gone, I guess Huntelaar's your new boytoy.

lol exactly my thoughts...

also I am surprised how some fans here are totally on a rollercoster of emotions.
all those comments about how Borriello, Abate and Antonini aren't good enough are rubbish. Abate surely needs more experience, but he can be great in the future and he is great against small teams already.

What this suppose to mean?! Everyone here knows that Abate is joke in defense. I just pointed out that playing Milito close to Abate was tactics to avoid offside traps as Abate is least "good" of our back four in positional sense and that Abate played him in for the goal, which is true. I didn't mentioned his mistake, i.e. heading the ball right into Milito, but his bad positioning on offside trap that played Milito in, or, if you will understand it better, if Abate was positioned one meter closer to the middle of the pitch, Milito would be offside.

And if you really want to know, yes, I think that Zambrotta would do a better job, I didn't thought that anyone here thinks that Abate is better RB than Zambrotta. Even now, he's not good even to polish the great man shoes.

Inter Defender Marco Materazzi Explains Silvio Berlusconi Mask Celebration
The Italian claims he meant no harm in wearing a mask of Silvio Berlusconi..


Inter defender Marco Materazzi has explained his Silvio Berlusconi mask celebration following the 2-0 win over Milan, brushing it off as just a bit of post-match banter.

Materazzi was seen wearing a mask in the form of Berlusconi's face after the derby - an action that stirred up some debate around the San Siro.

However, the stopper claims there was no malice in his intentions, but just some light-hearted humour rather than a political duck hunt. While most of the fans inside the stadium chuckled, it was no laughing matter for the Rossoneri.

"It was just a derby prank, nothing more," the Italian told his official website.

"There was not intention to cause any trouble or to offend, and there was no political intention.

"As always, what Materazzi does always causes a stir, even though I wore a carnival mask that can be bought anywhere and by anyone. It was to celebrate the win last night.

"I am sure that Silvio Berlusconi, whom I know, will have smiled when he saw me."

Sky Sport Italia claim the Italian's actions could land him in a less than comical mess with the Italian authorities as the incident was reported by the referee to the Lega Calcio's sports judge.

The only way Leo can be blamed is sticking with the wrong set up or tactic which is in no way suited to speedy counter attacking. I wouldn't call it naive or other stronger words but a mistake. Rino is nowhere near the ball winner that he was, Abate not the defensive force required, etc.

I only watched the first half and I think, the mistake of Leonardo was that he thought our defense was a regular formation but one of the biggest influence of our strong defense, Nesta, was absent (in addition Leo used offensive tactic with two fullbacks going forward constantly). We have only average fullbacks (one of them is newbie at fullback) with good performances before the game and these two fullbacks should be covered by two very good DCs. Inter forwards played very well, they did kill us with our shaky defense.

I believe that Nesta and Silva make the two fullbacks look stronger/better than they really are (I know that they have played well). Our best DCs are the key of our performance this season IMO (without forgetting Leonardo's tactic and other players' contribution).

I still don't get why some of you are blaming the defeat on Leo, or Galli or Berlu or Abate or whomever... Can we all just admit that Inter played a better game than Milan two nights ago and that they deserve to win the match. Give credits to Inter defense and midfield for not allowing any room for Pirlo, Ambro and Dinho. For all the attacking power...that Milan is about throughout the season, they could not score against 10 men for over 65mins of the game. Yes, you can say that Inter played cheap and be defensive, blah blah blah, but what do you expect a team playing with 10 men to do-attack? On top of that, INter played the majority of the match with two strikers instead of one.
I know it is hard to admit that Inter was the better team, but the fact is-Inter was better.

If Milan could do better, why not? It is not to blame Leo, but for me Leo could do better. Inter did not own the game even they still had 11 players on the field but Maurinho used proper tactic with of course good squad.

I personally appereciate Leo (but not Galliani ) for what he has done. He still managed to get good result with low investment to the team but there is still room for him to improve and I am not against it.

Agree with everything you said.

Sorry to double post, but thought this was a very interesting article about the derby

Sneijder seems to be the only guy in Inter to have some kind of class ...

He admitted in an interview that he knew he would receive a red card and that it was logical because he overreacted twice against the referee ... so for him, no mistake from the referee on this red card.
Mourinho, Morrati and all other losers from Inter can now shut their mouthes instead of saying all referees are against them (which is the funniest thing I ever read).

I like Albertinis response

I'm sure Sneijder does not honestly believe that, but he probably just does not want to get the club into more trouble by speaking further ill of the referees. Sarcastically applauding a referee has never been a straight red card. A yellow, yes...but never a red.

I think what this goes to show is that there is no secret agenda for the referees for a particular team but rather, that the refereeing is just downright horrible recently. there were strange decisions given for and against both teams throughout the game.

He didn't say he took the red card because he applauded the referee, he said that it was logical because he firstly overreacted when the referee touched the ball (he probably insulted the referee, that lasted 2 minutes ...), let's say that the fact that he ironically applauded a (good) decision from the referee was the thing not to do after that.
