Inter Tanpa Sneijder Hadapi Rubin Kazan

Kondisi fisik yang masih belum fit memaksa jendral lapangan tengah sekaligus kreator serangan Inter, Wesley Sneijder, absen dalam matchday keduaLiga Champions menghadapi Rubin Kazan. Football Italia memberitakan bahwa gelandang timnas Belanda tersebut mengalami masalah pada pinggangnya dan belum pulih. Sebelumnya dia juga tak tampil saat Inter dikalahkan oleh Sampdoria di pentas Serie A.

Di matchday yang akan berlangsung 29 September 2009 di Stadion Tsentralnyi, Kazan, Mou juga tidak membawa David Suazo dan Thiago Motta. Di atas kertas, Nerazzurri seharusnya tidak mengalami kesulitan menghadapi Kazan, namun ketidakhadiran Sneijder bagi saya cukup mengurangi kekuatan Inter, terbukti pekan lalu mereka dipermalukan Sampdoria tanpa kehadiran Sneijder. Memang Inter masih memiliki gelandang-gelandang berkualitas dunia, namun peran gelandang yang baru didatangkan dari Real Madrid itu sangat krusial. Tentu saja Internisti berharap la beneamata mampu memperoleh poin penuh setelah ditahan imbang tanpa gol oleh Barcelona di matchday pertama, Forza Inter.....Berikut daftar skuad yang dibawa Mou pada matchday ini :

Goalkeepers: 1 Francesco Toldo, 12 Julio Cesar, 21 Paolo Orlandoni.

Defenders: 2 Ivan Ramiro Cordoba, 4 Javier Zanetti, 6 Lucio, 13 Maicon, 25 Walter Samuel, 26 Cristian Chivu, 39 Davide Santon.

Midfielders: 5 Dejan Stankovic, 7 Ricardo Quaresma, 11 Sulley Muntari, 14 Patrick Vieira, 15 Rene Krhin, 19 Esteban Cambiasso, 30 Alessandro Amantino Mancini.

Strikers: 9 Samuel Eto'o, 22 Diego Milito, 45 Mario Balotelli.

Giornata 6 : Sampdoria 1 - 0 Inter

What a nightmare !!!! Nerrazurri bertandang ke Luigi Ferraris,kandang Sampdoria pada Giornata ke 6 mengalami kekalahan pertama musim ini. Inter harus merelakan tampuk klasemen pada Il Samp. Pazzini lah yang membuat Inter bermimpi buruk melalui gol semata wayangnya di menit ke 72. Sebenarnya Inter juga memiliki peluang untuk mencetak gol.

Esteban Cambiasso membuka peluang pertama bagi Inter di menit ke 23 setelah menerima umpan dari Diego Milito. Namun sayang tendangan first time Cambiasso dapat ditepis oleh Luca Castelazzi, kiper Il Samp. Menit ke 28 Castelazzi kembali mementahkan peluang Inter melalui Milito setelah melewati tiga pemain Sampdoria.

Sampdoria juga punya peluang melalui tendangan jarak jauh 27 meter oleh Reto Ziegler yang dapat di mentahkan oleh Julio Cesar. Babak pertama pun berakhir tanpa gol.

Di babak kedua Inter kembali mendapatkan peluang melalui Mario Balotelli. Tendangan kerasnya masih bisa ditepis Castelazzi dan menghasilkan rebound yang gagal dimanfaatkan oleh Milito. Menit ke 70 Diego Milito kembali mengirim umpan untuk membuka peluang Inter, namun peluang itu gagal dimanfaatkan Eto’o, karena tendangannya masih melebar.

Mimpi buruk Inter datang di menit 72 ketikan mannini mengirim umpan pada Pazzini dan berhasil dikonversikan menjadi gol ke gawang Julio Cesar yang sudah mati langkah. Lucio sempat mencetak gol namun terperangkap jebakan offside. Kekalahan ini membuat Inter turun ke peringkat 3 dengan point 13 dibawah Sampdoria 15 dan Juventus 14 yang menempati peringkat 1 dan 2.

Cordoba Ivan Ramiro

height: 173 cm weight: 70 kg
An extremely efficient and correct man marker, Cordoba is extraordinarily clean when making tackles and is very reliable when required to get back quickly.Physically very powerful, he is a good jumper despite his short height.

Giuseppe Materazzi won domestic and international fame as a coach, having guided teams such as Pisa, Lazio, Bari, Padova, Brescia, Piacenza, Sporting Lisbon and Chinese side Tianjin Teda. Marco began his playing career at amateur level on the dusty pitches of the Sicilian Serie C. In the 2000/01 season, Materazzi equalled the scoring record for a defender in the Italian Serie A with 12 goals for Inter. The record was previously held by Argentine Daniel Passarella, who scored 11 goals for Fiorentina during the 1985/86 season. Marco made his international debut on 25 April 2001 in Italy's 1-0 win against South Africa in a friendly match and was in the Azzurri squad at Japan/Korea 2002 and at Euro2004. It was Materazzi's coach at Perugia, Ilario Castagner, who recommended former national team coach Trapattoni to put him in defence. "I had already suggested Marco's name to Trapattoni's collaborator Ghedin," said Castagner about the defender. "He's deserved a chance like that for a long time.". And Materazzi certainly took his chances for Italy at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, with a series of polished performances in defence and vital goals against Czech Republic in the group stage and France in the final as the Azzurri went on to win the tournament.

country: Rumania
born in: Resita October 26 1980
height: 184 cm weight: 81 kg
