INTER BOSS HAILS PERFORMANCE

Posted on by admin

The Inter Milan manager Andrea Stramaccioni has hailed the performance of his team after they secured the fifth straight win in all competitions. Andrea Stramaccioni was appointed as a replacement for Claudio Ranieri midway through last season. Many suspected of the ability of the former youth team manager to be able to lead a team full of stars like Diego Milito. However, he has not only been able to get most of the players on his side, but he has also been able to reduce the age and wage bill of the club this season. He has, however, not allowed this to affect the results this season.

In fact, Inter Milan have been at their impressive over the last few weeks then they have been in the last three seasons. The 3-1 win over Bologna during the weekend once again asserted the fact that Inter Milan will be able to challenge both Juventus and Napoli for the title at the end of the season, despite many rejecting them as just Europa league contenders for this season. Inter Milan last suffered a defeat back in September and have since won all the matches in all competitions. This has put them third place in the Italian Serie A table with 21 points on board.

“In my opinion it was a great performance. We are moving forward, and I am pleased with the progress we are making. I’m trying to do my part. I’m proud to be Inter’s coach. When a team wins eight away matches it’s a sign of unity. It means that we are focused and motivated,” said the Inter Milan manager after the win over Bologna. The most important match for Inter Milan in the league this season will be coming in the form of the away trip to Juventus a fortnight away.

SNEIJDER WANTS TO STAY

Posted on by admin

The Inter Milan midfielder Wesley Sneijder has said that he is not interested in securing a move away from the Italian club and wants to stay till 2016. Wesley Sneijder still has four years left on his huge contract. He was once the target of many clubs like Manchester United and Barcelona, but due to his age and the contract factor, he has not been discussed as the potential huge transfer in the summer. The Dutchman has said that he is more than happy to stay at the club. Inter Milan will not be playing in the Champions League this season, while many expect them not to challenge for the title at least for the next few seasons.

After spending a lot of money in the route towards winning the Champions League back in 2010, Inter Milan have been forced to cut their costs in the last few seasons. Wesley Sneijder has also been linked with a return to Real Madrid, who sold him for only £ 13 million a few seasons ago. However, the Dutchman is expected to cost a lot of money after playing an integral part in helping the Dutch national team play in the World Cup final 2010.

“I want to stay at Inter. I have never, never thought about leaving Inter. I like the team, the city, the club, and I also like the coach. Never say never, but now it’s too soon to think about this. I have a deal with Inter until 2015 and I want, as a minimum, to remain until the end of the contract. He understands players, like president (Massimo) Moratti. Stramaccioni talks a lot with me, about everything. This lets me feel his faith and this is good for each player,” said Wesley Sneijder in response to the transfer speculation.

QPR CHASE CESAR

Posted on by admin

The QPR owner Tony Fernandes has revealed that the club are looking to sign the Inter Milan goalkeeper Julio Cesar. The Brazilian international goalkeeper was one of the key members of the squad that won the Champions League back in 2010. However, his form has suffered in recent seasons and he has also been close to losing his spot in the international team. As a result, the 32-year-old believes that a move away from the San Siro will be beneficial in his career because it will help him rediscover his form that once made him the world’s best goalkeeper.

However, none would have thought that the Premier league club QPR would have imagined as a surprise destination after it was revealed by the owner that the club are in talks with the Brazil international over the proposed move. QPR have been extremely active in the transfer window bringing in the likes of José Bosingwa and Ricardo Carvalho. If Julius Caesar indeed signs for the club, then he could become the next major high-profile signing. Despite this new signings, QPR began the new season with a 5-0 home defeat at the hands of Swansea. It is something that the club will be hoping to recover from soon enough.

“None of those deals that have been reported have actually been done. We have been talking on many, many fronts. When they’re done we’ll announce them, if they’re done. But there have been many things we have been trying to do over the last eight days. I’d rather not comment. We are in discussions but QPR have got to run a sensible business. I think people out there think we are just throwing money and panic buying, all these kinds of words I hear. I think we are very calm at what we want,” said the QPR owner.

INTER MIGHT SELL MAICON

Posted on by admin

Italian club Inter Milan are looking at the possibility of selling right back Maicon in order to raise transfer funds, which can be spent elsewhere on improving the team. Brazilian international Maicon is regarded as one of the best right backs in the world. His attacking prowess is something that Inter Milan rely heavily upon. He was one of the main members of the squad that helped Inter Milan lift the Champions League title two seasons ago. However, the 30-year-old defender could be set for a move away from the San Siro after it was revealed that Inter Milan are struggling with a lot of debt.

This coupled with the fact that they have missed out on the opportunity to play in the group stages of the Champions League next season mean that selling Maicon will be one of the means to raise up to £ 30 million. Even though Inter Milan will be unlikely to sell the player for up to £ 30 million, they are hoping that they can raise substantial cash as a result of his transfer. Barcelona and Chelsea were credited with interest in the right back a few seasons ago, but it remains to be seen if they will pursue their interest this time around.

“We first have to decide if we want to sell Maicon. Only then can we evaluate what to do. PSG are nevertheless building a superb team,” said Inter Milan President Massimo Moratti. “Inter are negotiating. For seven million, Silvestre will remain with us. We paid seven million plus half of the sporting rights of another player that was worth two million. If a club like Inter wants him only for seven million then the player will remain with us,” said Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini regarding the negotiations with Inter Milan for defender Matias.

ANDREA UNSURE ON FUTURE

Posted on by admin

Inter Milan interim manager Andrea Stramaccioni is of the opinion that the club has already made a decision on his future. Inter Milan decided to promote youth team coach Andrea Stramaccioni in order to handle the first-team affairs for the remainder of the season after the sacking of former Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri.

However, Andrea Stramaccioni has done quite impressive job since taking over from Ranieri. He has now managed to put Inter Milan as one of the front-runners for finishing in the third position, which will ensure Champions League qualification for the club next season. It is very much the need of the hour for Inter Milan given the way they have been struggling with a lot of financial difficulties in recent seasons.

In order to win the Champions League along with the famous treble a few seasons ago, Inter Milan spent a lot of money on players like Sneijder and Diego Milito. Even though they have been spectacular signings, their astronomical wage bills can be supported only with regular appearance in the group stages of the Champions League. The appearance of the club in the group stages alone will guarantee them around £ 20 million-£ 25 million. Hence, there have been many calls for Andrea Stramaccioni’s position to make permanent, although the manager himself is of the opinion that his future has already been decided.

“President Massimo Moratti is free to choose what he thinks is best and I think he’s already made a decision. I believe he knows what he wants to do. I won’t go back to the youth team. I could have spent a second season with them had all of this not happened this term. In terms of my own personal development, it would not be right for me to go back there,” Stramaccioni told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

INTER ACT FAST

Posted on by admin

Inter Milan have decided to act swiftly in order to ensure their abilities to play in the Champions League next season, as they have sacked manager Claudio Ranieri after a string of poor results in the domestic and European competitions.

Inter Milan appointed former Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri in place of the Argentine Gian Piero Gasperini at the start of the season. Inter were struggling down near the relegation zone, but Ranieri managed to rescue Inter. However, results have gone extremely poor in the last few weeks. Inter Milan were also recently knocked out of the Champions League in the last 16 stage by French club Marseille.

The club recently lost the crunch match with Juventus, which was the final straw for the owner Massimo Moratti. Following the defeat, Inter Milan are a massive 22 points behind the leaders AC Milan in the table, while their prospects of qualifying for the Champions League also looks a major doubt. The club are currently in the seventh position in the table. It is understood that Inter Milan are looking at the possibility of appointing former Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas, but are willing to wait until the summer in order to look at more possibilities

“President Massimo Moratti and everyone at Inter Milan would like to thank Claudio Ranieri and his staff for their professionalism, dedication and honesty during their time in charge of the team,” said a statement on the official website of Inter Milan. Until the appointment of a permanent manager, Inter Milan have appointed youth team coach Andrea Stramaccioni in his place. One of the first jobs for Andrea Stramaccioni will be to guide the team to Champions League qualification, which is essential considering the huge financial problems that are affecting Inter Milan in recent seasons.

INTER STILL STRUGGLING

Posted on by admin

Inter Milan were plunged into further misery when they suffered their third straight defeat in a row when they fell to an embarrassing 0 – 3 defeat at the San Siro to Bologna.

It left Inter being in a position where they had only claimed 1 point from the last 15 that were available, and the crowd voiced their dissatisfaction at the final whistle by jeering and chanting previous manager Jose Mourinho’s name, a man who had delivered the Champions League and Serie A title to the San Siro faithful.

Inter have found themselves in unusual positions so far this season, and the fact that they have only accrued 36 points from 24 games is well below the standards they normally set. The fact that they still sit in 6th position at this stage of the season is sure to send alarm bells ringing through the ears of the Inter Milan board, especially considering that they are the reigning league champions.

Manager Claudio Ranieri is feeling the heat as the pressure on his shoulders increase dramatically, and the sequence of 7 wins in a row back in January, including a victory against their rivals AC Milan, couldn’t feel longer ago. However, Ranieri has come out and refused to quit, saying that he is focussed on helping his team bounce back strongly.

However, the pressure appears to be mounting from above, with club president Massimo Moratti reported to have left the stadium at only half time, with Inter already trailing by 2 goals. Ranieri also claimed that he took positives from the game, claiming that at times a balance and tactical unity was found which was truly exceptional.

MILAN BATTLE FOR TEVEZ

Posted on by admin

Manchester City contract rebel Carlos Tevez has sparked off a transfer tug of war between the two Italian giants AC Milan and Inter Milan, with the Black and Blues ready to swoop in for the striker with a bid and take him away from the grasp of arch rivals and neighbors AC Milan.

It was reported a few days back that The Devils have already agreed on personal terms with the Argentina international striker and they were only waiting for Manchester City to give the green signal to the move by accepting their offer of a loan deal with a view to a permanent move in the summer.

But Inter Milan is waiting in the wings with an offer reported to be between £ 20 and £ 25 million to take the wayward striker permanently off the hands of The Citizens, which is what they are looking for. However, according to reports that have emerged, Carlos Tevez himself would prefer a move to the Red and Black half of Milan instead of the Black and Blue half and with Milan not willing to part with so much money just now, the deal might just become extremely hard to conclude.

Speaking to the media, Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti admitted that his side were looking to acquire the services of the talented if temperamental striker and that has sparked rumors that they are about to sell playmaker Wesley Sneijder to Manchester United to finance the deal or in swap deal with The Citizens as a sweetener to smooth the deal for Tevez.

However, with Carlos Tevez making up his mind to play for AC Milan and Manchester City likely to accept the offer from Inter Milan, this is one transfer saga that might drag on till the last hour of the January transfer window.

INTER NOT CHASING TEVEZ

Posted on by admin

Italian giants Inter Milan have ruled themselves out of a transfer tangle involving Manchester City and Carlos Tevez with club president Massimo Moratti saying that his personal demands as well as Manchester City’s asking price for the striker are a bit too much for them to be able to afford.

However, the Argentine international striker was strongly linked with a move to the Italian giants over the summer after it was evident that he was unhappy at Eastlands and wanted to play somewhere which would be closer to his home and it was also reported that Inter had offered around £ 30 million for the striker but nothing came of it at that time.

With Tevez making certain that he would leave The Citizens, whether it is during this transfer window or the next, Inter Milan as well as a host of other clubs including arch rivals AC Milan and Italian powerhouse Juventus, along with Brazilian champions Corinthians and Paris St Germain were linked with the temperamental Argentina international striker but the Inter president moved quickly to rule themselves out of the running for Tevez.

It was also reported at one time that Inter were willing to sale midfielder Wesley Sneijder to finance a move for the striker but Moratti recently revealed in a press release that they had negotiated with Tevez and his advisors over the personal terms of the contract but his demands were deemed to be a bit too high for his liking. Inter have been without a world class striker with the injury to Diego Forlan ruling him out indefinitely and it was reported in the Italian media that Tevez was their first choice to replace the injured Uruguayan in the January transfer window but it seems that Inter Milan will have to do without a decent striker until Forlan gets fully fit.
