Inter confirm Vieri split
Friday 1 July, 2005

Christian Vieri is today without a club after Inter confirmed that they had mutually agreed to terminate his contract.

The striker's deal was set to expire in June 2006 but has been rescinded following talks over the last few days.

"Negotiations between the club and the player were friendly at every stage, respecting the needs of either party," read a statement on the club's website.

All the necessary paperwork was deposited with the Italian Football League on Friday morning.

Cannavaro: Juventus experience so much better than Inter Milan
tribalfootball.com - December 5, 2005

Juventus defender Fabio Cannavaro says he has no regrets over his move away from Inter Milan.
Cannavaro said: "Here there is a beautiful atmosphere, organised dinners, the children all nearly go to the same schools and the same arenas.

"It is beautiful here and what other clubs find difficult to organise.

"I do not know why Inter Milan cannot win trophies, I did not succeed to express myself at my best there. I have resolved those problems here."

Figo fired up for derby debut
Saturday 10 December, 2005

Luis Figo is fired up ahead of his first Milan derby and admits it will be a uniquely passionate and intense experience.

"It's true that I have played in many derby games in Spain, but this will be my first Italian taste of a local rivalry," he told the official Inter website.

"We haven't discussed this tie between ourselves very much, but there's no need to talk up a clash that is known throughout the world. Football is experienced with great intensity in Italy and you can really sense how much the fans want this victory."

The former Barcelona star famously had a pig's head thrown at him during a derby match when he was playing for Real Madrid and doesn't expect a similar reception at the San Siro on Sunday evening, but he does believe it will be a key moment in the Nerazzurri's season.

"I don't know who plays the better football out of Inter and Milan, but the only thing that counts now is the win. It doesn't matter if we achieve those points through entertaining play or sheer character, but I hope all the fans will be happy with the result we achieve at the final whistle."

A victory would enable Inter to leapfrog past Milan into second place and achieve their first Derby della Madonnina celebration since March 2002.

"Our objective is to win and we can achieve that if we do what we're capable of," added patron Massimo Moratti. "Psychologically we are a little more confident than Milan going into the game, but it all depends on the individual performances. I would've picked Alvaro Recoba for potential Man of the Match, but he's not 100 per cent fit, so I'll go for Adriano instead."

Turf defeated us, says Mancio
Tuesday 3 October, 2006

Roberto Mancini has blamed Sunday's 1-1 draw at Cagliari on the pitch. "It was terrible," noted the Inter Coach.

The Nerazzurri were desperate to make up for their Champions League debacle against Bayern Munich, but were unable to defeat the islanders who are still in search of their first win of the season.

"I am pleased with the first half of the match even if we slowed down a bit in the second," said Mancio.

"However, I am satisfied with the work done in these first few matches and I have nothing to complain about.

"I think the team played well and I was satisfied with the trident experiment for the short time the three strikers stayed on the pitch [before Hernan Crespo's injury].

"But we were affected by the pitch which was in a terrible condition. A few of our moves failed to come off because of the surface," continued Mancio.

"In any case, this was the type of match we wanted to play - sometimes you succeed, sometimes you don't.

"I can understand the tiredness in the second half as we played a tough match on Wednesday and the same goes for the previous game. It has been an intense month."

The Italian champions have also had to deal with numerous absences recently, due to injuries and suspensions.

"This is yet another problem we have had in our last matches, if you don't have the chance to change, injuries can happen when you're playing so often," he added.

"I said that I was pleased with September, but it's clear I was only talking about the championship. How can you be pleased if you have no points in your Champions League group?"

Mancini's boys can now take advantage of the break for the Euro 2008 qualifiers and the tactician hopes that all his men will be fully recovered by the time Serie A restarts in two weeks.

"We hope to have everyone back as that is the most important thing. If we get back our strength and the injured and suspended players I don't think there will be any big problems."
