Re: INTER Thread - ITALIAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONS
mourinho will display a 4-3-3 "chelsea-style"..... wich is pretty much the same of the 4-3-3 mancini tried (with success) last season (by the end of the season).

what a hell of a team!
having 2 left footed cbs it's not really great.... but both samuel and chivu are so fucking good that nobody would care about it.
However burdisso had a huge growth last season, and i can see him getting a lot of playtime this year (he will be a starter until samuel gets back).
it seems crazy not to line up zanetti but i guess he will be a starter for most of the season (both vieira and stankovic are extremely injury prone).
the same way, balotelli will get a lot of playtime as figo's backup.... actually, if he'll keep playing as he did last season, he might even steal figo's starter spot.
however this team is insane. i can't think of another team in the world which can put on the bench the likes of toldo, zanetti, cruz, crespo, muntari, balotelli, cordoba...

I don't think Mancini is going to be a hit. Mediocre performance against Benfica.
but he was great against bayern.
an italian journalist said something i agree with. he said mancini had some troubles in roma coz of his lack of consistence. he's a sublime player, but he can't play on the same standard every week for the whole season.
and this was a problem in roma, as roma's roster is not that deep.
inter instead has much more depth, and this might be help a lot amantino. i have the feeling he'll have a great season. he will be exertmely motivated, after the transfer and after the his last season's average performances.
