AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus Tickets
From the category archives:
Last season treble winning team, Inter Milan, seems very confident with their current squad as they didn’t make any significant signings this summer aside from youngsters such as Phelipe Coutinho and Jonathan Biabiany.
However, despite the confident shown by the club’s director, Marco Branca, the Nerazzurri’s coach, Rafael Benitez, reportedly is disappointed with his team’s decision to be inactive in the transfer market.
Many Milan fans are very excited that Galliani and Berluscni have finally heard their pleas and cries and signed players who could win them trophies. There is no doubt that the Rossoneri are looking very strong on all fronts this season, however, before writing off other teams, it is important to note that Inter Milan, Juventus, AS Roma and the chasing pack of Napoli, Palermo, Sampdoria Fiorentina, Genoa and Lazio won’t yield the title to Milan or any other team for that matter without a fight.
One of the longest transfer saga in the Serie A has finally ended after As Roma have finally find an agreement with Inter Milan to sign their whole summer target, Nicolas Burdisso.
According to the media in Italy, the Argentinian player have finally been brought to Roma with a fee around 8 million that will be paid in three installment.
This purchasing have been waited for a while by Roma especially their coach,Claudio Ranieri, who is a keen admirer of Burdisso, surely the official signing would give a boost for the club that will start their season later today against Cesena. Earlier this week, Ranieri was already pessimistic about the opportunity in acquiring the player that the Giallorosssi loaned from Inter last season.
The Italian Serie A season gets underway this weekend after a 3 month break with some very mouth watering fixtures key among them being the Udinese v Genoa, Fiorentina v Napoli and Sampdoria v Lazio matches.
This will however not be like any other previous season as the strategic buying that most clubs employed means that the league will be more competitive than previously thought. A good example would have to be Juventus.
While Inter still remain as favourites to repeat their epic treble, the Bianconeri cannot be ruled out especially after acquiring some very talented players. Milos Krasic, Simone Pepe and Leonardo Bonucci are just a few of these players.
Inter Milan achieved a clean sweep of the 2010 UEFA Club Football Awards in Monaco, the first time such a feat has been achieved since the awards’ inception in 1998.
Diego Milito, who scored both goals in Inter’s 2-0 UEFA Champions League final defeat of FC Bayern Munich in Madrid in May, secured the overall prize as UEFA Club Footballer of the Year, voted for, like all these accolades, by the coaches of the teams that reached the round of 16 last season. The 12 nominees for the four positional awards were all eligible for the main honour.
Still having not received the green light from Liverpool regarding their transfer proposal to acquire Dirk Kuyt, Inter Milan already prepare to raid another player from the English side. Just as it was rumored previously, their next target is Javier Mascherano who along with Kuyt are Rafael Benitez’s favorite players during the Spaniard’s time at the Reds.
According to English’ newspaper, The Sun, Inter have made an official bid to Liverpool which amount is the same as the players’ price tag around 20 million Euro.
According to most people, Roma is still the only team that can challenge Inter for the scudetto. Sure,Inter are the favourites to defend the Serie A title again, however, Milan, Juventus, Fiorentina, Sampdoria Napoli and Genoa cannot be ruled out.
The Giallorosso threw away their comfortable lead in the dying stages of last season to see rivals Inter pip them to their record breaking 5th straight scudetto. The Romans have been largely quiet in the transfer market with only the signings of a few players and if reports emerging from the capital are to be believed, then Roma fans have reason to smile as their towering striker Julio Baptista has apparently turned down a 14 million Euro transfer to Turkish club Galatasary.
Inter Milan’s plan in acquiring Giuseppe Sculli, who has been touted as Mario Balotelli’s replacement, reportedly is facing a slight delay after Genoa refuses Inter’s latest offer.
According to La Gazzeta dello sport, the Griffone doesn’t feel that the Nerazzuri’s proposal of 5 Million Euro plus the ownership of midfielder Victor Obinna is something profitable for them.
In 1994 when Serie A moved to three points for a win, Inter have gained more points than any other team. The Nerazzurri earned a total of 1078 points in 568 matches, which averages just under two points per match (1.897).
The pace they set in the last six years with Mancini (in his first four years) and then with Mourinho is impressive— 496 points in 288 matches, with a 2.19 point average, higher than Manchester United’s in the Premier League (2.15).
Its very obvious that Carlo Ancelotti dislikes Inter. In fact, during his tenure as Milan boss, the Italian tactician was constantly tearing at the Nerazzurri and their former coach Jose Mourinho. So it comes as no surprise when Ancelotti backed outcast Mario Balotelli’s decision to join EPL club Manchester City.
Balotelli completed his move to England last week after almost 2 months of negotiations between his agent and Inter President Massimo Moratti. With City not getting the perfect start to their season, a lot is riding on the shoulders of Balotelli.
