A present at the right time. Established 104 years ago on Friday, Inter returned to winning ways after six losses and two draws, just in time to prepare for the second leg of the last-16 Champions League clash against Marseille.
The 2-0 win at Chievo was achieved thanks to two goals in the last three minutes; Samuel and Milito - who missed a penalty in the first half - the goalscorers. Luck is the prize for the good and the brave. And Inter deserved to find the net so late on, as Ranieri's team did their best to win the game right from the kickoff and missed several chances during the game.
The Chievo's game (like Napoli-Cagliari) was a sort of warm up: the next Champions League fixture was the dominant thought. Too huge to be escaped. Even the opponents' approach seemed to be influenced, with Cagliari and Chievo playing more like sparring partners than true fighters.
The most important thing for Inter was the win and the composure that marked this exhibition match. The winning mentality is fed by victories, and good wins like this one at Bentegodi is full of nutrients. There was nothing too outstanding, but it was a comfortable victory that will give the confidence Ranieri and his guys were looking for.
Marseille will be defeated. Even in France, despite losing, Inter were the better side. There is no reason Inter can't make it at San Siro.

Buon compleanno Inter! Forza Nerazzurri! A morale boosting win for the boys. A great performance on a not so great pitch. Fantastic header from Samuel to open the scoring and give Inter some much needed confidence. Bless this club. May they reach another 100 years and beyond! Ti amo, Internazionale!

I hope this win gives the team some confidence as alluded to by you, Gianni.
Poli starting the game seems to be a step in the positive direction. Was Obi injured or did Stankovic play only because of Caludio's stubbornness?

So many positives to take from this game. I thought Forlan was in a good place on the field and had some nice touches and movement. Sneijder looked very comfortable on free kicks/corners. Maicon overlapped well and also had great pace and accuracy on his deliveries into the box. Great day to be an Inter fan!

Mi stupisco con chi si sutcispe delle parole di quest'articolista del Tempo..articolista (non giornalista) da due soldi fasulli ed inflazionati.Di cosa ci lamentiamo?Ma viviamo con un minimo di comprensione di quel che c'e8 attorno?Ogni tanto articoli cosec beceri e cosec impastati di luoghi comuni e8 bene per noi napoletani leggerli: DANNO LA REALE DIMENSIONE non della verite0 ci mancherebbe, ma DI QUELLO CHE LA STRAGRANDE MAGGIORANZA DELLE PERSONE MEDIE PENSA DI NOI.C'e8 poco da fare, questa e8 la fama che abbiamo, questo e8 l'onore.. che ci attribuiscono.Gente superficiale e sostanzialmente ignorante?Stupida?Certamente, ma sappiate che e8 la maggioranza notevole, quella che di fatto finisce col contare, sia nelle scelte piccole, che in quelle pesanti.Quella che contribuisce in modo sostanziale nel formare la volgarissima opinione pubblica.Se non abbiamo nessuna credibilite0 e8 perche8 sempre, SEMPRE, dobbiamo misurarci con questa visione generalizzata di Napoli e dei Napoletani.Che Jean Nhoel Schifano abbia ragione, serve per gli altri,e fa bene anche a noi che qualcuno ci ricordi le nostre origini perche9 ci orenti verso il nostro vero destino.Purtroppo non serve ad altro.Cosa dobbiamo fare?Paradossalmente dobbiamo tener conto delle loro idiozie e comportarci in modo generalizzato per contraddire i luoghi comuni di sti barbari del Nord che hanno avuto la fortuna immeritata di trovarsi senza neanche saperlo al centro della rivoluzione industriale.Oppure per smentire sti pecorari di Roma, che se non fosse stato per i finanziamenti dei contribuenti avrebbero continuato a vivere tra Colosseo semiscassato, colonne non riportate in superficie, capitelli spuntanti sull'erba e pecore al centro dell' urbe nonostante la presenza papalina.Papi che per quanto schifosamente sovrani, rubavano meno dello Stato unitario.Contemporaneamente la nostra citte0, prima dell'Unite0, concorreva con Parigi sul primato londinese e distanziava la capitale dell'impero asburgico a sua volta avvicinata da Palermo .Il meridione non conosceva emigrazione e chi andava (Acton) faceva il viaggiatore,mentre i nobili stranieri come Stendhal, Goethe, Hugo, ma erano tantissimi altri verificavano la bonte0 dei nostri posti, battezzavano miglio d'oro la pif9 bella passeggiata d'Europa (tra Portici e Castellammare), e imparavano la grandezza di Roma, grazie a Pompei, Stabia ed Ercolano (anzi Resecna).Per tornare a questo dobbiamo far FINTA che abbiano ragione, tanto quello che emerge e8 la merda, che pif9 che da noi sta negli occhi di chi ci guarda.
