ANALYSIS |
|
" Inter Milan and As Roma will
meet at the San Siro on Saturday night with both teams
looking for that illusive Champions League qualification
place by the end of the season. If the current form
of the two teams is anything to go by, we should have
an exciting and fascinating match in prospect.
Earlier in the season at the Olimpico Roma
came back from two goals behind to draw three all
thanks to the inspiration of Francesco Totti. Since
this match both teams have stayed in the inconsistent
form that has seen the two drift away from the scudetto
race.
Mathematically Inter still have every chance of making
a title charge. With fifteen games to go the Nerazzuri
sit eleven points away from the leaders Juventus.
Despite this, realistically Inter will settle for
third place, as they know they still have a tough
challenge of keeping their top four spot. Sampdoria,
Palermo, Udinese and Roma themselves will all look
to push Inter all the way and not making the Champions
League would be a catastrophe for the side from Milan.
Adriano is likely to be back in the starting line-up
and this is a huge boost for Mancini. The Brazilians
best form is what can pull Inter away from the chasing
pack in the hunt for the Champions League. Adriano
will also give Inter more chance of lifting that very
trophy in May at Istanbul.
Roma meanwhile sit four points behind Inter in sixth.
Two draws in a row have seen Roma step back a few
paces, but they are certainly in better form since
the last time they met Inter at the Olimpico. Roma
have not lost a match since the poor Rome derby performance,
which left Romanisti stunned. Their recent performances
will need to continue at the San Siro, as even a draw
may not be good enough. The tridente both in attack
and defence will have a huge bearing on the match
on Saturday night. In the past seasons this encounter
has reserved a good number of goals and everything
points towards another high scoring match. Inter need
to bounce back to victory after drawing their last
encounter at Parma while the capital city side cannot
afford to lose further points from the fourth place
in order to obtain a Champions League spot. This match
points to a stalemate "

OUTCOME |
Two Sinisa Mihajlovic free kicks proved enough as Inter beat
Roma and stake their claim on the fourth Champions' League
spot.
These are the two most prolific teams in Serie A - bagging
86 goals between them going into this tie - and it was a
head to head battle for Champions' League places.
Adriano had his first start since suffering a calf injury a
month ago and partnered Obafemi Martins, leaving Christian
Vieri on the bench. Alvaro Recoba was injured and Sinisa
Mihajlovic stepped in for the suspended Marco Materazzi, but
surprisingly Kily Gonzalez replaced Dejan Stankovic on the
right. Antonio Cassano recovered from a minor knee injury
that kept him out of international duty to form Roma's
trident attack, though Olivier Dacourt was on a one-match
ban.
The Giallorossi had a strong start and tested Francesco
Toldo after just 90 seconds of play. Vincenzo Montella got
behind Giuseppe Favalli on Antonio Cassano's pass and Toldo
got down well to block his precise finish.
Leandro Cufre' then drilled just wide of the top corner from
a good 30 metres away as Roma looked confident. Juan
Sebastian Veron's long-range effort was held by Ivan
Pelizzoli, then soon after Adriano nodded a Kily Gonzalez
cross just past the near post.
The deadlock was eventually broken after 22 minutes. Sinisa
Mihajlovic was a risk for this match due to a bout of flu,
but he curled in one of his trademark free kicks at the near
post, lifting it over the defensive wall and into the bottom
corner of the net. The Serb defender - a former Roma player
- has now scored 27 Serie A goals from set-pieces.
Ivan Cordoba's crucia intervention prevented Cassano's
splendid solo run threading through to Montella moments
later as Roma fought back.
Totti's free kick was charged down by the defensive wall,
but he slammed the rebound with his left foot and Toldo flew
to make a fantastic save. The Roma captain fired another
free kick over the bar.
There was panic in the Inter area on the stroke of
half-time. Totti sprung the offside trap on Christian
Panucci's cross and intelligently cut across for Montella,
who had taken the ball past Toldo, but Ivan Cordoba came
sliding in for a decisive challenge that prevented the
Capocannoniere tapping into an empty net from a couple of
yards.
At the other end, a Kily Gonzalez cross found Martins in the
centre, but the Nigerian seemed surprise and couldn't react
in time for the finish, while Roma were really pushing with
a Panucci free header over the bar.
At the start of the second half, Pelizzoli was uncertain on
a Mihajlovic corner kick and Esteban Cambiasso's header at
the back post was deflected on to the side-netting by
Daniele De Rossi.
Montella was again dangerous at the other end, reaching
Panucci's cross and only just failing to angle his header
past Toldo. Moments later he single-handedly dribbled past
both Mihajlovic and Favalli, but the omnipresent Cordoba was
there to clean up.
On the hour mark, Gigi Del Neri pushed Panucci back into
defence as Amantino Mancini took over midfield duties in a
4-3-3 system. Inter also made a change as former Lazio star
Dejan Stankovic replaced Kily Gonzalez.
Leandro Cufre' needed a well-timed challenge to stop Martins
making the most of a classic counter-attack, while Pelizzoli
needed two touches to smother another powerful long-range
Mihajlovic free kick.
Martins disposessed defenders in midfield and sprinted
towards goal, driving his effort just past the post.
Stankovic thought he had sealed the points when he ran on to
a splendid Adriano pass, but Pelizzoli got down quickly to
parry at the near post.
Cassano pulled up with a muscular problem and was replaced
by 17-year-old striker Cerci for the final five minutes.
The Giallorossi's hopes of getting back into the game were
wrecked in stoppages when Philippe Mexes brought down
Martins for his second bookable offence.
Mihajlovic got the last laugh, as from that free kick he
curled in another fantastic free kick at the near post that
left Pelizzoli rooted to the spot.
