Milito: "With those two it's easy"

The centre-forward spoke in favour of the three-man attack: "It's great playing alongside Cassano and Palacio. They support you and provide you with goal-scoring chances". The Colombian said: "I always want you to see the Guarin that played against Samp, Juventus and Partizan. That was the right mentality, but I still need to improve a lot". Mudingayi to miss the Bergamo match

 

 

Palacio unstoppable, Guarin back in form, Mudingayi a worry and half the defence missing. But the Inter team that returned from their European match after qualifying for the next round is more than just this. Rodrigo Palacio showed yet again just how deadly he is when he is fit (he has scored six goals in the last six matches), while Guarin was back to his dominating best and for the whole 90 minutes. Then there is Milito, who was rested on Thursday, but will be back in the starting line-up in Bergamo. Mudingayi will not be available however. They have not yet had the results of the tests back back, but he will definitely not be featuring on Sunday (he has a thigh strain). Stramaccioni also has to find a solution in defence, where he now has only two fit central defenders (Juan and Silvestre), unless he plays Cambiasso at the back.

yes to a three-man attack — But when the attack is playing like it is at the moment, these absences are a little less worrying. The attacking trio are playing amazingly well together. This was highlighted by Milito himself: "Throughout my career I have always adapted my way of playing to what ever system we were using and whoever I was playing with. Now I'm playing alongside Rodrigo and Antonio, and it's great. They support you and provide you with goal-scoring chances. It is really easy playing alongside great players like them. There is a great understanding". So great that some of the fans are now starting to dream about another magical year, like 2010: "It's difficult to repeat a year like that, but we are giving everything and we will continue to do that and try to keep improving".
