Inter Milan vs Napoli: Psychological
Inter Milan has been awakened from sleep at the beginning of the season. At least it is drawn from the results achieved by Nerazzurri since the arrival of Claudio Ranieri as ciach. After going through five games without a win, Inter is now back on track.
Positive results against Bologna and CSKA Moskva is regarded as a period of revival of psychological of Inter. The reason, many believe the improved performance of Inter could not be separated thanks to the ability of Ranieri to pick them up after going through adverse outcomes with Gian Piero Gasperini.
But the two victories can not make Inter satisfied. Moreover, a new real test comes in giornata 6 of the Serie A when they host a strong team, Napoli, at the Giuseppe Meazza.
Only by getting three points from Napoli then Inter is worthy said to have risen. Because the last two games certainly did not reflect the real strength of Inter. AS Roma has so far been the strongest opponents faced by Inter. And they were only able to draw against them.
However, the momentum of the resurrection must still be carried by La Beneamata. Because with it the Inter players can keep playing mentality and consistency. More mainstream, Inter can play with fun again with Ranieri. That’s what makes Inter optimistic to be able to secure three points in this match.
“In this match, we will try to beat them,” said Ranieri. “Napoli is growing. They are doing something positive in the Champions League. And for us, this is one of the deciding match for the Scudetto. Although the table does not talk that way.”
Inter’s fortune they achieved during the last few days is worth celebrating. Striker Giampaolo Pazzini recovered in time. While Dejan Stankovic and Maicon had already returned to the squad. Diego Milito Although few doubt his fitness, but thats enough strength for Inter. Moreover, the physical condition of Diego Forlan is quite fit because hi did not play in Moscow a few days ago.
Ironically, the conditions experienced Inter inversely with I Partenopei. In this game, Coach Walter Mazzarri could lose their main striker, Edinson Cavani who was injured when they met Villarreal. Cavani’s absence would diminish the quality of the strike power of Napoli.
Since last season Cavani is a major strike power for Napoli. Status of the team’s top scorer last season became evident. This time, inevitably Mazzarri should be able to maximize Ezequiel Lavezzi who the possibly will be supported by former Inter striker, Goran Pandev.
“Although there is no Cavani, we still hope to achieve maximum results. We can replace him with another striker, or playing a little more defensively. We must implement the conditions of the team. Napoli president expect much pf Pandev. We’ll see what he could do if he isĀ played. He is getting better, and could become an important player for us, “said Mazzarri.
It is certainly interesting to see the Pandev-Lavezzi duet in trying to rival the sharpness of the Pazzini-Milito or Pazzini-Forlan duet. With the qualities of both teams, this match would be a guarantee of attractive and productive game. Although it does not rule out the possibility that it will be a tough game with minimum goals.
