INTER, FLASHES FROM A DERBY

Celtic liquidated.  K.O. for Nagatomo.  Zanetti returns against Milan

Goals by Castaignos and Pazzini but the Japanese is injured.

No Beijing so recalling the captain for the Super cup in August 6.

Dublin Another step forward.  Another injury - after Viviano's and the fear of Castellazzi - and therefore another South American, after Julio Cesar, is being recalled to play in the derby for the Italian Super Cup.  Out Nagatomo: no Beijing for one that has suffered a dislocated shoulder (tests taken in hospital, decision on operation will be decided on Monday).  And in Zanetti: it could have been Maicon but the Brazilian has another game immediately after Beijing (August 10 against Germany in Stuttgart).  Maicon is in Brazil but Zanetti - who is more willingly to come back from vacation - is in Greece and it is easier for him to reach the team.  He will fly to China by himself but the will will arrive at the same time from Dublin, via Paris.

The regrets of Gasp The collapse of Nagatomo's shoulder was unexpected as well as the red card for Thiago Motta.  Those two events disrupted a few plans of the coach: who wanted to be different and perhaps he could use Alvarez a little bit in the second half or to see Eto'o on the left with Pazzini in the center ( as a striker and not as a midfielder like the Cameroonian in a 3-4-2 which then became 4-4-1).  And the last regret was seeing a Sneijder who was a little bit squeezed in the midfield.

The fighting But there was one other thing: a good Inter that was tough and got easy goals which has comforted Gasperini with other positive notes.  First: if the match against Galatasaray was a real match, the the one yesterday was a very real match as well because of the fired of Celtic's Scottish.  The over the top furor of captain Brown was a good picture as the Biancoverdi (white and green)  were always pressing, running and also beating like hell but Inter held their head high from the point of view of character and even in ten.  It was definitely a good rest on course to Beijing, hoping that that Milan with less tough games will play with less football.

What goes and what not Inter won this game especially in the attack: the beautiful first goal (combination between Deki and Pandev who found Castaignos and he placed it in the right corner) was the summary of fluidity that almost brought the team two more goals between Pazzini doubled the score.  It is just a shame that Inter granted too many chances at the back and even more in ten.  Castellazzi was obviously the man of the match for Inter with at least 3 miraculous saves.  With that, it just means that defensively, Inter are still not even close to where Gasp wants the team to be.  Many chances were granted despite the fact that Nagatomo (and then Faraoni) and Santon were playing quite low.  Giving these chances to Pato, Ibrahimovic and company would not be a good idea.
