With the seemingly imminent departure of Maicon from the San Siro, as well as Italy’s need for a long term replacement for Gianluca Zambrotta, the 2010/11 season could be a fruitful one for Inter’s Davide Santon. The 19-year-old fullback already has five senior international caps to his name; some achievement in a country which values experience above all else.
When Santon arrived at the Inter Milan academy aged 14, he was a winger, but as he progressed he developed into a fullback, and a versatile one who is equally adept on …
Chelsea got off to a winning start in the 2009 World Football Challenge, beating Italian Champions Inter Milan by two goals to nil.
The game was played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California which hosted the 1994 World Cup Final between Brazil and Italy. As on that occasion it was to be another Italian disappointment as the Londoners ran out comfortable winners.
It was also the first time Jose Mourinho had come up against his former club since taking over at Inter.
Chelsea fielded a strong line up with all …

And whilst Inter are known as the big spenders of Serie A, there are never more than a few transfers that actually materialise.
This season could be different, though, as the Nerazzurri prepare to mount a serious challenge in the Champions League, something …
Brazilian striker Adriano has never had any trouble on the pitch, however the his life off the field leaves a lot to be desired. And now he has failed to return not only to Inter training, but also to the country, following his stint as an un-used substitute in Brazil’s World Cup Qualifier against Peru.
Adriano and Ronaldo…… or maybe Adriano present and Adriano future

Mario Balotelli has been having a very tough campaign, following the arrival of new gaffer Jose Mourinho. Highly rated by previous coach Roberto Mancini, Balotelli has failed to impress the new boss, and isn’t having the best weeks of his life in Milan.
The 18-year-old burst into tears during training earlier in the month, after a team-mate criticized him. Balotelli has repeatedly been left out by Mourinho, but his boss sees the treatment as something that will help him and his carear.
“Balotelli is the same as the other players for me, even …

And now, it seems, Inter president Massimo Moratti has answered Jose Mourinho’s plea for a largely scaled-down squad. But who could be on their way out?
Inter have always had trouble with the age of the squad, with a large number of players seemingly coming to the San Siro when the peak of their carear has come and gone. But Mourinho …
