Inter Milan vs. Brescia [R]
 

February 29, Sunday

I truly believe that after a UEFA Cup draw and a crushing Milan derby defeat, Inter will bounce back with a 2-1 victory.

Boy...was I wrong on this one!
 

Inter Milan 1 - 3 Brescia

Inter is really screwing the pooch on this one. Seems like they just don't know how to win...what is it bad chemistry or a terrible manager???

I don't think you can blame Zac right now for the performance (or lack thereof) of Inter, I think it boils down to a few factors:

1) Injuries - It's simply amazing how many players are out right now with injury.

2) Lack of team chemistry - Players are having to step into new roles and Stankovic and Adriano have not had time to gel with the rest of the team.

3) Lack of confidence - Not much has gone Inter's way and I think the team is seriously doubting themselves.

4) Distractions - The bombing of Bobo and Fabio's restauraunts has to be weighing on the players mind and is probably a minor distraction.

That's just my take on the current situation. I'll reserve judgement on Zac until he has a healthy squad and a full offseason to implement his plan of attack. I truly think a healthy Inter with 1 or 2 of the right players can make noise next year. However, for this year, sadly, I think the a Champions League bid is slipping away especually with Roma on deck.

Well, considering Cuper was fired just after they drew AT Brescia, I suppose you can see just how far Zaccheroni has brought the team along :rolleyes:

Look at how many players are injured. Inter could hardly field a defence b/c so many players are out. I would probably take Cuper over Zac, but since Cuper is out and Zac is our coach I think we should give him at least a year to implement his system.
