Chivu-Thiago Motta Sneijder-Pazzini: Ranieri is building his Inter. The stops of Samuel and Ranocchia have allowed Chivu to play his natural role as a central defender against Lille and Chievo, as it happens two games without conceding a goal. At this point the Inter coach cannot rule out putting theRomanian at the center on a permanent basis, even after the return of injured players.

 Thiago Motta in front of the defense is an experiment already tried, with mixed results, by Leonardo. "He gave us rhythm and geometry, perhaps he is a little slow but is quick-minded," says Ranieri, who knows very well that the Italo-Brazilian needs to be supported by the speed of his teammates.

Behind thestrikers there is Sneijder, that with the departure of Samuel Eto'o has become the leading reference on the pitch for everyone.

Strikers: When Pazzini does not score he hardly catches your eye, but is still important for the team. After sitting on the bench throughout the game, yesterday Milito left San Siro with a long face:in Bergamo on Wednesday he will have the opportunity to turn his anger into goals
