Long live Cambiasso and Zanetti
Claudio Ranieri’s Inter is rebornaroundtwoplayers: JavierZanetti and EstebanCambiasso. The contribution of the twoArgentines has been instrumental in the successesachieved by the coach in his first two matches on the Inter bench in Moscow and Bologna. Zanetti and Cambiassoweresolid in front of the defence and gave the team the balance that waslostduringGasperini’stime.
This raises the question of what is the best solution for the attack, on what is the right combination of the manyoptionsavailable (Milito, Pazzini, Forlan, Zarate and Castaignos, in addition to Sneijder, Alvarez and Coutinho), but it is oftenforgotten that Inter’s realproblems are in the midfield. In addition to Zanetti and Cambiasso, they can rely on a limitednumber of players who can be trusted, whichessentiallyboildown to Stankovic and Motta, while Poli, Obi, Muntari and Crisetig, for variousreasons, are not (or are not yet). And remember that it was the collapse of the midfield last season, that led to the heavy defeat by AC Milan and Schalke 04, who sweptaway the league title and led to elimination from the Champions League.
Whilewaiting for reinforcements in January, long liveCambiasso and Zanetti. An Inter withouttheircontributionseemsunthinkable.
