Wow, I can't believe Mourinho is keeping Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a subs instead of playing in the startig lineup! Hello, here is the chance not only for Inter to make it big and win in the European competition, but also for Ibrahimovic to shine. I honestly don't get this decision. Adriano should have been better as sub.
Inter seems lost and not finding their way to control the match. This is why I was surprised that Mourinho did not start with Ibrahimovic. Come on, after the first half ends in 0-0, finally Inter makes two substitutions for the second half.
Marco Materazzi out, Maxwell in
Adriano out, Zlatan Ibrahimovic in
In the 58th minute Peruvian forward Claudio Pizarro showing a lesson to Inter by being a constant danger! Markus Rosenberg sends an assist to Pizarro shooting from outside the box to the center of the goal and not surprising Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar who saves! Bravo Julio Cesar.
Oh, oh, spaghetti oh. First shocking and wake up call for Inter. In the 63rd minute, Werder Bremen forward Claudio Pizarro blasts Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar with a right footed shot from the center of the box to the bottom right corner. I am mad guys!
Werder Bremen 1 - 0 FC Internazionale
Wow, oh my gosh! In the 81st minute an assist by Mesut Ozil to Markus Rosenberg blasting not only Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar but all Inter fans with a left footed shot from the center of the box to the bottom left corner! Gee... what a luck!!! I am super mad.
Werder Bremen 2 - 0 FC Internazionale
Whatever happened to Inter great Chinese's wall? Where is the defense? So much talking about dominion and they are crumbling in the Champions League. True, Inter is already qualified but come on guys, Inter must start showing consistency in European competition and be a strong competitor not only in the local league.
In the 88th minute, thumbs up for Maxwell sending the assist to Zlatan Ibrahimovic who shoots from outside the box directly to the bottom right corner blasting Werder Bremen goalkeeper Wiese
Werder Bremen 2 - 1 FC Internazionale
Oh well, at least, Ibrahimovic delivered an "honor goal." Imagine if Mourinho said Inter needed to "play for pride." Well, that pride never showed up..... except until Ibrahimovic came in.
