JAKARTA – "We had a lot of chances but
were unlucky. Guarin, Hernanes and Cambiasso weren’t able to find their best
rhythm today. Our defenders lost focus at the back and let in a goal; a goal
that was too easy," stated Nerazzurri president Erick Thohir after the
match against Atalanta, which he watched on TV in Indonesia.
The president continued: "With nine games
left this season I hope the team can get back on track again. We need as many
points as possible to qualify for Europe."
MILAN – FC Internazionale is pleased to announce that Fredy Guarin has renewed his contract with Inter, extending the current deal until 30 June 2017.
Born in Puerto Boyacà on 30 June 1986, the Colombia midfielder joined Inter in January 2012 from Porto, where he won the Primeira Liga and Europa League in 2010/11. In his first two years at Inter he has made 82 appearances, scoring 14 goals.
He now has a bright future to look forward to in black and blue with his favourite shirt number ("I’ve always chosen 13 whenever possible, ever since my time with Colombia U17s"), and a World Cup on the horizon. On behalf of everyone at the club, we wish Fredy all the best!

Surprise is seeing Inter losing at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium against Atalanta. Yep. Inter lost the 5th position and went down to the 6th position.

Roma keeping a -14 difference with Juventus and keeping behind Napoli attempting to snatch the 2nd place. Roma must be thanking Fiorentina who defeated Napoli at the San Paolo Stadium. Yep.

Bologna gaining momentum and getting away the relegation zone after defeating Cagliari at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium. Referee Gervasoni granted a penalty to Bologna conceded by Cagliari midfielder Daniele Dessena for a foul on midfielder

Udinese sinking Sassuolo at the Friuli Stadium. It’s a 1-0 victory with the goal by forward Antonio Di Natale. Sad news for Di Natale’s fans is that he missed a penalty in the 36th minute.
