MILAN – Prior to the kick-off of the Inter v Catania match, Giuseppe
Baresi spoke briefly to Sky Sport Italia.
This is what he said:
"Inter are ready. The coach has worked well with the lads in training,
making the importance of the moment clear to everyone. The players are ready to
take to the pitch convinced that they’ll take home all three points from this
important game."
He was also asked about Diego Milito: "We’ll see a sharper Milito than the
one in the previous game. It’ll take time for him to get back to his best, but
he’s fit and has the desire."
MILAN – Here are the starting line-ups chosen by coaches Walter Mazzarri and Rolando Maran for Inter v Catania, the 2013/14 Serie A match at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (kick-off at 15:00).
MILAN – The game between Inter and Catania ended scoreless, with both president Erick Thohir and Massimo Moratti watching in the stands. There were plenty of chances but the Nerazzurri lacked the clinical finishing necessary in front of goal.
Walter Mazzarri fielded a three-man defence of Campagnaro, Rolando and Juan Jesus in front of Handanovic in goal. Jonathan, Kuzmanovic, Cambiasso and Nagatomo lined up in midfield, and Alvarez and Palacio supported Milito in attack.
Inter were the ones to force the action, as Catania sat back and waited to counter. On 17 minutes Campagnaro was the victim of an obvious shirt pull by Bellusci on a corner kick. Nine minutes later it took a great save from Catania’s keeper to deny Milito’s right-footed grass-cutter. The first half then ended scoreless.
In the 53rd minute a lovely long pass from Cambiasso picked out Milito, who got a toe to the ball but couldn’t quite tuck it away. Still, Milito, Palacio and Alvarez continued to push forward, with even Rolando contributing to the attack now and then. However, the Nerazzurri couldn’t summon the necessary solidity and clinical finishing needed to put the game away and had to content themselves with a solitary point from this scoreless draw.
Ever since they began working in Israel and Palestine way back in 2000, the Inter Campus ream have had to keep an eye on the complex political situation in the region.
Today, thanks to the partnership with Ghetton (http://www.ghetton.com/),
the expanded project – recently starting up in Migdal HaEmek and Yafia
in Galilee – involves the centre of Israel and the West Bank: the
kibbutz of Shefayim, Jaljulia and the nearby Palestinian villages, as
well as the area to the south of Tel Aviv with the children of African
refugees.
Children from varying cultures, backgrounds, dialects and religions but brought together by the same language – football. The kids were joined by singer Noa who dedicated her song “Shalom Shalom” – the soundtrack to the video – to them.
Ghetton would like to thank Acer Israel for their help in creating the video.
