Inter Milan remain in the fight for the title
Although Inter Milan made only a draw in Friday’s match against Brescia, the title chances remained unchanged.
Friday was the match between Brescia and Inter Milan, that seemed an easy one for Inter. But it was not that simple and after a first half where Inter played well, half which ended 1-0 for Inter after the goal scored by Samuel Eto’o in the 18th minute. The second round was a nightmare for Inter.The match seemed to end 1-0 for Inter until the 85th minute , when Caracciolo scored the equalizer goal.
Moreover Inter could remain without points. In the 89th minute Cordoba, fouled into the box and the referee dictates penalty for Brescia.Inter’s goalkeeper Julio Cesar saved the penalty from Caracciolo, and Inter leave with a point from Brescia.
This seemed to be perfect time for Milan to take 7 points advantage on Inter Milan, especially that they had a easy match, against the last Serie A, Bari.But Milan failed to win this match, and the distance from Inter remain unchanged, 5 points when there are nine matches to be played in this championship.
The team who took advantages for the missteps by those two teams is Napoli,which is now six points of AC Milan and 1 point from Inter, and Napoli entering again in battle for title.
Inter have a lot of injured players
Inter managed to reach 2nd place with just 5 points behind rivals Milan, returning to title battle. If Inter play just like they did in previous matches is possible that soon to have a change of leader. After coming closer to 1 position, it seems that Leonardo is unlucky.
In this season Inter had many injured players and this thing may prevent them to reach the first place.
After defender Samuel and striker Milito, Leonardo must make do without three other players. Chivu, Cordoba and Kharja are doubtful for next match . If Cordoba has an old injury, it seems that Kharja and Chivu have problems after the last round match against Sampdoria.
Even if Leonardo has to do it without several players Inter must win the next game to not lose contact with the leader.
