Inter coach Jose Mourinho has once again stirred his rocky relationship with the rest of Serie A by claiming no one appreciates him in the peninsula. He even suggested that he may come dead last in the voting for the Coach of the Year award. Click here for his comments...
France Football magazine has revealed the shortlist of the ten nominees who will vie for the 2009 Ballon d’Or award. As expected, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Andres Iniesta and Xavi's names are there in the list and so are those of Didier Drogba, Steven Gerrard and Kaka.
Italian champions and current league leaders Inter have much to atone for after their midweek collapse against Barcelona at Camp Nou. But Fiorentina are no easy pushovers and they held the Nerazzurri at bay until the 85th minute when Diego Milito converted a penalty to bag all three points.
Following recent suggestions from captain Javier Zanetti that Inter could potentially leave the field should Mario Balotelli come under further abuse in Turin against Juventus, coach Jose Mourinho has looked to quash such thoughts ahead of next weekend’s clash.
During Juventus' last two matches against Udinese and Bordeaux in the Champions League, a section of their fanbase were heard making chants against Inter starlet Mario Balotelli. However, the shot stopper is certain the tifosi will not be racist towards the youngster on December 5.
Inter's influential captain, Javier Zanetti has warned Juventus to do whatever is necessary to put a stop to a group of fans' racial abuse on Mario Balotelli. The Argentine assured that he will not hesitate to ask his team to walk off in the middle of a game if the incident is repeated.
After dodging reports claiming he was close to getting the sack earlier in the week, Inter boss Jose Mourinho has now revealed that he adores Spanish football and would love to coach in the Primera Division. He also said that he would like to coach Portugal at some point.
