Lazio vs Inter 1-1
Inter had to travel to Rome to face Lazio for round 31. After Roma’s draw to Cagliari they had a good opportunity to increase their lead at the top once again but ended up stumbling also. Crespo was able to put Inter ahead after only 11 minutes when he tapped in a low pass from Maicon but it wasn’t to last. Rocchi left the Inter defense out to dry as he beat the offside trap and slotted past Julio Cesar in the one on one confrontation just before the hour mark. Inter were lucky enough just to come away with a draw and should thank the crossbar for saving their necks not once but twice in the remaining minutes. Hopefully they can get back on track and not throw away their good work like they did in 2002. Highlights below.
Are Inter really that good? Will they get shown up and overhauled in the closing stages?
I watched them against Lazio and they were reasonably poor. Not as poor as they were against Liverpool but still bad.
Roma look like the only team who could stop them from winning a second consecutive Serie A (they are 4 points behind). The whole thing makes me wonder why they are doing so well?
I know they have some fantastic players - I particularly love Cambiasso - but i have never really been that impressed with them.
I hope Roma beat Man u and then go on and win the league.
