Key Players

- Inter Milan :

The player joined Inter this season from Juventus,The swedish Striker didn't have a good season with Juventus last year and hoping 2 do better in Inter,Inter Fans are putting a lot of hopes on him 2 be the best Partner with Adriano.

* Adriano :
Adriano was one of the worst players in Inter last season and failed 2 impress whether with Inter or Brazilian national team in the world cup but he remainson of Inter best players and the key for the Team,all fans believe that if he is in top form Inter will be better.

- AS ROMA :

* Francesco Totti :
Totti is Roma's king and the most faithful player for the team he had a good season last year but suffered an injury that made him out of action for 4 month,but he returned in the World cup and was a main factor in Italy world Champions.

* Amantino Mancini :
The Brazilian winger was one of the best players in Serie A last season and one of the big factors of Roma's last season record in winning and he was also the 2nd top scorer behind Totti,he will form a lot of problems for Inter defence as he did last season.

Vieira is a bigger key to Internazionale's success than zlatan is. A dominant midfield presence both attacking and defending is someone they have never really had. Adriano needs to have a career season to raise his stock, everyone knows the talent is there, but he needs to prove people wrong on certain topics, such as the idea that it is easy to frustrate him and throw him off of his game.

I'm interested in seeing how mido does this year, he could have a very good season. He impressed me last year in the EPL, he proved his worth and Tottenham wanted him back for this season.

The biggest factor in almost every game totti is in is whether or not totti has his way. If he does it will be difficult for Inter to come out on top.I couldn't believe totti was named to the best eleven of the world cup, he didn't have one match where he was brilliant. He had a few assists and one goal, his play was not impressive for the Azzuri.

[King Adriano]

maybe yes materazzi Vieira is a key of the game but not the key for the win,Ibrahimovic is such kind of assissting and scoring striker so he can help in both ways.

[ASTotti]

Damn you Zlatan you shameless diver. You won the match with your theatrics after all.
