Serie A Week 5 - 3/10/04 (20.30)
Roma - Inter


Stadio Olimpico

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All eyes will be on the Stadio Olimpico in Week 5 as Gigi Del Neri makes his debut on the Roma bench against an Inter side desperate to keep their Scudetto dreams intact. The Giallorossi have had a disastrous start to the season but Inter’s results haven’t been that clever after just one win and three draws.

Del Neri becomes the club’s third boss in the space of a month and all in Rome will be hoping he is the right man to revive the giants. There were some high expectations during the summer after Cesare Prandelli replaced Juventus-bound Fabio Capello. However, he was forced to quit due to family problems and his replacement Rudi Voller lasted just 26 days!

The former Chievo miracle worker inherits a decent squad but one which is low on confidence. They lost 3-1 to nine-man Bologna last Saturday and then gave away a two goal lead at Real Madrid to finally lose 4-2 on the night. Del Neri will employ 4-4-2 tactics but it remains to be seen who will be fielded where.

Inter come into the game after surviving a real scare from bottom of the table Parma last week. The Emilia side twice took the lead only for super-sub Oba Martins to net a brace after he came on for an ineffective Christian Vieri. The latter may not start in Rome though due to a small knee injury and calls from owner Massimo Moratti that he should be dropped.

However, Coach Roberto Mancini’s real problems are not in attack but in defence. The Nerazzurri, who sold Fabio Cannavaro to Juventus in the summer, have really struggled at the back having conceded seven goals in four games. But can Roma, who themselves have real defensive issues to resolve, take full advantage?



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roma (probable): Pelizzoli; Panucci, Ferrari, Mexes, Candela; Mancini, Perrotta, De Rossi, Dacourt; Totti, Cassano

Inter (probable): Toldo; J Zanetti, Cordoba, Burdisso, Favalli; Van der Meyde, Davids, Veron, Stankovic; Recoba, Adriano

This will be the biggest test that both teams have had to face since the start of the season. Roma seem to have their coach problem in check by signing Del Neri while Inter are doing well after beating Anderlecht 3-1 in the CL. Hopefully the squad can bring its A game vs. Roma and really be aggressive and go after the victory full force.

Here's the lineup that I'd love for Mancini to field on Sunday.

-------------Adriano------------------Martins

---Stankovic---Cambiasso---Veron---Van der Meyde

-----J. Zanetti----Burdisso-----Cordoba--Ze Maria

-----------------------------Toldo

amazing how scudettos hopes are already in the balance as these two teams need the win badly

last match was 4-1 to roma, but that was a different roma side

this match i see roma coming out like they did against real and taking an early advantage. but squandering the lead in the second half only for francesco totti to unleash brilliance and give roma the win

roma 3 - 2 inter

cassano adriano
de rossi adriano
totti

guys this is from a neutral perspective,

guys dont under-estimate roma,

they had real madrid worried up until real came home in a barnstorming 2nd half infront of their fans at the santiago bernabeu stadium.

this will be a close one, however i feel mancio is starting to figure out his sides strengths and weaknesses. it will take del neri a couple weeks maybe 3-4 to asses romas playing abilities.

with these two facotrs in mind it will either be a drawn game at the stadio olimpico, or it may be inter by one goal!!

my prediction will probably be:

Roma 1-2 Inter

I think Veron played well against Inter. He seemed to have a lot of energy and was all over the picth winning tackles and passing well.

I'd say 3-1 Inter for this with Veron, Martins and who else but Adriano scoring for Inter. Totti free kick for Roma.

I wish Del Neri had been appointed after this match. New coaches, especially of his calibre, always get a result in their first home game.

With Moratti and Facchetti both wanting Vieri to rot on the bench for the next little while, King Recoba and Martins will surely see some action........this will be sweet.
