Diego Simeone always recognized that once would like to be coach of Inter , the club he played for two seasons between 1997 and 1999. And from the Italian side, of course, await with open arms: "He said he would love to direct the team in the future. I guess Simeone Inter meet again , "admitted Javier Zanetti , Cholo mate in the neroazzurro and Argentina Selection and current vice president of the Milanese club.

Anyway, in dialogue with the Nation, the Pupi recognized that it is not time to think about that possibility: " Roberto Mancini is our coach for now, and out of respect for him and his work, not for talk about another coach." On the other hand, the former right - back referred toMauro Icardi and stressed that the idea is not detached from the front : " You have to understand that it is in Inter's very young, has great potential and can grow a lot still has to spend to play, nothing but intention is... I stay with us, beyond all the exposure that occurred in recent days. last year his contract was adjusted and is our captain, we want to continue. "

"Icardi stays in the club"

Faced with the imminent departure of Gonzalo Higuain headed for Juventus , Napoli is forced to leave the market to look for a center forward and one of the first names that they thought it Mauro Icardi . However, before it gets any offer from Inter were adamant: ". Icardi will stay at the club, our position is very clear it 's not a question of money, no matter what we can offer , " he told the sports director Milan set, Piero Ausilio.

In dialogue with the party site Fcinternews.it, the leader explained that in this case could not happen the same thing will happen to the Pipit, which will change the team because Juve will pay his buyout clause: "Icardi has no clause and not we sell. our plan this summer is to strengthen the squad. for that we are keeping Icardi and our best players, regardless of the figures offered ".

Moreover, Ausilio took care to clarify the relationship between the leadership and the front is good.. "There is no problem between us and Icardi He is working very hard he was with us for years and became the captain of a team with a glorious past. we have always been attentive to their needs and always renewed his contract at the right time. "

Mancini could leave Inter and Frank de Boer....

Frank de Boer could replace Roberto Mancini on the sidelines of Inter Milan .

The Italian team was acquired by Chinese investors in early June, but Mancini would be upset with the lack of reinforcements in the template, which seeks to return to the first planes of Serie A.

This Sunday, after the 3-1 defeat by the International Champions Cup against Paris Saint-Germain coach declined to comment on his future at Inter, a club with which he won the Scudetto in 2006, 2007 and 2008.

"Nothing has changed from two days ago, the situation is normal," Mancini told the media.

"We will see in the coming days. My meeting with (President Erick) Thohir? There is nothing to clarify on the issue," he added.

According to the Corriere dello Sport and other Italian publications, De Boer appears as one of the candidates to succeed Mancini in the Milan team, after leaving the Ajax . There was even been linked with Everton , English side finally hired also dutch Ronald Koeman .

While the press related to De Boer as Mancini's replacement, Dutch coach's agent, Guido Albers says that there has been no approach by the Nerazzurri.

"We have not escuhado anything about Inter," said Albers to Voetbal International. "It's a great club, but we have to wait for the moment. Frank is quiet for now , " he added.

The Burns Leagues, Juve flies, and Leicester ties "in extremis"

The home defeat of Barcelona against Valencia has put the League "red hot" in a European weekend which saw Juve flies in the Calcio, the Leicester save " in extremis "a point in the Premier League, Bayern Munich and increasingly close alirón in the Bundesliga .

The day in the Old Continent also had names of scorers: Swedish Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Paris Saint Germain), Poland 's Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich), and Argentine Sergio "Kun" Aguero ( Manchester City ) and Leo Messi ( Barcelona).

League, no doubt , is luxury, burns. Barcelona now seen as the Atletico Madrid will equal in the standings, although the Barcelona team is leading by "particularly between the two , " and as the Real Madrid is one point.

Something unthinkable only a month ago, when the Barcelona dominated widely, with up to 9 points ahead of Atletico and Real Madrid 13 over.

But Barcelona is dangerous "downhill". A spectacular fall in the league (a point in the last four games) has joined this week the elimination of Champions League Europe feet of Atletico Madrid. And the concern at the top.

Juventus-Inter 2-0: Bonucci and Morata tinged with Juventus the derby of Italy

Juventus sends KO Inter and packs the 17th consecutive helpful: Bonucci takes advantage of a mistake D'Ambrosio, Morata Stamps as a penalty card.

Mission centered for  Juventus : victory after two consecutive draws (in league and Champions League) and above, plus four momentary over Napoli tomorrow night will have to see if the externally against Fiorentina. The Bianconeri, from a rose of excellent workmanship, manage to prevail against an ' Inter  little dangerous in attack, punishable by a lightness of D'Ambrosio and, indeed, the long bench license plate Old Lady. And think about the third place, considering also climbing in Rome and Milan, for the Nerazzurri begins to become a daring thought.

NO SURPRISE  - Allegri recovers Chiellini and Alex Sandro for the match against Inter, both absent against Bayern Monaco, deployed from the first minute in the derby of Italy. Mancini, however, finds Kondogbia and loses the suspended Brozovic.Juventus on the field with Buffon in goal; Barzagli, Bonucci and Chiellini to dial the rear package, Lichtsteiner on the right lane and Alex Sandro on the left-handed; Hernanes in the control room for the injured Marchisio, supported by tactical sense of Khedira and the genius of Pogba; Mandzukic in attack assisted by Dybala.

Inter mirror: Handanovic in goal; Murillo, Miranda and Juan Jesus in defense;D'Ambrosio to grind kilometers on the right wing and same tasks for Telles on the left;density in midfield with former Felipe Melo, Medel and Kondogbia; Palacio (preferred Eder) to support the depth of Icardi in attack.

PRESSING BIANCONERO  - Hernanes, after an excellent proposal performance against Bayern Monaco, won a jersey holder accomplice Marchisio's injury; and, briefly, this move does not reveal immediately the lighting of the evening: powerful left touched by Handanovic on the pole. The Bianconeri take great courage and, on the axis Mandzukic-Dybala, by a whisker hosts do not find the advantage.

The Old Lady turns up the heat, great density in midfield and wide outside, guests in clear difficulty. The Prophet, thanks to a favorable physical and mental condition, repeatedly testing the conclusion, in short, anything but the player compared to that seen pre Bayern Monaco. Juventus created here and there, constantly Mandzukic at the forefront of physicality, an important weapon for high balls to climb over the Nerazzurri midfield. The Mancini's men try to show up with some kick, never finding fertile ground against a well positioned defense.

Inter have offered 100 million euros for Simeone

Inter Milan have offered this morning 100 million at Diego Simeone to train for five seasons the Italian team, according to the newspaper Sport.

According to this information, the club Nerazzurri made ​​him get their offer this Sunday the Argentine coach of Atletico Madrid , who on Saturday returned to stay with the derby against Real Madrid.

Simeone, who has a contract with Atletico until 2020, would have to negotiate their departure with the institution of the Manzanares whether to accept the 20 million per year that would pay Inter.

The dream of all Milan would be the 'Cholo' reached the Giuseppe Meazza to replace Roberto Mancini on the sidelines after the 2016-17 season.

The owner of Inter, the Indonesian Erick Tohir, would have taken this decision with his new economic partner, Proto Group LTD.

Simeone played two years at Inter (1997-98 and 1998-99), scoring 14 goals in 85 games.

Atletico Madrid won yesterday for the third consecutive season the derby against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu and was confirmed as the only alternative, though still distant, the authoritarian leader of the Liga , the Barcelona .

It was a new demonstration of power and strategy of the Argentine Diego Pablo Simeone team. It is a block that knows what he plays, leveraging its qualities and has been used to penalize the shortcomings of a rival who only left with the letter of the Champions League to save the course.

Atletico despaired to Real Madrid with few resources to go beyond the web that wove Simeone and gave the final stab with a precise shot to center Griezmann Brazilian Filipe Luis.

Zidane , who had not lost since Rafa Benitez relieved, I miss the imbalance of the Brazilian Marcelo . Nor could count on the Welsh Gareth Bale. The Frenchman Karim Benzema played only the first part after more than a week injured. The French technical cast hand of young Borja Mayoral, Lucas Vázquez and Jesse Rodriguez . But Real Madrid, among the protests, did not find the way and the wisdom to overcome the resistance rojiblanca.

Therefore, Atletico is second to five points of Barcelona, ​​who will receive on Sunday to Sevilla , Real Madrid and third to nine. La Liga, therefore, a chimera for white box, not only for the numerical difference, but by sensations, play and reliability. Zidane recognized him bluntly: "The league is finished."

The Derby d'Italia Juventus vs. Inter Milan: Match Preview

I would say that the rivalry between the Nerazzurri and the Bianconeri is even bigger than the one between the two Milanese teams. And that's why every year when these two teams face each other, regardless of the competition or the placement, there is always a lot of buzz for the event and the expectations that it will be a very exciting match are always high.

There are many reasons why this match is of particular relevance for the Nerazzurri:

1. The heated rivalry with Juventus, which also are one of the best team in Europe lately in terms of results. They enter this match having drawn their last two, but their most recent one came against Bayern Munich, so it counts as a very good result nonetheless.
2. The necessity of earning three points to avoid the possibility of losing ground from the other teams which are battling for the same target as Inter: the third place. It becomes even more important now that Fiorentina are out of the Europa League and Roma have one foot out of the Champions League after losing 2-0 against Real Madrid.
3. Being able to finally winning twice in a row. The last time Inter came home with three points in two consecutive matches was December 12th.
4. Winning is always a good thing. A very good one indeed.

It's always hard to stay positive when you are an Inter supporter, especially if you are following this club from a long time. We have boring decades of burning disappointments just to experience few years of pure joy and dominance, and despite that, our love is still untouched. Anyway, every week, when news about Inter's next match came out most of us can only think that it will be another failure for our beloved team. 

Cosmic pessimism aside, I don't think it would be just as easy as it was in the Coppa Italia for Juve this time. They come into this match more tired than the Nerazzurri and some key players injured like Asamoah, Caceres and Marchisio. The last one, who only played the first 45 minute against Bayern will probably be replaced by the same guy who took his place in the Champions League: Hernanes. Our old friend played a pretty good match against the Germans, so he may have built a little bit of confidence with that performance, but Inter know his inconstancy and should try to take advantage of his flaws.

The battle with our Bianconeri enemies doesn't end this Sunday though. In fact Inter will play against them again next week, on Wednesday, in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals, when they will try to perform an extremely difficult comeback after having lost 3-0 in the first encounter.

(Supposed) Starting XIs:

Juventus: Buffon: Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Khedira, Hernanes, Pogba, Alex Sandro; Mandzukic, Dybala.

Inter: Handanovic; Miranda, Murillo, Juan Jesus; D'Ambrosio, Felipe Melo, Medel, Kondogbia, Telles; Icardi, Palacio.

Icardi doublet Inter expands in front of the tip

Argentinian Mauro Icardi silenced his critics with two goals and Inter took a tentative four-point lead at the top of the Italian Serie A, to crush Udinese 4-0 on Saturday.

Another Argentine scored in the day. A goal from Franco Vazquez helped crush Palermo 4-1 Frosinone.

Meanwhile, Bologna continued its upward trajectory under the orders of coach Roberto Donadoni, and secured a 1-0 win at Genoa, another relegation-threatened club.

The comparison between Sassuolo and Torino was delayed by thick fog.

Icardi and Stevan Jovetic took serious failures behind Udinese to give the "Nerazzurri" a 2-0 lead at intermission. Captain Rosario delayed intercepted a lousy service and eluded Bruno Fernandes Maurizio Domizzi before enfilarse in a duel to beat goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis.

Then he was Domizzi who gave the ball to Jovetic. The Montenegrin escaped and defined with a high touch before leaving Karnezis.

Icardi, who shared the tip on the table of the top scorers last season, had been criticized in this campaign, by those who felt that are out of shape. But at the meeting he wore tuned and opportunistic.

"Scoring is their job," said Inter coach Roberto Mancini. "We are never worried about him because in the end he will score goals. It is normal for the front pass through a drought, but tonight he played well, like Jovetic. They begin to understand each other and that's a good sign."

At 83, Francesco Lodi was infected with the trend of the Udinese players and missed the ball. A new Icardi interception preceded the second goal of the Argentine. Marcelo Brozovic closed the account three minutes later.

Inter took an advantage of four points over Fiorentina, Juventus visiting Sunday, the same day that Napoli, which is third, will host the Roma.

"Who will support tomorrow? That does not change anything, it's too soon," Mancini said. "All the teams will continue fighting for the title."

Bologna goalkeeper Antonio Mirante, made several important saves to preserve the victory, and Luca Rossettini scored the winning goal with a header in injury time.

Genoa ended with a man down for the expulsion of Diego Perotti 10 minutes from time.

Bologna has 13 points in six games since Donadoni arrives, and walked five points of the relegation zone.

Vazquez made the second goal in the triumph of Palermo, who also scored by Edoardo Goldaniga, Aleksandar Trajkovski and Alberto Gilardino. The goal of the honor of Frosinone, which is 18th in the league, was handled by Paolo Sammarco.

Palermo overtook Genoa, which now stands at the 17th step.

Icardi reinforces the leadership of Inter Milan

Icardi scored in minutes 23 and 83. The other goals for his team were the work of the Montenegrin Stevan Jovetic (31) and the Croatian Marcelo Brozovic (86).

The 'Nerazzurri' fulfilled the mission to get the three points and will relax the direct duels of his pursuers on Sunday (Juventus-Fiorentina and Napoli-Roma), which are sure to strengthen its position.

With the three points, Inter provisionally stands with 4 more than Fiorentina (2nd), five on the Naples (3rd), eight ahead of Roma (4th) and nine of advantage over Juventus (5th).

But beyond the numbers, Inter managed to convey an image of Udine championship team, showing great strength and effectiveness, albeit helped by the candor of the home defense.

Precisely where the Inter defense is not showing fissures received only nine goals since the start of the league season.

In the list of good news for the Lombards it is certainly a return to a starring role Mauro Icardi, top scorer in the last Serie A (22 goals) and the two on Saturday raised its account in the course 6 2015 -2016.

In Inter's first goal, Icardi took control of the ball outside the area and went like a bullet towards the arch rival, ending with a cross shot that hit the goalkeeper, but could not avoid both (23 minutes).Soon after, Jovetic (31), raising a hand to hand with Udinese goalkeeper, scored the second.

Icardi definitely sentenced and in 83, with a new deadly cross shot, and 86 put Brozovic fourth with a superb shot from the edge of the area, a slight list.

- Bologna away from danger -

For its part, the Bologna (12th) won 1-0 at Genoa discount in the first match of the day, between two formations that are struggling to leave the lower classification.

In a game that looked set to zero to zero end, first the expulsion of Argentine midfielder Diego Perotti by Genoa (54), matched with the yellow double the Guinean Bologna Amadou Diawara at the last minute, gave emotion, until it in stoppage time defender Luca Rossettini gave the visitors the three points set with a powerful header off a corner.

With this defeat the hosts (17th) is only two points above the relegation places, marking the Frosinone 14 points (18th), who lost 4-1 at Palermo (15th), thanks to the three points I got four points above the relegation zone.

Goals from the Sicilians in that match were won by Edoardo Goldaniga (5 min), the Argentine Franco Vazquez (17), the Macedonian Aleksandr Trajkovski (60) and Alberto Gilardino (86).
