True to form, Milan came out firing and created a number of early scoring opportunities. Gianluca Pegolo did well to […]

If you’re a die-hard Inter Milan fan like I am, you must have been disappointed by the team’s season last year. It’s not really hard to understand what happened last season. The club made several mistakes in 2011 and unfortunately paid for most of them. First off the team lost its philosophy, its mental strength and its winning mentality from the Mourinho era. A (record?) total of four managers in less than one year brought different tactical systems and different […]
