Giampaolo Pazzini has signed with Inter Milan
Although Inter Milan have many talented strikers in the squad,such as Samuel Eto’o, Diego Milito, Goran Pandev, David Suazo and even youngster Denis Alibec, it seems that Leonardo was not satisfied with the efficiency of his strikers. Leonardo looked for another striker to score more goals.
After hard negotiations, Inter Milan succeeded to give a blow on the transfer market and they brought the leading scorer from Sampdoria Genova,Giampaolo Pazzini. Inter payed for Pazzini 12 million plus Jonathan Biabiany.
Pazzini is 26 years old and he is an Italian international. He has 14 caps and scored 1 goal for the Italian national.Leonardo introduced Pazzini on the field after the break when the score was 2-0 for Palermo.The Italian forward managed to return the result after scoring a double and then was fouled in the box and Samuel Eto`o scored the winning goal.
After this phenomenal debut, everyone expects that Pazzini to earn a place in the first eleven very soon, maybe in the next match against Bari.
Inter lost the first match with Leonardo
Despite having the first chance of the game, Internazionale Milano failed to practice the football from the last games. It was the first lose with Leonardo on the bench.
After five consecutive successes Inter fans believed that they become a title chalenger.The five successes have led many to believe that Inter is a invincible team again,but Udinese take them back to earth and they received a painful defeat.
This defeat is more painful because Inter managed to open the score, everyone was sure that Inter will win, but Udinese proved to be a hard nut to crack for the” Nerazzurri”, and managed to score three times without Inter to score.
This match has ended 3-1 to Udinese, and Inter departs from de first place,occupied by rivals Milan,who won the away match against Cesena. Now Milan are 9 points ahead,but Inter have a game less.
In case of a victory in that match Inter would return into the race for the title but if they would not win the title chances will be very small,especially that there are four teams ahead of them. Although there are still many games left until the end of the season, if they want to win again the title Inter need time to solve their defensive problems. The Nerrazuri conceded 14 goals in the first 15 rounds with Benitez, and now eight goals in five matches.
