Internazionale Milan is great team but big disadvantage of this great team is Ibra-factor. If he is cheerful, everyhinh is OK and Inter play great, expecially in ofence. But when Ibra has not his great day, then game of Inter is borning..But just 3-2 against Reggina in last round and previously 0-0 agains Genoa and 0-0 against Fiorientina, clearly show that Inter play not so great as it was expected from this team. But games in Seria A are one competetion and champions league is another one. After they won so many titles in Italy in a row, Internazionale focused more on CL and that shows arrival of Jose Mourinho til Italy in this season.
Inter Milan want succes in CL in this season and i think that this is their main target in this season. Game of Inter is not great but stil they lost just one time in this season ( 0-1 against AC Milan). Anorthosis is not a team wich can beat Inter in this comeptetion. Inter is elading in this group with 7 points and win in this game can secure them a first position. Anorthosis have 4 points and follow Werder with 3 points and Panathanaikos with one point. In last three games Inter will play two times away (Anorthosis and Werder) and one time in Italy against Panathanaikos. OF course Inter can take draw here and win over Panathanaikos in Italy and again will secure first position but on this way they cant account on any succes in champions league. To take something from this competetion, team must be always in form and win almost all games til final. That showed Man Utd in last season and Liverpool in previously seasons.
So Inter travel to Cyprus to take all points and i am sure that will take it. They won just 1-0 over them in Italy. Also Inter in one very bad game played just 1-1 against Werder. So with this games they cant win something from champions league coz in next round they will be eliminated if they play like this. But Mourinho had time to chance tactic against Anorthosis and i think that we will see a new Inter Milano here in this game.
Players of Inter for game against Anorthosis:
Goalkeepers: 1 Francesco Toldo, 12 Julio Cesar, 22 Paolo Orlandoni.
Defenders: 2 Ivan Ramiro Cordoba, 6 Maxwell, 13 Maicon, 16 Nicolas Burdisso, 23 Marco Materazzi, 39 Davide Santon.
Midfielders: 4 Javier Zanetti, 5 Dejan Stankovic, 14 Patrick Vieira, 19 Esteban Cambiasso, 33 Amantino Mancini, 36 Francesco Bolzoni, 44 Luca Tremolada, 77 Ricardo Quaresma.
Strikers: 8 Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 9 Julio Ricardo Cruz, 41 Mattia Destro, 45 Mario Balotelli.
We can see that Inter have almost strongest side for this game and i expect that will easy win over Anorthosis. My pick is Inter with -1...
