I'm checking out the opposition tonight on Rai 2, the friendly between Inter & Partisan Belgrade, & though I don't have a lot of love for Inter as a club, I do respect some of the players. I'm curious to see how David Suazo will do having been with Cagliari so long & now finally getting the chance with a big club. The answer is as I thought, promising so far. Ibrahimovic scored, 18 mins, subbed 27 mins, Julio Cruz on. Inter look quite sharp so it will be as well for us if we face them in the coming August friendlies with a positive attitude!
addition: I prefer the Italian "triangolo" tournament friendlies. Each of the 3 teams plays the other, once, over 45 mins meaning that they all play a full 90 mins & we get 135 mins of competitive football to watch because each team has to be competitive. Tonight was so typical of many "normal" friendlies where only the 1'st half was of any consequence because of so many 2'nd half substitutions. Finished 1-0 Inter.
