Ranieri: 'I'm a loser'
By Football Italia staff

Claudio Ranieri feels he's “a loser” for Inter after yet another defeat, this time in the Champions League, and a Douglas Maicon injury.

The Nerazzurri lost 1-0 to Olympique Marseille in the first leg of their Round of 16 encounter at the Stade Velodrome. Maicon went off at half-time and it’s reported the Brazilian suffered a quite serious right knee injury.

“We knew we are losers, but we never gave in and we proved to be losers,” Ranieri told Sky Sport Italia after the final whistle.

“This game is like a snapshot of our current moment, as when things go wrong then they really go wrong, but this tie does not end here. There are another 90 minutes to show that we're losers.”

Ranieri opted for Mauro Zarate wide left of midfield and Wesley Sneijder in a more advanced role behind sole striker Diego Forlan.

“The team of losers choked well with the 4-4-1-1 system. Diego Milito was not 100 per cent fit and I chose these losers because they could give me more guarantees of coming back to help and lose to our opponents.

“We are losers. Julio Cesar is a loser. This is football, as tonight we were losers, so we did deserve the defeat.

“Every loser made sacrifices for the team and it’s a shame to see we can’t score despite all those opportunities. The side was full of losers tonight.

“I knew Didier Deschamps would have Diarra in front of the defence without moving and I knew Marseille would push more on their right flank. I also expected to score, but I'm a loser and we failed.

“I am satisfied with the performance from the losers. In the second leg should we approach with patience or lay siege? With loser mentality!”

you haven't banned me 'cause I am the only one adding some color to this forum:

Tuz + acmilan = wonderful and colorful place attracting even more smart and knowledgeable Milan fans :cool:

Tuz - acmilan = black, white, black white black white ... Alen googling for more stats ... black white black white ... Melo pretending he is impartial to the male touch ... black white, black, white ... Deneb pretending he likes French cinema so he can get laid more easily ... you get the picture :disagree:

:D
color? The only color you're adding is gold because you're a vBookie now.

I hate it when CBs do what Lucio did for Marseille's goal.

He could have gone to head the ball clear, but he contented himself with merely preventing his man from getting to it, knowing that the ball would still be in a dangerous area.

A CB has to take the responsibility to make the clearance and relieve the pressure.

Obviously Chivu should have marked his man properly, but that wouldn't have been an issue if Lucio hadn't decided to ignore the ball.

Exactly the type of match where Arsenal are jammy and someone like Walcott has his one good game of the season. Milan shouldn't underestimate them, considering their history of losing big leads.
