Cesar Labels Torres A Diver
Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar insists Inter can progress to the quarter-finals of the competition, and wants the fans to up the ante and San Siro in the return leg. He also slammed Fernando Torres for diving.
Comeback Possible
Cesar made a series of fine saves that seemed set to earn Inter a goalless draw against Liverpool at Anfield. However, the Reds scored twice in the final five minutes to pick up what looks to most like a decidive win.
Cesar believes otherwise.
"I have seen this team overturn results on many occasions since I arrived at Inter," he told Inter Channel after the game. "I can remember, for example, the Italian Super Cup against Roma when we came from 3-0 down to win 4-3.
"With the help of our fans we can pressurise the English from the start and win it. It will be hard, but it's not over yet."
Difficult Against Ten Men
The Brazilian admitted that Inter struggled after going a man down.
"It was hard away to Liverpool with ten men against eleven," he said. "We held up until five minutes from the end, and we were unlucky too. For their first goal the ball would have finished in my hands if it hadn't deflected off Maicon.
"Compliments to Gerrard for the second, but I have to say that Chivu covered my vision a bit. I spoke about it with him at the end, but if Cristian hadn't made that sliding interception at the end, there would probably have been a second own goal.
"It's a pity, because with ten men we played an almost perfect match. They held the ball up well but only had one chance through Torres.
"Unfortunately that deflection off my friend Maicon changed a game which could have finished in a draw. "
Torres A Diver
He concluded by speaking of Marco Materazzi's sending off for two bookable offences.
"Materazzi's bookings? Torres dived for the first yellow," he said, mincing no words for the Spanish striker.
"The booking was undeserved and the second was excessive. Marco is sad now and I understand him.
"But we will come back all together, like we have done in the past."Frank Barrone
