Weakness on paper means nothing, as it just creates problems because all of the players on the favoured team develop "swollen heads". When they go into a game over-confident, just like Juventus has done so many times before, they **** themselves over.

Bring on Milan, says Moratti Wednesday 16 March, 2005

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inter chief Massimo Moratti says he wants to face Juventus or Milan in the last eight of the Champions’ League.

The Nerazzurri booked their place in the quarter-finals with a 3-1 win over Porto last night and the owner now wants an all Italian tie.

"I would like Juventus or Milan which would give us a chance for revenge," Moratti stated, referring to the semi-final loss to the Rossoneri two years ago.

"While the team to avoid in Friday’s draw are Lyon because they have been playing together for some time."

Despite some difficulties, the Nerazzurri knocked the reigning champions out of Europe on Tuesday thanks to an Adriano hat-trick.

"I did suffer and I didn’t see the best Inter but we had the chances," added the former President.

"There seemed to be a lot of nervousness but I am happy for Adriano. He is untouchable and I hope that Real Madrid don’t contact us about him because they would be wasting their time."

Moratti also rubbished reports that boss Roberto Mancini could have been sacked if the team were eliminated.

"I’m not even thinking about changing Coach," he noted. "We have drawn a lot of games this season but we are playing better than in the past.

"We have a project for the future and I’m sure that we have what is needed to reach the European Cup Final this season."

The San Siro crowd also used last night’s match to express their thoughts on a possible Ronaldo return.

The Curva Nord chanted: "Ronaldo, we don’t want you." That was followed by a long round of applause by 70,000 at the San Siro.

The Real Madrid striker, who left the outfit in 2002, has recently suggested that he was ready to come back to Milan.

Moggi Wants PSV Clash
3/16/2005 4:05:00 PM
The Juventus General Director would welcome a tie against the Dutch champions in the quarter finals of the Champions League.
Luciano Moggi has commented this Friday’s Champions League draw where he expressed his opinion on the teams he would like to meet and avoid.

“If I had to choose, it would be PSV Eindhoven,” declared Moggi.

However the team he would most like to avoid most is Inter.

“The Nerazzurri are always dangerous and difficult to face,” concluded the transfer guru.

Del Piero Predicts English Opponents For Juve
3/16/2005 3:47:00 PM
The Bianconeri’s captain feels that his side will meet either Chelsea or Liverpool in the quarter finals of the Champions League.
On Friday afternoon at Nyon, the draw for the next round of the Champions League will be made, which should result in some mouth watering pairings. Juventus’ resurgent forward, Alessandro Del Piero, has indicated an English team as the next possible opponent for the Old Lady in this competition.

“I have the sensation that our next opponents will speak English,” stated the Italian international player.

Del Piero also commented about the introduction of technology in the football world following last Sunday’s match between Chievo and Juve, where the Flying Donkeys were denied a legitimate goal as neither the referee nor linesman noticed that the ball had crossed the line.

“There’s little to say about the goal’s episode, the ball was in, even though from my pitch position I didn’t see anything. Maybe the only solution for this type of situation is really the electronic system, but I rather stop here, as it’s not up to me to offer suggestions on this thing.”
