Inter’s summer tour continues with a 1-1 draw at Vicarage Road thanks to a late strike from youngster Marco Andreolli.
There were good early chances for both sides with King, Young, Dejan Stankovic and Adriano, whose effort was well held by goalkeeper Lee. New Watford signing Danny Shittu combined with Lee to keep out Obafemi Martins on the stroke of half-time.
It was the Hornets who broke through on the hour mark with King’s low right-foot finish, having turned Walter Samuel in defence. Inter earned a point 15 minutes from time when Andreolli was quick to meet David Pizarro’s cross from the right.
“I am fairly satisfied with the performance, especially considering the hard training work we did yesterday,” Roberto Mancini told the official Inter website.
“I didn’t expect us to be very sharp against a side that is physically at a more advanced stage of preparation. We did some good things, some not so good, but that’s only normal. We had promising first half chances and the important thing is to create opportunities. The goal we conceded was only due to a distraction.”
Mancio again tested out the 4-3-3 system with Martins and Santiago Solari stretching the opposition defence.
“Martins always tends to gravitate towards the centre, so our play was mostly down the left with Solari,” explained the tactician.
The former Lazio boss also commented on the arrival of Hernan Crespo from Chelsea this week, beating competition from rivals Milan.
“He knows how to score goals and all the rest. Hernan is hooking up with a series of strikers at our disposal in a very good squad and I think he can be of help to the others.”
Inter: Julio Cesar (Toldo 46), Cordoba (Andreolli 64), Zanetti (Fautario 76), Stankovic, Samuel (Marino 76), Pizarro (Belaid 83), Adriano (Cesar 46), Maicon (Bonucci 83), Dacourt (Cambiasso 46), Solari (Choutos 64), Martins (Slavkovski 83)
