Inter Milan can still progress, Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho - UEFA Champions League
Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho maintains strong faith in his former team and believes that the Nerazzurri can still find a way through to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League tonight against the German club Schalke 04.
The 1st leg of the game was a shocker for the men in black and blue as the club was humiliated 5-2 at San Siro by a German outfit that is struggling to find consistency in the Bundesliga. The defeat was the club's second humiliating loss in a row as the Nerazzurri had just lost the Derby della Madonnina 3-0 to their bitter city rivals, AC Milan.
The 5-2 defeat means that Inter will have to win by the margin of at least 4 goals to make it to the next round of the UCL. The Nerazzurri president Massimo Marotta has already reckoned the target to be unachievable and called it ‘Mission Impossible’, but the head coach Leonardo http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Zanetti-c18096 are focused on the match.
Leonardo and Zanetti, talking to the media recently, stressed on being focused on the upcoming game as they belive the team is more than capable of creating histroy. Jose Mourinho has also backed up the tactician and Captain, saying that the team has done wonders in the past and they don’t need miracles to make something happen. Talking to the media recently, Mourinho said:
“If I know a team that has character, personality, strong friendship between the players and isn't afraid of complicated situations, this is http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Good-Luck-c39444 to each other. It's no mystery that I like Inter and that I would always like to see them win. Right now they are champions of Europe, but it's not written that champions should always win. They can lose with dignity. I will be supporting Inter, but supporting them isn't always sufficient. It's up to them to do the job.”
Leonardo’s men go to Veltins-Arena at Gelsenkirchen tonight for the return leg of the quarter-final. Inter’s dream of achieving the Treble again this season seems no longer possible but the course of 90 minutes can change the game.
