RESULTS Serie A Week 31 - Thirty First Round Match LAZIO 1 - 1 FC INTER Goal by Hernan Crespo and Tommaso Rocchi "Lazio dominated Inter who were saved only by goalkeeper Julio Cesar"
By Anna Italia
LAZIO HUMILIATED INTER AT THE OLIMPICO MAKING THEM LOOK WEAK
LAZIO 1 - 1 FC
INTER 
59' Tommaso Rocchi 11' Hernan Crespo
Substitutions: 83' De Silvestri out, Kolarov in 66' Maniche out, Luis Jimenez in
89' Rolando Bianchi out, Tare in 69' Zlatan Ibrahimovic out, David Suazo in
73' Christian Chivu out, Patrick Vieira in
What a way to start the match!
Rumors about the "SPECIAL ONE" Jose Mourinho replacing coach Roberto Mancini? Inter risk losing concentration and with only 7 more matches risk of losing the Scudetto is growing by the minute, actually, by the second!!!
Will Lazio BEAT Inter today?
Challenge is for former Lazio player Hernan Crespo to show Inter Coach Roberto Mancini that he can count on his goals. Crespo has not have many chances to play for Inter as the favorite striker for Mancini is Zlatan Ibrahimovic followed by Julio Cruz and David Suazo.
Advantage of Inter is knowing that Roma, their main contestant for the Scudetto obtained a draw against Cagliari. If Inter beat Lazio then, my friends, most likely Inter will take the Scudetto.
Just before the match, INTER PLAYERS thank all Inter fans traveling to the Olimpico di Roma to support them.
In the 7th minute, Lazio missed a chance to open the score! Rolando Bianchi shoots from outside the box after an assist by Cristian Ledesma but the ball misses the target!!!
In the 9th minute, former Lazio player Hernan Crespo who is trying to shine today to satisfy Inter fans, is found offside!
In the 9th minute, Inter gets a free kick with Nelson Rivas.
In the 11th minute, Maicon sends an assist to Hernan Crespo!
Wow, that's it guys! You won't believe it! Wow AM I HAPPY OR WHAT!!!!! Although I am cheering for Lazio, it makes me happy to see HERNAN CRESPO scoring!!!!! Crespo shoots from close range to the center of the net blasting Lazio goalkeeper Marco Ballotta!!! Wowwwww awesome!!!! GO CRESPOOOOO!!!!!
LAZIO 0 - 1 FC INTER
Uffa... Guys, what a dilemma!!!! I want Lazio to beat Inter to help ROMA keep the race for the Scudetto alive, but I am also happy for HERNAN CRESPO scoring! He is one of my favorite players!
In the 13th minute, Cristian Ledesma sends a cross to Emilson Cribari who heads the ball to the bottom left corner and is saved!!!!! UFFAAA this would have been the equalizing goal!!!
What a relief for Lazio and for ROMA fans!!!!
In the 59th minute, Lazio striker Tommaso Rocchi gets an assist by Cristian Ledesma and it was a DIVINE INSPIRATION! Rocchi shoots from the center of the box to the very bottom left corner blasting Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar!!!!! THE STADIO OLIMPICO explodes!!!! Lazio equalized the score and is helping indirectly their rival "LA ROMA"
LAZIO 1 - 1 FC INTER
A revealing match showing a terrible INTER!!! A total shame Lazio has not been able to break the draw because Inter has given them many chances. The answer guys is "GOALKEEPER JULIO CESAR" blocking every attempt!
Hey, LAZIO is giving a hard time to Inter. No doubt that LAZIO has played better. Too bad goalkeeper Julio Cesar has blocked may attempts to score from Lazio. Practically, Inter is having a good luck because Lazio had dominated. The Serie A Standings now ends with FC Inter 69 points and Roma in second position with 65 points.
Bottom line, my friends, Roma and Inter disappointed their fans!

You were lucky because Lazio dominated you like Anna mentioned in the post. I am mad because Lazio could not win this match when Inter gave them many chances.

Pietro I cannot contradict you this time because there are no excuse for Inter playing so bad. I don't know if Hilda will agree with me on this point. As an Inter fan, I am disappointed and it's obvious that internal divisions are undermining the well job done since the beginning of the season.

Mark you are right, No more excuse for Inter. It's not as if they had Champions League to focus on. They failed to capitalise Roma's slip. They just gave such a shabby performance on the field. What a shame!!!
Reply to this
Hilda our team is really risking to throw the Scudetto for stupidity! Don't you think? shabby performance? I would say a total SHAME! Had not been for Crespo's goal we would have lost this match because Ibra was nowhere to see.

INTER started so well and in the last stage just before arriving to the FINAL MOMENT to get the Scudetto it seems you guy are crumbling!
Unbelievable, I can't get over how IBRAHIMOVIC is becoming a villain! He did so good with Inter and now throwing everything away?
Hilda, I would say that SHABBY PERFORMANCE is a "soft word", Inter WAS CHAOTIC!!!!! How's that?
Mark, you are absolutely right, "it's plain stupidity" Inter losing for stupid internal divisions?
Why not setting aside the "PROBLEM"?
Reply to this
Hilda a total shame! I agree with Mark's comment on being a "stupidity." Man, i wish my Milan has your chances to win the Scudetto this year but we might now even qualifiy for the Champs!

I agree and maybe Moratti should do well to leave Roberto Mancini decides in the dressing room. If Ibra is creating these internal divisions between him, Figo, Crespo and company, then, let Mancini controls the situation. What do you think guys? Stupidity is the right word for what's going on in Inter, don't you think Hilda?

Mark, I like to quote Bill Shankly's saying " In football, there is a holy trinity - the players, the managers and the supporters- directors don't come in, they just write the checks." That's why Bill Shankly had successful dragged Liverpool out of second dividson and become one of the most successful team in football. Case in point: Mancini should have total control over team.
Reply to this
Hilda, what a wise quote!
I love your final case in point and I follow your motion. "Mancini should have total control over the team." I am sure Anna agree with your view too. Right ?
Reply to this
Of course I agree with that final remark!
I feel so bad for Roberto Mancini because he lacks authority and players are ruining the work he has done!
