I must say that I was surprised when reading that Inter Coach Roberto Mancini called 32 players!!!!! Usually, the calling goes up to 22 players. It is tough for Inter because the distance for the Scudetto with Roma is only 3 points. The first leg of the Semifinal ended 0-0.  So, it's all or nothing for Inter.

Now, here is the trick.  If Mancini risk his main players in LA COPPA ITALIA and injured themselves, then, my friends, it will be a moment to cry for Inter fans.  Inter might lose not only the Coppa Italia but also the Scudetto!

Problem is that Inter also want to win Italy Tim Cup / La Coppa Italia. So, I am wondering what will be Mancini's thinking.

Here are the 32 players called by Coach Roberto Mancini:

Goalkeepers: 1 Francesco Toldo, 12 Julio Cesar, 22 Paolo Orlandoni, 51 Vid Belec.

Defenders: 2 Ivan Ramiro Cordoba, 4 Javier Zanetti, 6 Maxwell, 13 Maicon, 16 Nicolas Burdisso, 23 Marco Materazzi, 24 Nelson Rivas, 25 Walter Samuel, 26 Cristian Chivu, 40 Ivan Fatic, 47 Marco Filippini.

Midfielders: 5 Dejan Stankovic, 7 Luis Figo, 11 Luis Jimenez, 14 Patrick Vieira, 15 Olivier Dacourt, 19 Esteban Cambiasso, 21 Santiago Solari, 28 Maniche, 30 Pelé, 31 Cesar, 36 Francesco Bolzoni, 43 Daniele Pedrelli.

Strikers: 9 Julio Ricardo Cruz, 18 Hernan Crespo, 29 David Suazo, 45 Mario Balotelli, 50 Luca Siligardi.

    You are right Anna, I am also waiting to see what will be Mancini's thinking for the match against Lazio. I will keep the main players for the match on Sunday because there are not much difference with Roma and we cannot afford a draw or a defeat. What do you think?
