In the 27th minute, another chance for Inter to score when forward Mario Balotelli provides the assist to midfielder Dejan Stankovic shooting from outside the box and what seemed to be a goal is blocked! Wow... It would have been a super boost for the morale of the team to have another goal in the first half.
Amazing, in the 37th minute, again the duo Balotelli - Stankovic! Balotelli provides an assist to Stankovic who misses the target. Guys, this is good news for Mourinho seeing the chemistry between Balotelli and Stankovic.
Just two minutes after and Werder Bremen responds with forward Claudio Pizzarro in the 39th minute. Sebastian Prodl provides the assist and Pizarro shoots from close range and incredible so, the ball hits the right post!
Saved by the post!!! Come on, the least thing Inter needs right now is to get a draw. Wake up guys!
- In the 44th minute, Diego provides an assist to Mesut Ozil who shoots from outside the box to the center of the goal and is saved by Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar!!!! Well done Julio!
In the 51st minute, a dangerous Bremen! Gee, they returned from the half time more determined to score. Markus Rosenberg provides the assist to Mesut Ozil shooting from outside the box to the top right corner and thanks God Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar is firmly guarding the goal making a save!!!!
Hey, hey, hey, a minute after, in the 52nd minute, Balotelli provides a headed pass to Ibrahimovic not making it on time and misses the target to the right after shooting from outside the box.
In the 54th minute, Super Adriano with a left footed shot from outside the box sends a super missile to the bottom right corner and is saved!!!! I am telling you guys, Adriano is making his comeback. Just hope he scores now but so far he has demonstrated consistency and his drive to play at his best.
In the 57th minute, Petri Pasanen provides the assist to Diego and my gosh he shoots from outside the box to the top right corner and there you go Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar stretching to save!!! hey, Werder Bremen is determine to score, a total different attitude in this second half and they keep pressing and Inter leaving empty spaces.
No, no, no, and no!!! In the 62nd minute, what I was afraid of just happened! Sebastian Prodl provides an assist to Peruvian forward Claudio Pizarro who without hesitation shoots from very close range to the bottom left corner where this time our Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar could not save. A total blast and I have a headache.
FC Inter 1 - 1 Werder Bremen.
Now, Mourinho better shape up his strategy and make a more offensive plan. Inter must score in the next 10 minutes or Werder Bremen will profit from this boost and might surprise us at the Giuseppe Meazza. Forza Inter, wake up.
In the 86th minute, Werder Bremen makes their last substitution. Sebastian Prodl out, Defender Clemens Fritz in.
Clearly, with only 4 more minutes, Bremen want to defend this "golden draw" at all cost by bringing Fritz.
In the 88th minute, great headed assist by Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Julio Cruz shooting from outside the box to the center of the goal and is saved by Werder Bremen goalkeeper Wiese!!!! Mamma mia
wow... what a scary end!!! In the 93rd minute, Inter goalkeeper has just saved the last attempt to score from Werder Bremen! Defender Naldo shoots from outside the box to the center of the goal and you bet all Inter fans at the Meazza almost had a heart attack! Luckily Julio Cesar was there to save what would have been a humiliating defeat. After all this draw was better than losing at home. Don't you think?
For the first time, Inter fans contest coach Jose Mourinho and whistles start making echo at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. Wow. The honeymoon ending that early? I think Inter can recover but something "is just not clicking." Mourinho is recovering Adriano and great combination with Zlatan, but where are the goals and how about strengthening the defense?
