FC INTER - AS LIVORNO (before the match)
Giuseppe Meazza Stadium
Serie A Standing:  FC Inter 1st position, 60 points
                              AS Livorno  20th position, 24 points

Mission Accomplished !  It' was the right time for Inter to change their latest "draw" trends by delivering a victory at the Meazza to keep the leadership.  AC Milan failed to defeat Parma and now the one point difference with Inter becomes FOUR POINTS difference.

 Livorno could not be the DAVID beating GOLIATH...  Cosmi saying that they just needed "to play the perfect game" and grab the victory. However, the players after the first goal seem losing the strategy for the perfect match.

Inter  played their cards carefully as next week they are facing maybe the most important match so far which is defeating CSKA Moscow in the Champions League to keep their hope of qualifying to the Semifinals. Plus, Inter will have to face before AS Roma for the next round of the Serie A also challenging Inter for the Scudetto.

Here is the official starting eleven formation from INTER by coach Jose Mourinho:


FC Inter: 12 Julio Cesar; 13 Maicon, 2 Ivan Cordoba,23Marco Materazzi, 26 Christian Chivu; 4  Javier Zanetti, 19 EstebanCambiasso, 8 Thiago Motta; 7Quaresma, 9 Samuel Eto'o, 27 Goran Pandev.

Bad news for Inter not recovering their main "architect in the midfield" Wesley Sneijder, also risking big time for muscular problems is Diego Milito.  Milito is listed among the substitutes. However  there is the return from injury of defender Cristian Chivu after his January 6 head injury.  Among the called up list is Mario Destro from the youth team. 


Here is the official starting eleven formation from AS LIVORNO by coach Serse Cosmi:

AS Livorno: 25 Rubinho; 2 Romano Perticone, 4 NelsonRivas, 13Dario Knezevic; 77 Cristian Raimondi, 2 Filippini, 7 Pulzetti, 22Prutsch, 46 Mirko Pieri; 19Davide Di Gennaro; 9 Tomas Danilevicius.

Balotelli was not called up for the match, but he is in the tribune watching the game.

It took half hour for Inter to break Livorno.  In the 36th minute, an assist by Thiago Motta towards Samuel Eto'o coming from the center of the box to deliver a right footed shot blasting Livorno goalkeeper Rubinho in the top right corner.  The joy from Eto'o and his teammates celebrating this goal.  It's the 9th goal of the season from Eto'o returning to score in the championship since December 20, 2009.
FC Inter  1 -  0 AS Livorno

Wow, just five minutes later and there you go, it's Samuel Eto'o again!!!!  This time a super overhead kick  by Eto'o with his right footed shot, an excellent rovesciata blasting Livorno goalkeeper Rubinho  in the bottom right corner. Eto'o running to celebrate the goal like flying an airplane towards the fans.  Way to go for Eto'o.
FC Inter 2 - 0 AS Livorno

In the 61st minute, Inter already with a show time with the goal by Brazilian defender Maicon. An assist by Thiago Motta to Maicon delivering a right footed shot  giving a headache to Livorno goalkeeper in the bottom right corner.  It's Inter time at the Meazza....
FC Inter 3 - 0 AS Livorno
