Icardi-Podolski and Inter sees Europe – Corriere dello Sport.it

SENT UDINE – By winning his third win in their last four matches, Inter have taken another step towards the Europa League fueling a run that only weeks ago seemed impossible. To bring home the three points at Udinese and bring overnight at -1 and -2 from Fiorentina sixth from fifth Sampdoria, Inter have suffered a lot in spite of Stramaccioni men have remained even in the ninth for the expulsion of Domizzi (double yellow 40 ‘of the first half) and Badu (right red for dissent 13′ of the second half). Mancini did not like and was very upset about how his men were administered before the 1-0 signed by Icardi penalty spot (18 ° center, as top scorer Tevez) and then the 2-1 Podolski, the first center in Italy . Amid the network of Christmas, at number 205 goals in Serie A. Paradoxically Inter played better in the first fraction in equal numbers that when he had to control the match and administer it. Thohir, however, can smile because the team has found a certain continuity of performance and “straightened” a ranking that Sunday after the match against Chievo could further improve.
