Sounds like another pre-season tournament that doesn't really matter. In this case it does. It's Jose Mourinho's time to show soccer fans how he plans to use Inter for the Serie A.
Inter:
- 15 days before the Serie A starts, we can see what tactical formation Mourinho might use. The starting 11.
- New acquisitions?
- Shape of the Forwards, like Crespo, and Ibra. They'll be facing the best goalkeeper in the Portuguese league Quim. The 32 year old is in th ebest shape of his career. He was supposed to play in the Euro 2008 but that's another story. He got injured before the 1st euro 2008 match...
Benfica:
- New acquisitions will be presented a few days before.
- 1st season with former AC Milan player, Rui Costa, as one of the directors in Benfica. He's the public face right now when it comes to Benfica transfers. Players leaving, staying.
I plan to watch the game. I'm a fan of AS Roma but I'll be watching it because it's Jose Mourinho. Inter, the reigning scudetto champions. Figo. Benfica.
If it's not on TV I'll hear the live narration on Portuguese radio Antena 1.
- What interests you about this game? Mourinho's starting lineup? See if Inter can be as strong this season?
