EuroFootball.com portal is starting a new section - "Thoughts of Fans"! From now on, we will talk to the indifferent supporters of the clubs competing before the most important, interesting, and most talked-about matches.
The first such match is already tonight, when at 21:45 Lithuanian time the ambitious London team "Tottenham" and last year's UEFA Champions League winners - Inter Milan players will step onto the field.
Cartoon, a forum member supporting the Spurs team, and an Inter Milan fan who triumphed during the World Championships and is loyal to the "nerazzurri" club shared their thoughts about the approaching match.
Cartoon: The match in Italy was determined by a very poor first half. After 45 minutes, we were already behind 4-0. The first moments of the match did not promise anything good, as we conceded a very fast goal. Of course, the second half was played better, although "Spurs" had one player less. However, it was clear that "Inter" did not play at full strength, there was a sense of relaxation. I especially liked Gareth Bale's performance.
Inter Milan fan: A won match in ten minutes. In the second half, "Inter" no longer played soccer, they just waited for the final whistle. However, after leading 4-0 in the first half, it was hard to prepare for the second part of the match. Bale's show saved the "Tottenham" team from a big defeat.
EuroFootball.com: Match favorite.
Cartoon: I would consider the "Inter" team as the favorite, although the chances are more or less equal. "Spurs" play significantly better at home than away. This was also shown in the Champions League qualifying match against Bern's "Young Boys" club.
Inter Milan fan: Without any doubt - "Internazionale". Although the team is depleted by injuries - they will play without several important players - I think they will still achieve victory. This year, everything is going smoothly in the group stage so far, which I did not even think about when the draw was made.
EuroFootball.com: Key to success.
Cartoon: It is very important not to concede an early goal. The defense of "Tottenham" players will also play a significant role. If we want to win, we must stop "Inter" striker Samuel Eto'o. Players need to trust their abilities and not be afraid of the opponent's authority. Of course, the individual performances of "Spurs" leaders Rafael Van Der Vaart and Bale will also be crucial.
Inter Milan fan: The key to success in this match could be Rafa Benitez, who spent many years in the English Premier League. As always, one could highlight the team's fighting spirit. Today is a great opportunity to secure a place in the next stage, which I think should further motivate the team to seek victory.
EuroFootball.com: Goals in the Champions League.
Cartoon: The main goal is to advance from the group stage and enter the top 16 teams. Of course, with success, more can be achieved. The current "Tottenham" team is capable of competing with all clubs, so surprises can happen. If we fail to secure at least the second place in the group, I would consider the performance in the tournament unsuccessful.
Inter Milan fan: The only goal after last year is to defend the title.
