HISTORY

1908
At the beginning of the century, Milan derbies did not exist. At that time there was only "Milan Cricket and Football Club" (now AC Milan). But on 9 March 1908, a group of rebels form "Football Club Internazionale Milano". The name of the club derives from the wish of its founding members to accept foreign players as well as Italians, hence the name Internazionale. Indeed, the first captain of the side is a Swiss player - Hernst Manktl. The club colours are gold, black and blue, a tradition which has been kept right up to the present day.
 

1910
Inter win the Italian league for the first time. The captain of the championship-winning team is Virgilio Fossati, who several years later dies in World War I. But even without Fossati, Inter win their second title in 1920.

1930
During the Fascist era, the club is forced to merge with the Milanese Unione Sportiva and the team wins its third Scudetto under the name of Ambrosiana Inter.

1934
Nerazzurri Allemandi, Castellazzi, Demaria and the legendary Giuseppe Meazza win the World Cup with the Italian national team in Rome in 1934. Two years later, Frossi and Locatelli win the gold medal at the Berlin Olympics.

1938
Inter players Ferraris II, Ferrari, Locatelli and Meazza are involved in the Azzurri set-up that wins the 1938 World Cup in Paris. The same year, Inter win their fourth Scudetto, while the clubs first Coppa Italia success comes in 1939. Another league title arrives in 1940, while the name Ambrosiana is abandoned in October 1945, after which the club returns to its previous name Inter.

1947
Giuseppe Meazza plays the last of his 408 official matches in an Inter shirt. The Inter striker, who attains legend status with his 287 goals for the club, dies in 1979, and a year later the San Siro stadium is named in his honour.

1953
The Nerazzurri win their sixth Scudetto in 1953 and repeat the success a year later thanks to four great protagonists Italian Benito "Veleno" Lorenzi, Swede Skoglund Dutchman Wilkes and the stateless Nyers.

1963
The "Great Inter" era begins. The club president is Angelo Moratti, the coach is Helenio Herrera and the line-up is unforgettable: Sarti, Burgnich, Facchetti, Bedin, Guarneri, Picchi, Jair, Mazzola, Milani (Domenghini), Suarez, and  Corso. The Great Inter side win three Serie A titles (in 1964, 1965 and 1966 the latter is the tenth Scudetto which allows the club to wear one gold star on their shirts), two European Cups (in 1964 against Real Madrid and 1965 against Benfica) and two Intercontinental Cups (in 1964 and 1965, both against Argentine outfit Independiente). In 1964, Suarez wins the European championship with the Spanish national team.

1968
Burgnich, Domenghini, Facchetti, Guarneri and Mazzola contribute to the Italian national team's success at the 1968 European championship in Rome. Three years later, the Nerazzurri win their eleventh Scudetto under the guidance of coach Gianni Invernizzi.

1982
After the twelfth Serie A title won in 1980, Altobelli, Bergomi, Bordon, Marini and Oriali win the World Cup with Italy in Madrid in 1982

1989
Inter win their thirteenth Scudetto in 1989, garnering a record 58 points from 34 matches (two points awarded for a win). A year later at Italia '90, Inter's German trio of Brehme, Klinsmann and Matthaeus win the World Cup in Rome. The same year, Lothar Matthaeus becomes the first Inter player to be awarded the prestigious European Player of the Year award.

1991
On 22 May 1991, exactly 26 years since their last international success, Inter defeat Roma 2-1 on aggregate in the UEFA Cup final. Matthaeus and Berti score for the Nerazzurri in the first leg at the Meazza. Inter defeat Salzburg in the final three years later to win their second UEFA Cup.

1998
Ronaldo is the first Inter player to win the FIFA World Player award and the second to win the coveted Ballon d'Or. Inter lose out on the Scudetto after a long duel with rivals Juventus, but beat Lazio 3-0 in Paris to lift their third UEFA Cup. Frenchman Djorkaeff beats Brazilian Ronaldo in another prestigious match played in Paris - the 1998 World Cup final.

2000
On 12 April, the world is struck by Ronaldo's injury during the Coppa Italia final against Lazio. The "Phenomenon" makes a return to the pitch and scores again in the 2001/02 season. In the meantime, Nerazzurri defender Laurent Blanc is part of the French side that beats Italy in the final of Euro 2000.

2001
The season concludes with Inter overtaking AC Milan to finish 5th in the Serie A championship. During the summer, a "Ronaldo Day" is held to celebrate the Phenomenon's return to competitive football. In November, one of Inter's most legendary players, the unforgettable full-back Giacinto Facchetti, becomes vice president of the club. Unfortunately, in December, Inter fan par excellence and vice president of the Beneamata Avv. Giuseppe Prisco passes away two days after his eightieth birthday.

2002
Inter go very close to winning their fourteenth Scudetto. Leaders going into the last match of the season and with a one-point advantage over Juventus, they lose 4-2 away to Lazio at Rome's Olimpico stadium. The Scudetto goes to Juventus, while Roma beat Inter into second place. Just as in 1967, the last match of the championship is fatal to the Nerazzurri.

2004
Hector Cuper guides Inter to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League and a historic two-legged 'Euroderby' with AC Milan. The Nerazzurri lose out on the away goals rule.

2005
Roberto Mancini's debut season as Inter coach ends with the club's first trophy in seven years - a 3-0 Coppa Italia final victory over Roma thanks to a brace from Adriano at the Olimpico and a Sinisa Mihajlovic free kick at the Giuseppe Meazza. The Nerazzurri, who finish third in the Serie A and reach the Champions League quarter-finals, lose just three matches in 2004/05

Gazda Intera Masimo Morati izjavio je da je razočaran porazom svog tima u derbiju sa juventusom.

Morati smatra da talenat nije ono što razlikuje ove dve ekipe.

"Igra nije bila toliko loša ali je nedostajala odlučnost", izjavio je Morati.

"Očekivao sam daleko više od svoje ekipe, ali oni jednostavno nisu bili na nivou Juventusa. Međutim, moj stav ne treba da utiče na moral tima. Igrali smo protiv velikog kluba i izgubili smo zbog dva veoma dobro izvedena slobodna udarca. Mi smo odigrali odlično drugo poluvreme i možda smo mogli do izjednačenja, ali moram da priznam da je Juve zasluženo pobedio", dodao je Morati.

MILAN - Inter midfielder Dejan Stankovic was forced off the pitch in the tenth minute of Serbia&Montenegro's World Cup qualifier against Lithuania after suffering a muscle-related injury in his right leg. The extent of Stankovic's injury will be assessed by the Nerazzurri medical staff after his return to Italy in the coming days. Serbia&Montenegro went on to win the match 2-0.

 MANCINI: "BACK ON TRACK"
Sunday, 16 October 2005 18:00:44 

[FOTO Sunday, 16 October 2005 18:00:44] MILAN - "It was an important victory for us today. It came after a week in which a lot of things were said, and in these cases you risk not paying attention to the important thing, which is always the match," said Roberto Mancini after Sunday afternoon's 5-0 win at home to Livorno.

"It was important to get back to winning after the defeat in Turin before the break. We are back on track. Against Juventus we lost a match in which our opponents were superior to us in their approach to the match for the first 20-25 minutes. Juventus didn't dominate us, they scored from two free kicks and did well to defend the lead. The important thing now is to keep pace with Juventus so we can take advantage of any false steps the Bianconeri might make."

On the performance of Santiago Solari, Mancini said: "He's fine now. He had a bad bout of bronchitis and it weakened him. But today he had the chance to play and he did well. The more he plays, the better chance he will have of finding his best condition."

Replying to a question about Adriano, the Nerazzurri coach said: "He arrived early this afternoon and went to train in Appiano, then he came to the stadium and we said hello in the changing room. We will have lots of time to talk together. He has to get back into top form as soon as possible. With him at one hundred percent we can aim for the Scudetto. Another reason I'm pleased about today is that the team showed it can play well and win even when important players are missing."

RECOBA: "I WANT WHAT INTER WANTS"
Sunday, 23 October 2005 18:20:48      

UDINE - "We got three important points today. We face a series of difficult matches and it was important to start off well," said a satisfied Alvaro Recoba after Sunday's victory at the Stadio Friuli. "Since I have been at Inter we have always found it hard-going in Udine, but this afternoon we played well and gave hardly nothing away. Perhaps we didn't take advantage of all our chances, but we have kept pace with Juventus and Milan, who didn't drop points today."

On Adriano's injury Recoba said: "He's feeling a bit of pain in his shoulder and he will have tests tomorrow. Let's hope it's nothing serious because both myself and Martins have had a few aches and pains. We all want to be at our best for this series of important matches ahead."

Asked about his contract which expires in June, El Chino added: "We still haven't spoken about it, but it's not a problem. I want what Inter wants."

Fudbaler milanskog Intera Argentinac Kristijan Kili Gonsales odsustvovaće sa terena do januara, saopštio je u ponedeljak italijanski klub.

Gonzales je pokidao primicač u prošlonedeljnom porazu reprezentacije Argentine od Urugvaja (0:1), u kvalifikacijama za Svetsko prvenstvo.

Argentinski fudbaler je u Inter došao u avgustu 2003. godine iz Valensije, a i prošle sezone imao je probleme sa povredama. On je zbog povrede kolena prošle sezone odigrao samo 14 utakmica u Seriji A.

Inter u svojim redovima već ima dvojicu povređenih igrača sredine terena – kapitena Havijera Zanetija i reprezentativca Srbije i Crne Gore Dejana Stankovića.
