But he must prove his worth on Tuesday or he will be out of Ballon d'Or race.

He'll be out anyway IMO. Liverpool won't lose it with the injuries that Inter have.

Plus, the Ballon d'Or this year will be for the Euro 2008 winner team. The key player.

The difference is that Ibrahimovic is having a stunning season, and Kaka' a shitty one.

That's a little sad to go and ruin something like that, in my opinion.

Sacchi: Inter Are Like The ‘Juve Of Moggi’

Former Milan and Italy Coach Arrigo Sacchi has slammed the refereeing from Inter’s match with Reggina on Saturday, describing the Nerazzurri as being like the “Juve of Moggi”.

This Serie A season has been littered with refereeing errors, many of them seeming to be benefiting Inter and penalising the likes of Juventus and Milan. 

Indeed last month the Gazzetta dello Sport printed a revised table of where all the Serie A teams would be if no mistakes had been made. 

Juve topped the table, having lost 12 points to rivals Inter due to errors. Since this report there was the controversial defeat to Reggina, which led the Bianconeri to write an open letter of complaint to the Italian Football Federation. 

At the weekend there was more controversy during Inter’s match with Reggina at San Siro. 

With the scores goalless, and Inter struggling, Esteban Cambiasso was fouled a few yards outside the box, only for the referee to award a penalty. 

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored the spot-kick, and Inter went on to win 2-0, causing a furious reaction from Reggina President Lillo Foti. 

"I never speak about the referees but on Saturday was old-style refereeing that I absolutely did not like,” said former Milan great Sacchi. 

“We seemed to see the Juve of Moggi. Sadly in our country the small teams always get punished in situations of doubt.” 

Luciano Moggi was the former general manager of Juventus, who was suspended from football for five years in 2006 for his alleged involvement in the Calciopoli crisis.

Highlights include:

*Moggi saying he knew Mancini was going to leave
*Rumors about Mancini going either to Barca, Chelsea, or Man City
*Rumors about Mancini not going anywhere at all
*Rumors that the situation with the Merda is so bad that the entire medical staff and a number of players wouldn't talk to Mancini even before last night
*Rumors that it's all a big ploy for attention
*Rumors that Mourinho will come and bring half of the Chelsea squad with him
*Rumor that Moratti is so furious he's going to fire Mancini immediately and Sinisa Mihailovic will be interim coach
*Rumor that Moratti will do anything to keep Mancini

He either did it to deflect attention away from the defeat, or maybe he wanted his face all over the front page of La Gazzetta

I think he aimed for both. But he truly took some weight off Inter's hands-down defeat! Anyway... I hope the whole issue of the defeat and Mancini's ridiculous declarations will create enough convulsion inside the Inter locker room to make them lose the championship race.

Lippi Will Replace Ranieri - Moggi



Former Juventus general manager Luciano Moggi claimed he already knows who will be the team's coach next season, and it isn't Claudio Ranieri...

Ahead of Juventus' delicate home match against Napoli tomorrow night, Luciano Moggi has decided to speak out and make some 'shocking' declarations again. According to the disgraced former general manager of the Bianconeri, the team's next coach will be World Cup winner Marcello Lippi, who has already been at the club in two separate, and very successful, stints before.

"I don't think [Claudio] Ranieri will still be Juve's coach next year," he said, "independently from where they end up in the table. His successor will be Marcello Lippi, but the management can't make the same requests they did with Ranieri and then change things along the road, everything would fall apart."

Moggi believes the Juve management asked Ranieri to reach the Uefa Cup at the start of the season, but later they decided that Champions League qualification was the minimum objective.

"I think the current management shows a lack of experience. [Jean-Claude] Blanc and [Giovanni] Cobolli Gigli both knew what the initial objective was, but when the results were better than they expected, they weren't happy, they started getting over excited, which is typical of people who don't know what they're doing," he blasted.

"After that they said the third place was the minimum target and that the Champions League objective could not be failed, and that led to a tense environment which was unnecessary, causing the team to get just one point in three matches."
