Laga Piala Super Italia antara Lazio kontra Inter digelar di Stadion Sarang Burung, Beijing, China, Sabtu (8/8/2009) malam WIB. Seperti diberitakan Goal, laga ini disaksikan langsung oleh 70 ribu pasang mata.

Peluang pertama didapatkan Inter ketika laga berlangsung setengah jam. Namun kans yang didapat Sulley Muntari gagal membuahkan hasil usai tendangannya melenceng dari sasaran.

Tujuh menit berselang, kiper Lazio Fernando Muslera menyelamatkan gawangnya dari sundulan Lucio yang menyambut bola sepak pojok Esteban Cambiasso..

Kedua tim mengakhiri babak pertama dengan kedudukan sama kuat 0-0.

Lazio membuka skor di menit ke-66 lewat Francelino Matuzalem. Bola sepakan Matuzalem sempat diblok kiper Inter Julio Cesar. Namun pantulannya mengenai kepala Matuzalem dan si kulit bundar pun meluncur masuk ke agwang Inter.

Tiga menit berselang, Biancoceleste menambah keunggulan kali ini lewat Tomamaso Rocchi. Bola chip yang dilepaskan pemain berusia 31 tahun itu gagal dibendung Julio Cesar.

Inter membalas di menit ke-78 lewat Samuel Eto'o. Gol ini berawal dari kegagalan Ousmane Dabo mempertahankan bola. Si kulit bundar kemudian direbut Mario Balotelli yang selanjutnya menyodorkan bola ke arah Eto'o.

Empat menit menjelang bubaran, Inter kembali merobek gawang Lazio. Namun kali ini gol yang didonasikan oleh Diego Milito itu dianulir akibat wasit menilai telah terjadi offside.

Huntelaar to Milan!!

A.C. Milan communicate they have reached an agreement with Real Madrid for the purchase of striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. The Dutch footballer will be subjected to the medical checks tomorrow, after which he will sign a contract which will keep him at the Rossoneri club until 30 June 2013.

Klaas Jan Huntelaar:

"I'm very happy, everything's good, I will be in Milan shortly. I'm a striker who likes to play for the team, I try to help the team score, I like to play in the center of the attack, I've always scored a lot playing like that. Filippo Inzaghi? I know him, he's a great player, his history with Milan is very important. For the rest Milan have many players who have been playing at the club for a long time and that's why it's a group that can be compared with family. Certainly, no two players are the same and I'm not the same as Inzaghi. It's right that every athlete has his own characteristics."

"I am calm - Huntelaar continued - also after yesterday's words from president Berlusconi, I'm very happy to be here, I know the football and the trainings in Italy are different to Spain, but I'm ready, I want to both start training and start the new adventure itself. My favorite Milan player? In general I especially admire offensive players and Milan have many, and they're all quality. Andrea Pirlo? I'm happy he stayed. I saw him play at Euro 2008 and I understood how important he is for the teams he plays in. A dear greeting to all Milan's fans. I am very happy."

Then, in front of the many cameras and microphones present at the Malpensa airport, Huntelaar added: "I've just arrived and I don't know my program yet. Milan the club and Milan the city are special for us Dutchmen, I know Van Basten very well, he coached me at Ajax as well as the national team. Milan need to have a great season."

22 for boriello !!

Boriello :
It's a number that's very present in my life (for example, it's the day of my mother's birthday) and it's the one I had at Genoa, in the season when I did really well. Also, I had to change the number 11, since it didn't bring me much luck last year... Is the number 22 a heavy inheritance? I don't think it makes sense to make comparisons, Kaká is unreachable, and we play in two different roles. For me it's just a number that I like, without other significance.

I also expect a lot from ronaldinho and hope he can repeat his great first part of last season. I think that, with Kaká's departure, he may be more free mentally, and I'm sure this year we will find ourselves with a great Ronaldinho who will help us make a jump in quality.

On the new 4-3-3 system : It's the same I played in at Genoa. There I was a central striker, and I think I did it pretty well. I am very comfortable in that position, I hope I can do the same here at Milan.
