Calciopoli. All true!

There are actually imaginary, hung on parallel wires, so perfectly constructed that they can not distinguish and disentangle them from what is imagined. There are patients and scrupulous manufacturers of these suggestions have made their skilled craft. Tonight this fantasy world in which a large part of people lived for some time now, almost like damn real, it's ruined noisily to the ground. Moggi, Bergamo, Mazzini were convicted of conspiracy, Pairetto, De Santis, Della Valle, Lotito for sporting fraud. More serious than any sporting decision. A sentence that renames them as criminals. Mafia. Did not expect. No, really. In recent years, had transcribed tapes kilometers in search of the real culprits. They are merely doing what everyone did. And it is a sin, this? And every day the threat came the phone call that would finally bring the truth about this sad earth. Yeah.

Moratti Calls Bielsa

2011-06-14T00:17:00.000-07:00

NERAZZURRI PLANS

Over the weekend, the president called the coach that coached Zanetti and Samuel and now with Chile, Sanchez.
He has asked the availability to guide Inter (this or next year?). In that case, Leo would be open to become a director in the future.

INTER, THERE IS A CALL FOR BIELSA

Surprise: Moratti called the Argentinian coach. Is he for post-Leo?
The president has contacted the coach of Chile who has seen the growth of Sanchez and coached Zanetti and Samuel.

That phone call was a secret, but secrets do not last long in football. As well as many other coaches. So from Argentina, the news regarding that has started bouncing around about a coach, or rather two. Because over the weekend, Massimo Moratti called Marcelo Bielsa, the coach of Chile in the last World Cup, to ask him about the availability to coach Inter in place of Leonardo. His name, initially, surfaced before the sacking of Benitez. Now Bielsa must respond to Moratti on whether he can coach now or in the future. The Inter president has personally called the Argentinian coach, who was at his home in Rosario, but this is not enough to to be certain that Bielsa will arrive at Inter and Leonardo will leave. Pending provided contradictions because in football, not only for Inter, that everything is denied before the conclusion of any negotiation. We can stop at one certain fact about a phone call between Moratti and Bielsa, although his name was linked to Inter at one point when all the directors of Inter denied the possible sacking of Benitez.

Surprise So Moratti has previously thought about Bielsa before tacking on a surprise of Leonardo who could change the role once again, because his relationship with Moratti, unlike Benitez, is excellent and he is willingly to go back to his director role. Never as in this case, therefore, the condition is a must for two reasons: first because it is unpredictable on whether or not Moratti's call may have been only for exploratory purposes, and because Bielsa has refused a coaching job on the bench of Seville, Real Sociedad, Roma and the United States national team. The only certainty at this point is timing, because while it is true that the players are on vacation, Leonardo has the right, as well as the duty, to participate in the construction of a new Inter, so the decision to focus on Bielsa, or go on with him can not be postponed for too long.

Temptations There are reasons why Bielsa, whose nickname is "Loco" which is Pazza (Crazy) could be the right man for Pazza Inter. And here we enter the garden of the possible (and plausible) temptations of Moratti. Having followed his Argentina in the 2002 World Cup, we can say that, despite the early elimination, Bielsa built a spectacular national team, we saw the same thing a year ago in South Africa where he presented a surprisingly good Chile side with Alexis Sanchez. But even before that, as club manager, he was very successful in Argentina by winning two championships with Newell's Old Boys and one with Velez Sarsfield. The one single, small, perplexity because he never experiences in Europe, as he left Espanyol pretty much immediately to lead his own country. A manic worker, Bielsa knows how to win over his players just like Mourinho. And we cannot really rule out that captain Zanetti has spoken well of him because under Bielsa he played as a midfielder alongside with former Juventus player Simeon Sorin. But also Samuel, who under Bielsa was the linchpin in the defense of three, has great estimation as well as other Argentinians at Inter. There are many clues but they are not proving anything. Because a phone call just cannot remove Leonardo from the bench even if it is sufficient for this to please Bielsa.

Pozzo: "There Are No Valid Requests For Sanchez"

2011-06-13T17:36:00.000-07:00

Giampaolo Pazzo, patron of Udinese, is still playing the cards indicating that he has not received concrete offers for Alexis Sanchez. "There are no requests for Sanchez, I intend to speak of valid requests. Sanchez is a very important player," said Pozzo, who did not deny that he would like to see the Chilean still with the shirt of the Udinese. "I have spoken to Alexis and his agent. I believe that eventually they will realize that I just can not sell Sanchez. We haven't received any offer for him and this is the truth. And preferably that Sanchez is staying with us and he would be very happy."

After saying that he still has not received any attractive offers for Sanchez, Udinese patron Giampaolo Pozzo has thrown a bait for the Inter management to catch. After the unbalanced evaluation of Sanchez ("35 million won't be enough") and also some kind of prediction ("I would say that City are the favorite"), the patron of Udinese is calling Inter:

"With the Nerazzurri there have only been talks, we haven't been speaking in definitive form. But things can be made at the last moment: president Moratti has said to sit down at a table even though we are not interested in the players included."

Inter Milan crush AC Milan, forget dull season start - Summary

2009-09-08T07:44:00.000-07:00

Milan - Inter Milan made clear their intention to retain the Serie A title, drubbing AC Milan 4-0 Saturday in a city derby that the Devils played for the most part with 10 men. Brazilian Thiago Motta and Argentine Diego Milito, two arrivals from Genoa, had already put Inter up two goals when Gennaro Gattuso was sent off with a second yellow card.

A third goal sank the Devils' hopes before the break as Brazil defender Douglas Maicon beat Marco Storari off a Milito assist.
The win was secured in a matter of 15 minutes through an impressive display of offensive power that made Inter fans forget the embarrassing 1-1 home draw against promoted Bari that they had to watch a week earlier.

Milan had produced a good pressing in the first 20 minutes, threatening with a spurt from Frenchman Mathieu Flamini, while Brazilian Ronaldinho misfired off a precious feed from his fast compatriot Pato.
A further threat forced Inter's Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar to slap a dangerous cross to prevent Marco Borriello's close-range flick, but Inter gradually improved their game and secured the outcome before the break.

Motta opened the scoring on 29 minutes, stunning Storari with a classy volley off a piercing assist from Milito, who on 36 minutes converted a spot kick after Gattuso floored Samuel Eto'o as he headed for the goal off a long Maicon feed.
Inter's win was virtually secured 10 minutes later with the dismissal of Gattuso, who received a second yellow card for downing Dutch newcomer Wesley Sneijder.

With Milan on the ropes, Brazil defender Lucio had a tight-angle shot blocked by Storari before Maicon's third goal off yet another great assist from Milito.
There was little thrill in a second half that saw Inter control the game and beef up their tally through a smashing long-range shot drilled by Serb Dejan Stankovic in the top right corner.

Earlier Saturday, promoted Bari drew 0-0 at home to Bologna, a week after the far more prestigious draw they snatched at Inter in the season opener.
Another classic game is set between Roma and Juventus, one of eight games scheduled for Sunday.

Champions Inter held by newboys Bari as Juve win

2009-09-08T07:26:00.000-07:00

Defending champions Inter Milan were held to a surprise 1-1 draw at home to promoted Bari at the San Siro on Sunday in their first match of the new Serie A season

Defending champions Inter Milan were held to a surprise 1-1 draw at home to promoted Bari at the San Siro on Sunday in their first match of the new Serie A season.

But rivals Juventus got off to a winning start as Vincenzo Iaquinta scored the only goal in a 1-0 home success against Chievo.

Cameroon forward Samuel Eto'o scored his first goal for Inter since joining from Barcelona in a swap deal that saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic head to Spain, but Vitaly Kutuzov's equaliser earned the plucky Serie A newboys a deserved share of the spoils.

Inter coach Jose Mourinho picked new signings Eto'o and Diego Milito up front together but they could not fire the champions to victory.

"We have the quality to do well, we played a great game but we didn't have the luck needed to score a second goal and make the game safe," moaned the Portuguese boss.

"Unfortunately, we lack a bit of fluidity, we haven't had long to work together.

"We're not a team that makes excuses and I don't want to justify the loss of two points but it's a fact that we've changed a lot and we're lacking fluidity."

Inter were creating little in the early stages and survived a scare at the other end when France captain Patrick Vieira's clumsy challenge brought down Riccardo Allegretti right on the edge of the box.

Allegretti curled the free-kick over the wall but Julio Cesar was quickly across his line to make the save.

Vieira then played a sublime ball over the top of the defence for Milito, who couldn't keep his volley down.

Mourinho was clearly unhappy with what he saw and switched things around before the half hour was even up, bringing on Mario Balotelli for Sulley Muntari and changing the formation to 4-3-3 from a 4-4-2 with a midfield diamond.

However, the coach then revealed that the switch was probably more due to Ramadan than tactical.

"Muntari had some problems related to Ramadan, perhaps with this heat it's not good for him to be doing this (fasting)," said Mourinho about Sulley's substitution.

Ghanaian Sulley is Muslim and during Ramadan, Muslims are expected to fast -- abstaining from food and drink -- during daylight hours.

"Ramadan has not arrived at the ideal moment for a player to play a football match," said Mourinho.

Another new signing Thiago Motta shot inches wide from just outside the area but Inter centre-backs Lucio and Marco Materazzi got in each other's way to allow Kutuzov a run clean through on goal, only for the Belarus international to tread on the ball and lose momentum.

Mourinho changed things again at the break, bringing winger Ricardo Quaresma on for his defensive midfielder Vieira and reverting to a 4-4-2 with wide men.

The move was soon to pay dividends, although in controversial fashion as Milito slumped to the ground in the box from what seemed to be minimal contact.

The referee pointed to the penalty spot and Eto'o easily opened his account in Italian football.

He should have had a second on 67 minutes when Milito teed him up inside the box but with only goalkeeper Jean-Francois Gillet to beat the former Barcelona man dragged his shot hopelessly wide.

They were made to pay for that on 74 minutes following a defensive blunder from Lucio, who charged out of position to try to make an interception, only to leave a gaping hole for Kutuzov to shoot past Cesar.

It should have been worse for the champions as substitute Emmauel Rivas fired over the bar deep into stoppage time with only Cesar to beat.

In Turin, Iaquinta gave Juve an 11th minute lead when he rose highest to brilliantly head home a free-kick from debutant Diego.

Iaquinta almost scored a second with a close range header from an Amauri cross but Stefano Sorrentino made an instinctive save with his legs.

Amauri came closest in the second half to adding a second but his shot came back off the post.

In other games Parma were denied a winning return to Serie A as an Antonio Di Natale brace earned Udinese a 2-2 draw.

Giuseppe Biava scored seven minutes from time to give Genoa a 3-2 victory over AS Roma.

On Saturday, AC Milan won 2-1 at Siena thanks to a brace from Brazilian Pato.

OFFICIAL: Inter Announce Wesley Sneijder Capture

2009-09-08T07:10:00.000-07:00

"Finally I am here"

APPIANO GENTILE - Accompanied by José Mourinho, technical director Marco Branca and transfer market consultant Gabriele Oriali, Inter's latest signing Wesley Sneijder was unveiled to the Italian media in today's press conference at the training ground.

This is what the 25-year-old Dutch midfielder, who underwent his first training session with fitness coach Rui Faria this morning before making his way to the press room, had to say:

We know that the operation for your signing has been quite a contest. Are you happy to join Inter?
"Well first of all thank you. I think Inter is an amazing club, one of the biggest clubs in the world, so I'm very happy to be a player of Inter. It has been long, but finally I am here."

How much do you like pressure. You're not here to be an ordinary player.
"Well, to talk about pressure... I've been a player of Real Madrid and there was pressure there too. I can handle the pressure. I want to play games now and prove myself to all the people here."

What is your opinion of Mourinho?
"Of course he's one of the biggest coaches in the world. I saw him in Chelsea and here at Inter as well, I'm very happy to be a player of Inter and a player of Mourinho and I want to prove myself even more."

Your shirt is the number 10. What is your favourite role?
"I think I'm an attacking midfielder, so playing behind the strikers, yes, it's my position. The shirt number? If I start playing in this position it will be perfect."

The last Dutch number 10 at Inter was Bergkamp. Did you talk to him? Did you know that his adventure here was full of ups and downs? Are you ready for the derby?
"Actually I didn't speak to Dennis Bergkamp before but I think he's an example for every young player. He's an amazing player with lots of qualities. I hope I can do the same as what he did here during the good times. My shirt number isn't important. I just want to help the team. The derby? Yes, I would obviously like to play the derby. Everyone wants to play the big games. Will I play? I can't say anything about this game. We will see tomorrow."

Could you please explain to us why the negotiations were a bit slow?
"Yes, I know but I think that life at Real Madrid was perfect. My situation changed a lot in the last week. You have to talk about your future, think about your future. If you sign a four or five-year deal you have to be one hundred percent sure. Last week I was one hundred percent sure and the deal went through."

What do you know about the Italian championship and Inter?
"Like I said before, Inter is one of the biggest teams in the world and for sure in Italy. There were some Dutch players before in this club and some big players before. We have a great team in this moment so I think I will have a great time here. I had one guy in Ajax before, the team manager, his name was David Endt and he said 'one day you will play for Inter'. Yesterday he called me and said 'finally you have joined my club'."

When you arrived you said you had already spoken to Mourinho. What did he say to convince you to join Inter?
"It's important when you make decisions that the coach is 100% behind you and I can say that Mourinho is 100% behind me so this was a very big part of my decision."

Did you choose the number 10 shirt or did Mourinho give it to you?
"It was given to me. I don't know if it was the coach, but I suppose so."

How much did the 2010 World Cup influence your decision to join Inter? Were you given any advice or pressure from the Dutch national team coach?
"Actually I was thinking about my future and to sign a new contract for a new team for a long long time, not just for one tournament. I wasn't thinking about the World Cup, I wanted to be sure about my future. If I stayed at Real Madrid and didn't play that would have been another thing, but now I'm at Inter and I have to play my game. The World Cup wasn't the biggest point that influenced my decision."

Would you have preferred Real Madrid to Barcelona in the first Champions League game?
"No. I don't mind. It's nice to play against a Spanish team and to play against Barcelona will be amazing. I'm happy to play against Barcelona."

Lucio, Lucio, Wherefore Art Thou Lucio?

2009-08-18T01:17:00.000-07:00

This week we welcome a new member of the Inter family, Lucimar Ferreira da Silva. That’s him down there.

Lucio is currently the captain and starting centerback of the Brazilian National Team. He was formerly the starting Center Back for Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Monaco (Otherwise known as Bayern Munchen or Bayern Munich for those who missed this gem of an exchange: “As for Lo Monaco I do not know who he is. With the name Monaco I have heard of Bayern Monaco and the Monaco GP, the Tibetan Monaco, and the Principality of Monaco. I have never heard of any others.”)

Lucio has decided to throw his lot with us for the low, low price of 5 million Euros.

Lucio had been a starter on Bayer Leverkusen from 2001, when he was 23 years old, until 2004. Highlights of his stay in Leverkusen include scoring in the Champions League Finals versus Galaticos 1.0. He played over 90 games and scored 15 goals in the Bundesliga. He added 22 more games and 3 more goals in Europe.

In 2004, when he was 26, he joined Bayern Monaco. In his 5 years with Monaco he played 144 games in the Bundesliga and scored 7 times. He added 45 more games in Europe and scored 4 more times for Monaco. He was recently named Vice-Captain.

He played every minute of every game Brazil played in the 2002 World Cup. In 2006, as most of you know Brazil lost to France in a 1-0 quarter final game.

His trophy cabinet is pretty full as well. He has a World Cup, 3 Bundesliga Championships a brace of Confederations Cups, 3 DFB Cups and 3 DFB Supercups.

Okay, now that we have his CV down, I think we can say that he’s certainly qualified. To reiterate the question in the title, what is his purpose?

His purpose is not to play “hard man” Walter Samuel defense, although he can certainly do that if he needs to. If that were the only reason to go after him, then we could have gotten lots of guys to do that. The reason we went after Lucio is because he can carry the ball forward and play in between the “bands” as Mourinho puts it.

If one were to draw up the traditional line up of a football team on paper, you would have a defensive line, a midfield line and a forward line. Mourinho’s ideas center on playing and pressuring the ball in between the traditional positions or “bands”. For example, everybody on earth can tell you that Mourinoho favors a 4-3-3. But he doesn’t really. He really favors playing different formations based on whether his team has the ball or not. For example, on attack the 4-3-3 could become the 2-1-3-4 or the 4-3-2-1 on defense.

And Lucio really plays in between the defensive “bands” and the midfield “bands” in kind of the same way that Mario really plays in between the midfield and the forwards. He plays a little higher up on defense – perfect for collecting those through balls and lobs to attacking players making runs in those spaces that exist in traditional formations. He can also bring the ball forward a bit. So, theoretically, the attacking play for our team starts further up the pitch and hopefully negates a lot of our forwards having to come back too far to get the ball.

Is Lucio perfect? No, by the very nature of his position he often has to confront attacking players who are attacking in space. We all should know by now that attacking players like space to work in and defensive players try like hell to limit the space of attacking players. So, since he’s working in space he’s going to get burned sometimes. That’s the nature of playing a high line – ask Juventus last season. The idea is that there is going to be cover, but nothing is perfect. The gamble is that he’ll clean up those troublesome through balls – more than let through and hurt us, anyway – and then launch the counter attack.

So, in practical terms, whose spot does he take? He should be in a rotation with Samuel, Chivu and Cordoba. He’s a better Center Back than Burdisso and probably more mobile than Materazzi – who he shares a lot of characteristics with, in my opinion. He also has a nice mean streak when his tail is up and he can be pretty ruthless when the occasion calls for it.

So welcome Lucio, I hope that he can form good partnerships with the other defensemen and hasten the departure of Rivas and Burdisso.

Eto'o-Inter: it's official!

2009-08-18T01:02:00.000-07:00

The Cameroon striker has signed with the Nerazzurri until 2014. He will be officially introduced tomorrow: "I am here to win everything. I have made history at Barcelona, but that history is finished now. A new story begins at Inter. I promise to work as hard as I have always done. That's how goals are made"

MILAN, 27 July 2009 - Samuel Eto'o is now an Inter player, as of 8:37 PM, when the striker signed a 5-year deal with Inter (until 2014), in the presence of Inter director Marco Branca, market consultant Gabriele Oriali, attorney Angelo Cappellini and the player's agents José Mesalles and Claudio Vigorelli. The official presentation of the former Barcelona centre-forward to the media will take place tomorrow at 2:30 PM in Appiano Gentile.

THE ARRIVAL Eto'o arrived in Milan at 8:35 this morning. Soon thereafter, he got his first taste of a crowd, even if this time around there were "only" reporters, photographers and people doing their work. His first comment was for Moratti: "He is a great man." Then, he addressed his new "colleagues": "Congratulations to my team-mates for winning already the first derby."

OFF THE PLANE Ready to welcome the player upon his arrival at Linate were attorney José María Mesalles and Inter's communications director Paolo Viganò, who flew back from the United States for this event. "I am very happy to be at Inter. I am here to work and win the Champions League title," added the Cameroon international who spent his first day in Milan undergoing medical examinations, first in Milan and then in Pavia.

MAKING HISTORY After undergoing medical examinations in the morning at the CONI's sports medicine institute, Eto'o travelled to Pavia and talked about his goals: "I have made history at Barcelona, but that history is finished now. A new story begins at Inter, I'm starting from scratch. I would like a new adventure and I hope everything goes well. I can't but wish Ibrahimovic good luck. I won many things at Barcelona and now I hope to do the same with these colours, if not more. I thank President Moratti who has been instrumental in brining me to Inter. I hope to repay him with my work on the pitch. Now it's important to regain my physical form and join the team to work together."

WORK ETHIC "I promise the fans that I will work everyday as I have always done," he explained. "This is at the base of everything, working with results in mind. I believe in work and in the group and I don't need to say that what I want to do is to score even more goals. I know I'm capable of scoring goals and that through my work I will be able to score even more." Then, a comment about the Champions League: "I know that Inter really want to win the Champions League but we cannot only think about that trophy," he added, "because if we are too focused on the Champions League, the other goals will become secondary and we may be at risk of elimination from European competitions. We need to take it one match at a time and consider each match as a final."

OFFICIAL: Marko Arnautovic Completes Transfer To Inter

2009-08-18T00:56:00.000-07:00

The 20-year-old has completed a one-year loan deal to the Nerazzurri, who have an option to buy him after the loan expires...

The move has been announced on FC Twente's official website, which reports that the Dutch club have successfully completed negotiations with Inter for the transfer of Marko Arnautovic.

The 20-year-old will arrive at San Siro on a one-year loan with the Nerazzurri given an option to buy the Austrian after he has made 10 appearances for the Italian club. The price for a permanent transfer is reported to be around €9m.

Should Inter not make the move permanent for one reason or another, Arnautovic will return to Twente where he will remain under contract for two further seasons, with an option of a one-year extension.

The move was set to be officially announced some time back, but Inter then re-negotiated the deal in light of a stress fracture to Arnautovic's right foot.

Despite the injury, Arnautovic established himself as a quality striker in Holland's Eredivisie last season as he scored 12 goals in 28 games. Since making his debut for Twente on 14 April 2007, he has scored 14 goals in 58 games.

Inter had been criticised from some quarters for a lack of options up front, but now have three new strikers in Arnautovic, Samuel Eto'o and Diego Milito. In addition, Jose Mourinho can call on David Suazo and Mario Balotelli to play in attack, and the coach can now put all of his efforts into signing the elusive trequartista.

Official: Thiago Motta Signs Four-Year Deal With Inter

2009-08-18T00:52:00.000-07:00

The former Barcelona player has completed his move to the Nerazzurri...

Inter have announced that Genoa midfielder Thiago Motta has joined the club on a permanent transfer, signing a four-year contract at the San Siro. The move has been touted for over a month, but was not officially confirmed until July 1.

"FC Internazionale are pleased to announce that Thiago Motta has joined the club on a four-year deal from Genoa," began a statement on the club's official website, inter.it.

"The Brazilian midfielder, born in Sao Bernardo do Campo on August 28, 1982, has put pen to paper on a contract which will run until June 30, 2013. The documents relating to the transfer have been registered at the Italian Football League's offices."

The fee of the transfer was undisclosed, but the Nerazzurri did reveal a number of youngsters would be moving in the opposite direction.

"As part of the deal, Francesco Bolzoni, Leonardo Bonucci and Riccardo Meggiorini joins Genoa on a permanent basis."

The midfielder had a renaissance season with the Grifoni after suffering from a number of injury problems during the past few years of his career.

The Nerazzurri had already confirmed the signing of Motta's team-mate Diego Milito on Tuesday. Overall, the deal is reportedly worth over €30 million with the players moving to

OFFICIAL: Diego Milito Joins Inter From Genoa

2009-08-18T00:47:00.000-07:00

The Argentine has signed a four-year deal with the club...

Striker Diego Milito has finally made his move from Genoa to Inter, as confirmed by the Italian champions' official website.

The deal had been agreed for some time, but was formalised on Monday evening. The Argentine now has a contract at the San Siro until June 2013 and is a welcome addition to the Nerazzurri strike force.

Meanwhile, youngster Robert Acquafresca moves in the opposite direction on a permanent transfer after spending this past season on-loan at Cagliari. The player recently scored three goals at the Under-21 championships in Sweden, but may not be staying with the Grifoni.

The striker wants to be an automatic first choice upfront and is close to securing a likely temporary move to Atalanta.

The 30-year-old Milito was one of the stars of the Rossoblu's successful season as they finished in fifth place, scoring 24 times in Serie A. He finished one goal behind top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who he will be teaming up with in 2009-10.

Genoa's Brazilian midfielder Thiago Motta is also close to confirming his transfer to Inter. The entire deal for the South American duo is reportedly worth more than €30
million.

RS OMNI DAPATKAN PASIEN DARI HASIL LAB FIKTIF

Prita Mulyasari - suaraPembaca

Jangan sampai kejadian saya ini menimpa ke nyawa manusia lainnya. Terutama anak-anak, lansia, dan bayi. Bila anda berobat berhati-hatilah dengan kemewahan rumah sakit (RS) dan title international karena semakin mewah RS dan semakin pintar dokter maka semakin sering uji coba pasien, penjualan obat, dan suntikan.

Saya tidak mengatakan semua RS international seperti ini tapi saya mengalami kejadian ini di RS Omni International. Tepatnya tanggal 7 Agustus 2008 jam 20.30 WIB. Saya dengan kondisi panas tinggi dan pusing kepala datang ke RS OMNI Internasional dengan percaya bahwa RS tersebut berstandar International, yang tentunya pasti mempunyai ahli kedokteran dan manajemen yang bagus.

Saya diminta ke UGD dan mulai diperiksa suhu badan saya dan hasilnya 39 derajat. Setelah itu dilakukan pemeriksaan darah dan hasilnya adalah trombosit saya 27.000 dengan kondisi normalnya adalah 200.000. Saya diinformasikan dan ditangani oleh dr I (umum) dan dinyatakan saya wajib rawat inap. dr I melakukan pemeriksaan lab ulang dengan sample darah saya yang sama dan hasilnya dinyatakan masih sama yaitu thrombosit 27.000.

dr I menanyakan dokter specialist mana yang akan saya gunakan. Tapi, saya meminta referensi darinya karena saya sama sekali buta dengan RS ini. Lalu referensi dr I adalah dr H. dr H memeriksa kondisi saya dan saya menanyakan saya sakit apa dan dijelaskan bahwa ini sudah positif demam berdarah.

Mulai malam itu saya diinfus dan diberi suntikan tanpa penjelasan atau izin pasien atau keluarga pasien suntikan tersebut untuk apa. Keesokan pagi, dr H visit saya dan menginformasikan bahwa ada revisi hasil lab semalam. Bukan 27.000 tapi 181.000 (hasil lab bisa dilakukan revisi?). Saya kaget tapi dr H terus memberikan instruksi ke suster perawat supaya diberikan berbagai macam suntikan yang saya tidak tahu dan tanpa izin pasien atau keluarga pasien.

Saya tanya kembali jadi saya sakit apa sebenarnya dan tetap masih sama dengan jawaban semalam bahwa saya kena demam berdarah. Saya sangat khawatir karena di rumah saya memiliki 2 anak yang masih batita. Jadi saya lebih memilih berpikir positif tentang RS dan dokter ini supaya saya cepat sembuh dan saya percaya saya ditangani oleh dokter profesional standard Internatonal.

Mulai Jumat terebut saya diberikan berbagai macam suntikan yang setiap suntik tidak ada keterangan apa pun dari suster perawat, dan setiap saya meminta keterangan tidak mendapatkan jawaban yang memuaskan. Lebih terkesan suster hanya menjalankan perintah dokter dan pasien harus menerimanya. Satu boks lemari pasien penuh dengan infus dan suntikan disertai banyak ampul.

Tangan kiri saya mulai membengkak. Saya minta dihentikan infus dan suntikan dan minta ketemu dengan dr H. Namun, dokter tidak datang sampai saya dipindahkan ke ruangan. Lama kelamaan suhu badan saya makin naik kembali ke 39 derajat dan datang dokter pengganti yang saya juga tidak tahu dokter apa. Setelah dicek dokter tersebut hanya mengatakan akan menunggu dr H saja.

Esoknya dr H datang sore hari dengan hanya menjelaskan ke suster untuk memberikan obat berupa suntikan lagi. Saya tanyakan ke dokter tersebut saya sakit apa sebenarnya dan dijelaskan saya kena virus udara. Saya tanyakan berarti bukan kena demam berdarah. Tapi, dr H tetap menjelaskan bahwa demam berdarah tetap virus udara. Saya dipasangkan kembali infus sebelah kanan dan kembali diberikan suntikan yang sakit sekali.

Malamnya saya diberikan suntikan 2 ampul sekaligus dan saya terserang sesak napas selama 15 menit dan diberikan oxygen. Dokter jaga datang namun hanya berkata menunggu dr H saja.

Jadi malam itu saya masih dalam kondisi infus. Padahal tangan kanan saya pun mengalami pembengkakan seperti tangan kiri saya. Saya minta dengan paksa untuk diberhentikan infusnya dan menolak dilakukan suntikan dan obat-obatan.

Esoknya saya dan keluarga menuntut dr H untuk ketemu dengan kami. Namun, janji selalu diulur-ulur dan baru datang malam hari. Suami dan kakak-kakak saya menuntut penjelasan dr H mengenai sakit saya, suntikan, hasil lab awal yang 27.000 menjadi revisi 181.000 dan serangan sesak napas yang dalam riwayat hidup saya belum pernah terjadi. Kondisi saya makin parah dengan membengkaknya leher kiri dan mata kiri.

dr H tidak memberikan penjelasan dengan memuaskan. Dokter tersebut malah mulai memberikan instruksi ke suster untuk diberikan obat-obatan kembali dan menyuruh tidak digunakan infus kembali. Kami berdebat mengenai kondisi saya dan meminta dr H bertanggung jawab mengenai ini dari hasil lab yang pertama yang seharusnya saya bisa rawat jalan saja. dr H menyalahkan bagian lab dan tidak bisa memberikan keterangan yang memuaskan.

Keesokannya kondisi saya makin parah dengan leher kanan saya juga mulai membengkak dan panas kembali menjadi 39 derajat. Namun, saya tetap tidak mau dirawat di RS ini lagi dan mau pindah ke RS lain. Tapi, saya membutuhkan data medis yang lengkap dan lagi-lagi saya dipermainkan dengan diberikan data medis yang fiktif.

Dalam catatan medis diberikan keterangan bahwa bab (buang air besar) saya lancar padahal itu kesulitan saya semenjak dirawat di RS ini tapi tidak ada follow up-nya sama sekali. Lalu hasil lab yang diberikan adalah hasil thrombosit saya yang 181.000 bukan 27.000.

Saya ngotot untuk diberikan data medis hasil lab 27.000 namun sangat dikagetkan bahwa hasil lab 27.000 tersebut tidak dicetak dan yang tercetak adalah 181.000. Kepala lab saat itu adalah dr M dan setelah saya komplain dan marah-marah dokter tersebut mengatakan bahwa catatan hasil lab 27.000 tersebut ada di Manajemen Omni. Maka saya desak untuk bertemu langsung dengan Manajemen yang memegang hasil lab tersebut.

Saya mengajukan komplain tertulis ke Manajemen Omni dan diterima oleh Og(Customer Service Coordinator) dan saya minta tanda terima. Dalam tanda terima tersebut hanya ditulis saran bukan komplain. Saya benar-benar dipermainkan oleh Manajemen Omni dengan staff Og yang tidak ada service-nya sama sekali ke customer melainkan seperti mencemooh tindakan saya meminta tanda terima pengajuan komplain tertulis.

Dalam kondisi sakit saya dan suami saya ketemu dengan manajemen. Atas nama Og (Customer Service Coordinator) dan dr G (Customer Service Manager) dan diminta memberikan keterangan kembali mengenai kejadian yang terjadi dengan saya.

Saya benar-benar habis kesabaran dan saya hanya meminta surat pernyataan dari lab RS ini mengenai hasil lab awal saya adalah 27.000 bukan 181.000. Makanya saya diwajibkan masuk ke RS ini padahal dengan kondisi thrombosit 181.000 saya masih bisa rawat jalan.

Tanggapan dr G yang katanya adalah penanggung jawab masalah komplain saya ini tidak profesional sama sekali. Tidak menanggapi komplain dengan baik. Dia mengelak bahwa lab telah memberikan hasil lab 27.000 sesuai dr M informasikan ke saya. Saya minta duduk bareng antara lab, Manajemen, dan dr H. Namun, tidak bisa dilakukan dengan alasan akan dirundingkan ke atas (Manajemen) dan berjanji akan memberikan surat tersebut jam 4 sore.

Setelah itu saya ke RS lain dan masuk ke perawatan dalam kondisi saya dimasukkan dalam ruangan isolasi karena virus saya ini menular. Menurut analisa ini adalah sakitnya anak-anak yaitu sakit gondongan namun sudah parah karena sudah membengkak. Kalau kena orang dewasa laki-laki bisa terjadi impoten dan perempuan ke pankreas dan kista.

Saya lemas mendengarnya dan benar-benar marah dengan RS Omni yang telah membohongi saya dengan analisa sakit demam berdarah dan sudah diberikan suntikan macam-macam dengan dosis tinggi sehingga mengalami sesak napas. Saya tanyakan mengenai suntikan tersebut ke RS yang baru ini dan memang saya tidak kuat dengan suntikan dosis tinggi sehingga terjadi sesak napas.

Suami saya datang kembali ke RS Omni menagih surat hasil lab 27.000 tersebut namun malah dihadapkan ke perundingan yang tidak jelas dan meminta diberikan waktu besok pagi datang langsung ke rumah saya. Keesokan paginya saya tunggu kabar orang rumah sampai jam 12 siang belum ada orang yang datang dari Omni memberikan surat tersebut.

Saya telepon dr G sebagai penanggung jawab kompain dan diberikan keterangan bahwa kurirnya baru mau jalan ke rumah saya. Namun, sampai jam 4 sore saya tunggu dan ternyata belum ada juga yang datang ke rumah saya. Kembali saya telepon dr G dan dia mengatakan bahwa sudah dikirim dan ada tanda terima atas nama Rukiah.

Ini benar-benar kebohongan RS yang keterlaluan sekali. Di rumah saya tidak ada nama Rukiah. Saya minta disebutkan alamat jelas saya dan mencari datanya sulit sekali dan membutuhkan waktu yang lama. LOgkanya dalam tanda terima tentunya ada alamat jelas surat tertujunya ke mana kan? Makanya saya sebut Manajemen Omni pembohon besar semua. Hati-hati dengan permainan mereka yang mempermainkan nyawa orang.

Terutama dr G dan Og, tidak ada sopan santun dan etika mengenai pelayanan customer, tidak sesuai dengan standard international yang RS ini cantum.

Saya bilang ke dr G, akan datang ke Omni untuk mengambil surat tersebut dan ketika suami saya datang ke Omni hanya dititipkan ke resepsionis saja dan pas dibaca isi suratnya sungguh membuat sakit hati kami.

Pihak manajemen hanya menyebutkan mohon maaf atas ketidaknyamanan kami dan tidak disebutkan mengenai kesalahan lab awal yang menyebutkan 27.000 dan dilakukan revisi 181.000 dan diberikan suntikan yang mengakibatkan kondisi kesehatan makin memburuk dari sebelum masuk ke RS Omni.

Kenapa saya dan suami saya ngotot dengan surat tersebut? Karena saya ingin tahu bahwa sebenarnya hasil lab 27.000 itu benar ada atau fiktif saja supaya RS Omni mendapatkan pasien rawat inap.

Dan setelah beberapa kali kami ditipu dengan janji maka sebenarnya adalah hasil lab saya 27.000 adalah fiktif dan yang sebenarnya saya tidak perlu rawat inap dan tidak perlu ada suntikan dan sesak napas dan kesehatan saya tidak makin parah karena bisa langsung tertangani dengan baik.

Saya dirugikan secara kesehatan. Mungkin dikarenakan biaya RS ini dengan asuransi makanya RS ini seenaknya mengambil limit asuransi saya semaksimal mungkin. Tapi, RS ini tidak memperdulikan efek dari keserakahan ini.

Sdr Og menyarankan saya bertemu dengan direktur operasional RS Omni (dr B). Namun, saya dan suami saya sudah terlalu lelah mengikuti permainan kebohongan mereka dengan kondisi saya masih sakit dan dirawat di RS lain.

Syukur Alhamdulilah saya mulai membaik namun ada kondisi mata saya yang selaput atasnya robek dan terkena virus sehingga penglihatan saya tidak jelas dan apabila terkena sinar saya tidak tahan dan ini membutuhkan waktu yang cukup untuk menyembuhkan.

Setiap kehidupan manusia pasti ada jalan hidup dan nasibnya masing-masing. Benar. Tapi, apabila nyawa manusia dipermainkan oleh sebuah RS yang dipercaya untuk menyembuhkan malah mempermainkan sungguh mengecewakan.

Semoga Allah memberikan hati nurani ke Manajemen dan dokter RS Omni supaya diingatkan kembali bahwa mereka juga punya keluarga, anak, orang tua yang tentunya suatu saat juga sakit dan membutuhkan medis. Mudah-mudahan tidak terjadi seperti yang saya alami di RS Omni ini.

Saya sangat mengharapkan mudah-mudahan salah satu pembaca adalah karyawan atau dokter atau Manajemen RS Omni. Tolong sampaikan ke dr G, dr H, dr M, dan Og bahwa jangan sampai pekerjaan mulia kalian sia-sia hanya demi perusahaan Anda. Saya informasikan juga dr H praktek di RSCM juga. Saya tidak mengatakan RSCM buruk tapi lebih hati-hati dengan perawatan medis dari dokter ini.

Salam,

Inter Farewell Luis Figo By Edging Atalanta In A Thriller

2009-05-31T17:23:00.000-07:00

The champions of Italy just got over the line against a determined Bergamaschi outfit, to send off Figo in the best possible fashion

Pre-Match And Team News

Inter won their fourth successive Scudetto a couple of weeks ago, following Milan’s failure to pick up any points on their travels to Udinese. They celebrated the occasion by smashing three past a hapless Siena side 24 hours later, only to suffer a disappointing 2-1 loss at the hands of Cagliari last weekend.

The Nerazzurri were keen to turn this form around, as they looked to end the season off on a high, in what was set to be Luis Figo’s last ever match for the club against Atalanta. His side were unfortunately without the injured Maxwell and Nelson Rivas yet again, as well as Marco Materazzi, who was ruled out only hours prior to kick-off. Meanwhile, their opponents had a quartet of players missing through injury, as Ferreira Pinto, Diego De Ascentis, Jaime Valdes, and the Genoa-bound Sergio Floccari all watched from the sidelines.

First Half

The visitors got the play underway at the San Siro stadium, and despite having little to play for, they pressed forward with real purpose in the opening minute. It didn’t take the home side long to find their feet though, as they enjoyed the lions share of possession in the first five minutes, looking extremely threatening when in attack.

It took Inter just six minutes to open the scoring, as Muntari broke the deadlock with a straightforward strike from close range. Zanetti’s wide pass to Figo, led to the Portuguese veteran skipping past two opponents and then delivering a dangerous ball into the area. A fumble by the keeper Consigli resulted in the ball falling to the feet of Muntari, who made no mistake with a right footed effort.

The Nerazzurri were in full control, however completely against the run of play, the visitors immediately struck back through Doni, who levelled proceedings after 10 minutes of play. An inch perfect cross from a corner taken by Guarente, picked out an unmarked Doni, who easily guided his header past Julio Cesar to make it 1-1.

There is a reason why Jose Mourinho’s men are the champions, and they proved it just two minutes later, when Ibrahimovic gave his side the lead once again. A long ball forward by Cambiasso fell into the path of an on-side Ibra, who took a touch, and then buried a powerful effort into the bottom corner, giving Consigli no chance whatsoever.

Both sides had glorious opportunities to add to their respective tallies over the next ten minute period, as firstly Ibra squandered a massive chance for the champions, after some great play by Balotelli. Moments following this, Garics picked out an unmarked Plasmati in the area, however the forward’s header was high and wide of the target.

Astonishingly the fourth goal of the match was scored on 25 minutes, as Cigarini levelled proceedings once again. After some havoc on the edge of the area, the ball spilled loose, allowing the midfielder to take full advantage of it, and smash a wild drive into the top right corner to make it 2-2.

Inter should have reclaimed the lead on 31 or 33 minutes respectively, as Figo was firstly denied a one on one opportunity with Consigli, following an incorrect offside decision by the linesman. Moments later, Ibrahimovic could have secured his Capocannoniere award, had he not hit his volley from inside the six yard box onto the roof of the stadium.

The tempo of the match completely dropped off in the final ten minutes, however there was one moment of significance in this period, as Luis Figo came from the field, bringing an end to his glittering career with the club. Santon was brought on in his place to see out the remaining minute of play, however his presence would not be enough to alter the score line, as the two sides left the field deadlocked at 2-2.

Second Half

Prior to the commencement of the second half, the Atalanta coach Luigi Delneri made his first change of the match, and it was surprisingly a change in goal, as Consigli made way for Coppola. The substitute was immediately called into action, as he was forced to keep out a number of efforts from the dominant Ibrahimovic, who looked keen to add to his tally in the contest.

Incredibly on 55 minutes, Doni grabbed his second goal of the afternoon to give his
side the lead. A free kick around 25 yards from goal was awarded to the visitors, following a tough challenge on Plasmati by Samuel. Doni stepped up to take the free kick, and he made it look easy, as his stunning effort impressively curled into the top corner.

The champions were stunned, and it was evident, as they struggled to impose themselves and re-establish their dominance of the first half. Out of nothing though, Muntari found the back of the net with a spectacular overhead kick on the hour mark, one that was immediately ruled out for offside though, meaning that the visitors maintained their slender advantage.

Atalanta should have had a fourth just moments later, after Padoin committed what will go down as one of the misses of the season. Doni’s perfect cross into the area, picked out Padoin at the back post, however he somehow sent his tap in wide of the target. The midfielder was keen to make amends just three minutes later, when he saw a long range effort crash into the crossbar, denying him another opportunity to get his name onto the scoresheet.

Mourinho immediately acted by making a double substitution, as Maicon and Crespo entered the field of play, in the place of Chivu and Stankovic respectively. The pair almost combined for what would have been the equalising goal on 68 minutes, as the Brazilian’s cross met the head of the Argentine hitman, however his header was also denied by the woodwork, adding further drama to an already dramatic encounter.

Inter had a second goal ruled out in the space of 15 minutes, when Crespo was adjudged to be in an offside position with just over a quarter of an hour remaining. A free kick by Balotelli was met by the head of Ibrahimovic, who flicked the ball to Crespo, allowing the Argentinean to direct the ball towards the goal. Coppola was beaten, however the linesman harshly decided that he was in an offside position, meaning that the goal did not stand.

All of the Nerazzurri’s hard work paid off on 78 minutes though, when Cambiasso finally grabbed a well deserved goal for his side, one that came about from their 14th corner of the match. The corner fell to the feet of Muntari, who tested his luck from close range to no avail. His Argentinean team mate Cambiasso pounced on to the lose ball however, to stab it home from inside the area.

Unbelievably, Inter made it 4-3 just three minutes later, as a moment of brilliance by Ibrahimovic allowed his side to reclaim the lead. In the process, the Swedish superstar regained his spot atop of the Capocannoniere standings, adding to the significance of the goal. The hitman clearly wanted this one, as he was determined to win a challenge against Talamonti, and after doing so, he coolly back heeled the ball into the back of the net, with a contender for the goal of the season.

The visitors gave their all in the final minutes of play, and despite the fact that they looked threatening at times in the closing stages, it was too little too late, as the Nerazzurri ran away with an incredible victory, confirming their spot atop of the table. Inter are the champions, and they have done so in emphatic fashion, by seeing off their nearest opponents Juventus and Milan by a comfortable ten point margin.

Manohara Welcome To Your Home

2009-05-31T05:58:00.000-07:00

Manohara Odelia Pinot, beautiful model, which some time ago be tormented by her own, this day has been free. surprised me to see the impressions on Global TV, when the dish is several times bumpy excitement and said "I'm happy, I'm very happy!"

Manohara freedom this time, starting from the idea itself, that is push button with alarm in the elevator at the hospital where Singapore law treated. According to Mano, at the time he got news that his mother is in the bottom floor. But husband Mano, Tengku Fahri, forbade him to go down and hold in the Mano 3 floor lift. To attract more people, including security, Mano-squeeze any emergency alarm button in the lift.

In short, Manopun can meet with his mother, although in a way that is quite dramatic. For then 'forced' to return to Indonesia. Fortunately, the law of Singapore as Manohara protect human rights. So that Tengku Fahri could not pick it up and forced to leave the Mano back to her mother's hug.,

To journalists, Mano confess that during a daughter of King Kelantan Malaysia, it is not only a torture-torture of her husband, but also lose their rights as human beings. Now, what will be said Endang S. Taurina, iksan, Ratna Sarumpaet Mama Loren or even the mother during this dispute Manohara.

Apart from all that happened, why I so impressed with davina Fajarina mother, her mother is Mano. He dihujat here and there, humiliated, accused the alleged mercenary and other pain-imputation. But he remains steadfast and persistent, continually trying to get her son back.
Well, any of many people, I feel relieved on this case. Manohara has been free from prison he married and has a number of plans for future. Alhamdulillah.

Italian champions Inter welcome Atalanta in their last match of the Serie A season...

2009-05-29T07:38:00.000-07:00

Time To Celebrate… Again

After officially winning the Serie A title two weekends ago, which was already boisterously celebrated by players and fans alike, the Inter squad will be handed their medals and the new ‘Scudetto Cup’ following the match this Sunday afternoon against Atalanta. The Bergamaschi have nothing left to play for, so don’t expect a gritty, hard-fought encounter, but there will certainly be a great atmosphere in the stadium as the fans will get to see their idols celebrate their title on the pitch.

Coach Jose Mourinho struck gold, at least domestically, in his first season at the club, but has he managed to make them improve or progress in any significant way since replacing Roberto Mancini? Looking purely at the results, the answer would be no. The team went out of the Champions League at the last 16 stage, just like last season, and if they beat Atalanta their points total will be one less than what Mancini managed in his final season at the club, when he also won the league. Also, they failed to reach the Coppa Italia final, while with Mancini they had reached it four consecutive times.

One could point out that the team have had to suffer much less than last season to win the Scudetto, but that was mostly because Roma proved to be fiercely competitive last year, while this season neither Juventus nor Milan ever looked like they would seriously challenge Inter’s crown. It could also be said that Inter played better football under Mancini, and were less dependent on Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but one has the feeling Mourinho has managed to create a better atmosphere in the dressing room, as not everyone was on Mancini´s good side when he was the coach.

Inter also looked more competitive than in other years in their Champions League tie against Manchester United, and could definitely have knocked out the then-European champions with a bit more luck and clinical finishing. This bodes well for Inter’s future European adventures, which is what they will presumably be focusing on even more starting next season. Mourinho recently extended his contract with the club to 2012, ending rumours that he might leave for Real Madrid after just one season at Inter, so he will have plenty of time to mould the team in his image.

This season he has mostly had to fall back on Mancini’s tactics to achieve success, as his initial preferred 4-3-3 system didn’t work out well at all, mostly due to the flops that were new signings Amantino Mancini and Ricardo Quaresma. This summer he will undoubtedly bring in a few new players, after already securing Genoa´s Diego Milito and Thiago Motta, so it´s likely that next season we will really see what Mourinho wants Inter to be like.

Solid Season For Atalanta

It’s been another solid season for Luigi Del Neri’s Atalanta, who have never really been in danger of getting relegated, although they were also never able to challenge for anything more than a safe survival either. Considering the squad they have available, however, this is probably the best they could have done.

One of the highlights for them, perhaps their best match of the season, was the one against Inter back in January. Jose Mourinho’s team were completely outplayed at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia, conceding three goals within the first half hour, and it could have been worse as Atalanta hit the woodwork twice in the second half. The match finished 3-1, with Ibrahimovic scoring only a late consolation goal, and a few weeks later, they also thrashed Roma at home 3-0.

Coach Del Neri has done a decent job at the club since joining them two years ago, but he has announced he will leave Bergamo this summer, most likely moving to Sampdoria. While Atalanta are a stable Serie A club, they are not the most ambitious in the peninsula, as for them staying in the top flight is worth almost as much as winning a Scudetto for the top teams.

Recent matches at San Siro against Inter don’t bode well for Atalanta. Inter have won eight of their last nine home fixtures against the Orobici, although the last they did manage to win, in the 2001-02 season, they played a decisive role in the Nerazzurri’s downfall which led to them losing the Scudetto to Juventus in the infamous May 5, 2002 match against Lazio.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Luis Figo (Inter)

A week after Paolo Maldini made his final appearance on the San Siro pitch, another football icon will hang up his boots following the match. While Figo certainly isn’t a club icon like the Milan captain, he is still a huge name in the football world. Many thought his transfer to Inter in 2005 would be a bad deal for the Nerazzurri, as he was already 32, but he has given a solid contribution over the years, and is a popular figure among the Inter fans.

Cristiano Doni (Atalanta)

While he hasn’t done quite as well as in the previous two seasons with Atalanta, in which he scored 25 goals in total, the 36-year-old has still had a fine campaign and he’s showing no signs of slowing down. He usually comes up big in games against top sides, and has found the net frequently against Inter, so they’ll have to watch out for him.

PREDICTION

Atalanta are a tough side and won’t go down easily. Expect Inter to give their fans one last victory to end the season, but it won’t be a walkover.

Inter-Atalanta 2-0

Italian Champions Inter Stunned By Cagliari

2009-05-24T17:03:00.000-07:00

The champions of Italy suffered their fourth defeat of the campaign, as Cagliari continued their impressive run this season.

Pre-Match And Team News

Inter won their fourth successive Scudetto last weekend, following Milan’s failure to pick up any points on their travels to Udinese. They celebrated the occasion by smashing three past a hapless Siena side 24 hours later, and consequently they were looking to continue their good form as the season came to a close in this particular match.

As was the case last weekend, the Nerazzurri were without the injured trio of Maicon, Maxwell and Nelson Rivas, whilst their opponents Cagliari had a quartet of players missing through injury, as Rafael Acosta, Paolo Bianco, Alessandro Matri and Daniele Biondini all watched from the sidelines.

First Half

The home side got the play underway at the Sant’Elia stadium, and despite having little to play for in this match, they pressed forward with real purpose in the opening minute. Toldo found himself under immediate pressure from the Cagliari players, however he dealt with everything that was thrown at him in the early stages.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic continued his brilliant form this season with the opening goal after just eight minutes, following a great build up play. After picking up the ball around 30 yards from goal, Ibra worked his way through the opposing back four, to then fake a shot and eventually hit a powerful effort that was too much for Marchetti to handle.

The Swede was in the thick of the action moments later, as some neat work between he and Santon looked likely to set up a great chance on goal, however the young defender was brought down on the edge of the area with what looked to be a certain foul. The referee did not agree with the players though, despite the replays indicating that they certainly had a case.

The Rossoblu slowly started to get themselves into the match following this point, as they heaped the pressure on Toldo and the Nerazzurri back four. Cossu and Fini were responsible for orchestrating a large number of the forward movements, however the veteran keeper and Materazzi in particular, denied the home side the chance to draw level midway through the half.

They managed to get their reward after 34 minutes of play, through Cossu, who grabbed a well deserved equaliser. After being played through on goal, the midfielder easily made his way past Burdisso by faking a shot, which then allowed him to coolly slot the ball past Toldo to level the score at 1-1.

Cagliari continued to look the more threatening in the latter stages of the first half; however unfortunately for their sake, the Inter back four were determined not to concede a second prior to the half time interval. The champions were successful in doing exactly that, as the sides left the field all square as they started.

Second Half

As was the case in the first half, the home side started the brighter, as Acquafresca and Fini looked to get things going in the opening minutes of play. The Nerazzurri back four were under pressure right from the onset, as Burdisso was forced to make a decisive challenge after just six minutes into the half, to deny Acquafresca the chance to put his side ahead.

Inter had a golden opportunity to reclaim the lead on 53 minutes, when an inch perfect ball into the area by Santon was not taken full advantage of, as both Ibrahimovic and Cruz in particular squandered opportunities. The latter failed to make any contact with the ball, despite finding himself in an unmarked position at the back post.

Moments later, Allegri made the first change of the afternoon, as Parola was brought on in the place of Biondini. The substitute almost had an immediate impact, as he was involved in a play that led to Cossu chipping a ball to the back post, which forced Chivu into making yet another decisive clearance to deny Acquafresca. Following this, Mourinho made his first switch of the match, as Balotelli came on for Cruz.

The exhausting heat was beginning to take its toll on the players, which led to both coaches making their second changes of the contest. The Rossoblu introduced Lazzari in the place of Fini, to add some much needed energy in to the midfield, whilst the Nerazzurri welcomed Mancini onto the pitch, with Jimenez making way.

Incredibly Cagliari took the lead just moments following the Inter substitution, as Acquafresca grabbed his side’s second of the afternoon. A fantastic build up play led to Biondini with the ball at his feet on the right, and his glorious cross into the area was made the most of by the head of the Genoa-bound Acquafresca.

As the clock entered the final ten minutes, the opportunities began to dry up, as the home side looked determined to take three points away from this clash against the recently crowned champions of Italy. The Nerazzurri surged forward in numbers, however they simply could not find a way through the resolute Rossoblu defence.

Vieira made a mess of what was arguably the Nerazzurri’s best opportunity in the final minutes of the match, as he failed to make the most of a glorious through ball by Ibrahimovic. The Frenchman’s dreadful first touch allowed his opponents to clear the danger, and hold onto their slight advantage.

The referee’s whistle after five minutes of stoppage time brought the match to an
end, a contest that astonishingly ended in favour of the home side. The Rossoblu continued their impressive run of form this season, and their latest victory over the champions of Italy will see them comfortably finish in the top half of the standings at the conclusion of the campaign.

Cancer

2009-05-23T06:00:00.000-07:00

Cancer (medical term: malignant neoplasm) is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled growth (division beyond the normal limits), invasion (intrusion on and destruction of adjacent tissues), and sometimes metastasis (spread to other locations in the body via lymph or blood). These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign tumors, which are self-limited, and do not invade or metastasize. Most cancers form a tumor but some, like leukemia, do not. The branch of medicine concerned with the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer is oncology.

Cancer may affect people at all ages, even fetuses, but the risk for most varieties increases with age.[1] Cancer causes about 13% of all human deaths.[2] According to the American Cancer Society, 7.6 million people died from cancer in the world during 2007.[3] Cancers can affect all animals.

Nearly all cancers are caused by abnormalities in the genetic material of the transformed cells[citation needed]. These abnormalities may be due to the effects of carcinogens, such as tobacco smoke, radiation, chemicals, or infectious agents. Other cancer-promoting genetic abnormalities may be randomly acquired through errors in DNA replication, or are inherited, and thus present in all cells from birth. The heritability of cancers are usually affected by complex interactions between carcinogens and the host's genome. New aspects of the genetics of cancer pathogenesis, such as DNA methylation, and microRNAs are increasingly recognized as important.

Genetic abnormalities found in cancer typically affect two general classes of genes. Cancer-promoting oncogenes are typically activated in cancer cells, giving those cells new properties, such as hyperactive growth and division, protection against programmed cell death, loss of respect for normal tissue boundaries, and the ability to become established in diverse tissue environments. Tumor suppressor genes are then inactivated in cancer cells, resulting in the loss of normal functions in those cells, such as accurate DNA replication, control over the cell cycle, orientation and adhesion within tissues, and interaction with protective cells of the immune system.

Diagnosis usually requires the histologic examination of a tissue biopsy specimen by a pathologist, although the initial indication of malignancy can be symptoms or radiographic imaging abnormalities. Most cancers can be treated and some cured, depending on the specific type, location, and stage. Once diagnosed, cancer is usually treated with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
As research develops, treatments are becoming more specific for different varieties of cancer. There has been significant progress in the development of targeted therapy drugs that act specifically on detectable molecular abnormalities in certain tumors, and which minimize damage to normal cells. The prognosis of cancer patients is most influenced by the type of cancer, as well as the stage, or extent of the disease. In addition, histologic grading and the presence of specific molecular markers can also be useful in establishing prognosis, as well as in determining individual treatments.

Serie A Preview: Cagliari - Inter

2009-05-23T05:28:00.000-07:00

Newly-crowned champions Inter travel to Cagliari in what's little more than a friendly at this point of the season...

Not Much To Play For Any More

After winning their 17th Scudetto last week thanks to city rivals Milan’s defeat by Udinese, Inter can face their last two league games in relaxed mood, and no doubt the club’s management are already working to strengthen the team ahead of next season. Indeed, they have already completed their first two signings in midweek, bringing in striker Diego Milito and Thiago Motta from Genoa, who in exchange were handed the ownership of promising Cagliari striker Robert Acquafresca.

This is a move that has caused some controversy among Inter fans, as some consider Milito too old to be given his first chance at a big club, while it’s also questionable why Thiago Motta was sold by Barcelona while he was theoretically at the peak of his powers, at 25 years of age. Meanwhile, 21-year-old Acquafresca is considered a promising youngster, who has scored an impressive 12 goals this season for the Grifoni.

However, with the likes of Hernan Crespo and Julio Cruz likely to leave the club, it was clear Inter needed a goalpoacher, and Milito has an excellent goalscoring record over the past few seasons, although as said this will be his first stint at a ‘big’ club – his previous clubs being Racing Avellaneda, Real Zaragoza, and Genoa. It’s likely that, with Cruz and Crespo presumably out of the picture, Milito will not be the only striker Inter add to their squad this summer.

Most fans would agree, however, that the most important thing will be to keep Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has had possibly his best season ever, with 22 goals scored so far. The Swede is currently the only player in the world to have led his teams to league titles in six consecutive seasons: firstly one with Ajax, then two with Juventus (later revoked), and now his third with Inter. This indicates just how decisive a player he has become, and it’s only down to bad luck that he hasn’t had much success in European competitions yet.

Sadly for the Nerazzurri faithful, ‘Ibra’ has expressed uncertainty over his future on more than one occasion, precisely because of his disappointments on the European stage. However, a lot of that has been down to him, because he could easily have scored twice in Inter’s match at Old Trafford against Manchester United, in possibly their best performance of the season. In that particular match, Jose Mourinho’s side showed they can be competitive against the biggest teams in the world. If they play the same way in the big matches next season, and Ibrahimovic manages to get rid of his own mental ‘Champions League block’, he may not have anything to complain about any more a year from now.

Cagliari Want To End Great Season Well

It’s been a wonderful season for Massimiliano Allegri’s Cagliari side, who have managed to entertain their fans with good football and even challenge for a Europa League spot for large parts of the season. Not bad for a club that started out with the simple aim of staying in the top flight, and lost their first five consecutive matches.

The progress the Sardinians have made since then has been unbelievable. Although last week’s defeat away to Reggina ended their hopes of actually playing in Europe, and lately they have suffered a slight dip in form, that should not take the gloss off their extraordinary season in the least. Indeed, it has even led to coach Allegri getting linked with a move to Milan, although that is admittedly unlikely.

Some of their results against the big sides have also been impressive, as they managed to win 3-2 in Turin against Juventus, and left the San Siro with a 1-1 draw against Inter that could easily have been a victory with all the chances Cagliari wasted. They also beat Lazio 4-1 in Rome, and recently held Roma to a 2-2 draw at the Sant’Elia, in a match where they squandered a two-goal lead.

With nothing left to play for in this match for either team, it could be an unexpectedly entertaining match. The Rossoblu are traditionally strong at home, although this season they have suffered four home defeats. Recent home matches against Inter have gone well for them, as they have lost just once against them since returning to Serie A in 2004, their only defeat coming last season when goals by Julio Cruz and former Cagliari man David Suazo made sure of the points for the Nerazzurri.

Possible formation (4-3-3): Julio Cesar; Zanetti, Cordoba, Samuel, Chivu; Cambiasso, Stankovic, Muntari; Figo, Ibrahimovic, Balotelli.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Robert Acquafresca (Cagliari)

Earlier this week he learned he will play next season for Genoa, after Inter agreed to give up his ownership in exchange for Diego Milito and Thiago Motta. Not everyone agrees this was the right move, as the 21-year-old striker has shown great potential this season, nearly allowing Cagliari to qualify for the Europa League with 12 league goals. He also scored the opening goal in Inter’s home match against Cagliari, and he will be eager to repeat himself in this match to show his former owners they made a mistake letting him go.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Inter)

Probably the last objective Inter have left to play for in these final two games is seeing Ibrahimovic beat Bologna’s Marco Di Vaio to the Capocannoniere title. The Italian is currently just one goal ahead of him, so it could be an interesting little race. It would certainly be a fitting cherry on the cake and a just reward for a great season, perhaps the Swede’s best ever for any club. There is little doubt that, with 22 goals scored for the league leaders, he has been Serie A’s most decisive player this season.

PREDICTION

With neither side terribly motivated or under pressure, the team with the most class is likely to come out on top.

Cagliari-Inter 1-2

Inter Celebrate Scudetto In Style By Thrashing Siena

2009-05-17T18:31:00.000-07:00

The champions of Italy easily brushed past Siena, in front of a packed house at the San Siro stadium.

Pre-Match And Team News

Inter won their fourth successive Scudetto 24 hours prior to this match taking place, following AC Milan’s disappointing 2-1 defeat away to Udinese on Saturday evening. This particular match was set to mark this momentous occasion, however they would have to do without the injured pair Maicon and Nelson Rivas, whilst Julio Cruz was out through suspension.

Meanwhile, Siena had little to play for in this match, as their Serie A status was already assured, following their two wins in succession, against Napoli and Palermo respectively. Thankfully for their sake, they had a near full strength squad available for this clash against the champions.

First Half

The visitors got this celebratory occasion underway at the San Siro stadium, and it didn’t take them long to press forward with real purpose, especially through Calaio, who looked lively early on. He had the first chance of the night, as his thunderous drive from outside the area forced Julio Cesar into making an explosive save to put the ball out for a corner. Inter immediately responded through Ibrahimovic though, who attempted to cut the ball back to an unmarked Stankovic, however Curci was there to deny the Serbian a simple tap in.

The Bianconeri continued to play with real promise in the fashion capital, as they looked extremely menacing in the final third, despite the fact that they hadn’t put together any clear cut opportunities to this point. To their credit though, the champions were yet to have a single shot on goal of their own, in the opening 20 minutes of play.

The Nerazzurri did manage to have their first shot on goal on 22 minutes, albeit from an extremely difficult angle, as Ibrahimovic forced Curci into making his first save of the night. A decent build up play by Jose Mourinho’s men led to the ball ending up at the feet of the Swede, who easily skipped past two opponents, only to see his effort easily dealt with by the feet of the visiting keeper.

By the half hour mark the contest was turning into an extremely dull and lacklustre affair, as both sides lacked the creativity and the desire to breakthrough their opposing defence. The home fans were undoubtedly the most entertaining aspect of this encounter, as they had not stopped chanting and singing with the first half nearing an end.

The match continued to be played in a similar manner for the remainder of the period, however right on the stroke of half time, Esteban Cambiasso opened the scoring with a well struck left footed volley from inside the area. Balotelli’s ball into the penalty area from a dead ball situation was punched clear by Curci, however only as far as Stankovic, whose effort on goal forced the keeper into making yet another save. This time though the ball ended at the feet of the eventual goal scorer, who made no mistake from close range.

The referee’s whistle sounded just one minute later, as the re-crowned champions took a one goal advantage into the interval, following a fairly balanced opening period. The Bianconeri were desperately unlucky to be trailing at this point, however they still had a half of football to get themselves back into it.

Second Half

Inter resumed the proceedings in the second half, however prior to doing so, Marco Giampaolo made a double switch for the visitors by introducing Coppola and Jarolim, in place of Codrea and Kharja respectively. As a result, the Bianconeri’s formation changed, as the boss looked to test a 4-1-4-1 set-up, possibly for next season.

The change in shape seemed to confuse the Tuscan based outfit, as the Nerazzurri grabbed a second goal through Balotelli on 52 minutes. An impressive build up play saw Ibrahimovic flick the ball to Figo, who then played an outstanding ball forward to an unmarked Balotelli, and after beating the offside trap, the young Italian easily made his way around Curci to make it 2-0.

Siena had the chance to immediately respond through Calaio, as he managed to get on the end of a glorious ball into the area by Del Grosso, however his header was denied by the woodwork, and perhaps any chance that the visitors had of taking at least a point away from this match, ended with that failed attempt on goal.

Mourinho looked set to make his first change of the night, and despite 'Ibra' limping around on the pitch and asking to be replaced for a five minute period, the boss opted to leave him out there, perhaps as punishment for celebrating the Scudetto the night prior. Instead, Santon came on in place of Luis Figo, the man who announced his retirement earlier in the day, for the final 30 minutes of play.

As was the case in the opening half, the match took a severe dip in intensity at the midway point, resulting in the home side introducing the lively Mancini for the goal scorer Balotelli.
The change had an immediate effect, as the Brazilian played a glorious ball across the face of goal to Ibrahimovic, who smashed home Inter’s third goal of the night.

Inter made their third and final switch, as Orlandoni was brought on for Julio Cesar in goal. The Brazilian keeper left the field to a rousing reception, whilst Ibra continued to complain about being left out on the field to see out the final ten or so minutes of play. The substitute was immediately called into action, as he was forced to make a miraculous save to deny the Algerian international Ghezzal, who tested his luck from long range.

The final ten minutes was played out in a fairly lacklustre manner, as the Nerazzurri cruised to a 3-0 victory, confirming their title as the re-crowned champions of Italy. With two matches still to play, they have now extended their lead to ten points, proving their dominance over the competition this term.

TEAMS

Inter (4-3-2-1): Julio Cesar; Zanetti, Cordoba, Samuel, Chivu; Stankovic, Cambiasso, Muntari; Figo (Santon, 61’), Balotelli; Ibrahimovic.

Siena (4-3-1-2): Curci; Ficagna, Portanova, Brandao, Del Grosso; Vergassola, Codrea (Coppola, 46’), Galloppa; Kharja (Jarolim, 46’); Calaio, Ghezzal.

2009-05-15T08:11:00.000-07:00

Inter are only a victory away from the Scudetto, but they could even make do with a draw against Siena if Milan fail to win at Udinese the day before.

Inter Preparing For Celebrations

It would be a major surprise if Inter fail to win their 17th Scudetto this weekend against Siena. All they need to do is match Milan’s result in their game on Saturday night against Udinese, and the title is theirs. Despite their recent struggles, the lead they had built up over Milan and Juventus was so big that they could easily afford a number of slip-ups, most recently last week away to Chievo.

In that match, they confirmed their recent defensive problems and lack of concentration, as they twice gave away a one-goal lead. Until a couple of months ago, Inter had built up their big ponts advantage on top of the table primarily thanks to their ability to hold on to a lead. Of course, it could be that after opening up such a gap between themselves and their followers, the players started to lose focus somewhat.

In any event, overall Inter’s problems this season have been minor compared to Juve's and Milan’s, so even losing points in recent matches against Palermo, Napoli, and Chievo hasn’t been enough to put the Scudetto race seriously in doubt. Still, the apparent ease with which the Nerazzurri are about to win the title suggests not all is right in Italian football (something we all know is true). It also explains why they always seem to struggle in European matches; in Serie A they have lacked serious competition over the last few years.

Most probably next season Juventus and Milan will be more competitive, although that was also thought to be the case ahead of this season. There is a sense, however, that Inter will find it much harder to defend their title if their rivals do make big steps ahead next season, as this year Jose Mourinho’s side have not always looked as solid as they were under Roberto Mancini. Also, the club’s focus will likely be even more strongly on the Champions League, especially if Mourinho gets the players he feels Inter need to be competitive in Europe.

All of this suggests next year’s Scudetto race will not be as good as over well before the end of the season, as was the case this term - which is good news for Italian football, as a competitive title race will make all clubs involved in Europe psychologically stronger when they face big Champions League ties.

Siena Ready To Frustrate Inter Again??

After officially securing their stay in Serie A for another season last week, Siena can prepare for the match against Inter without serious worries. In fact, they were in a similar situation around this time last season, when they travelled to San Siro to face the Nerazzurri on the penultimate matchday of the league. The home side needed a win to make sure of the Scudetto, but Siena battled to a 2-2 draw, forcing Inter to postpone their celebrations.

Although they did end up winning the title in the match against Parma, Siena managed to give Roberto Mancini and his troops a mighty scare, and kept all Italian non-Inter fans’ hopes of another 5 May-like collapse alive until the final match.

Roma proved to be fiercely competitive until the bitter end, and in fact they were virtually champions for about an hour on that final matchday, before Ibrahimovic came on and decided the match at Parma with a brace. The same cannot quite be said about Milan, who lost the last glimmer of hope in last week’s home draw against Juventus.

The pressure on Inter for this match should not be as strong as it was in this same fixture last season, then, but Siena are a team they have often struggled against. Statistically this season has been their best ever in Serie A, and it’s no surprise coach Marco Giampaolo is now being linked with a move to a more prestigious club.

Earlier this season, the Bianconeri should have earned a draw in their home match against Inter, but only an incredible error by the linesman, who failed to see that Maicon was around a metre offside when he scored the winner, denied them a deserved point. Giampaolo’s men will undoubtedly draw courage from that particular match and they will fancy their chances of getting a result in this one, although it should be said their away form has been considerably inferior to their home results.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Inter)

After missing the match against Chievo due to suspension, Inter’s best player will be available again for this one, and he’ll want to be firing on all cylinders to be decisive again as he has so often been this season. The Swede is also competing for the Capocannoniere (top scorer) title in Serie A along with Marco Di Vaio, who is currently one goal ahead of him. If transfer rumours are to be believed, this could also be one of his last matches with the Nerazzurri. President Massimo Moratti has already assured the fans he will stay, but his repeated admissions that he is ready for a new challenge is a cause for concern.

Massimo Maccarone (Siena)

While he hasn’t quite managed to repeat his exploits of last season, when he scored 13 goals for Siena, once again Maccarone has been the team’s most prolific and reliable goalscorer, with eight to his name so far. The 29-year-old may not be a world-class striker, but his international experience has proven invaluable to Siena’s survival chances in the last few seasons.

Chievo Draw With Inter To Extend Scudetto Race

2009-05-10T09:03:00.000-07:00

An exciting match saw Chievo and Inter draw 2-2 at the Stadio Bentegodi, slowing the Nerazzurri's Scudetto run...

Pre-Match News

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was suspended after picking up a yellow card last week, so Hernan Crespo was inserted in the line-up to partner starlet Mario Balotelli up front.

Coach Mimmo Di Carlo had to do without a number of key players, including Stephen Makinwa and the suspended Giampiero Pinzi. Despite disappointing this campaign, Erjon Bogdani was given a berth in attack.

First Half

The Serie A champions got off the mark with their first chance of the match. Dejan Stankovic was released down the left and his floated shot found Esteban Cambiasso. The Argentine's low shot was parried, but his compatriot, Crespo was on hand to pounce for just his second goal of the campaign.

The Nerazzurri had long spells of possession and Balotelli's burst of pace saw him get free of his marker down the right and play in a cross for Luis Figo, whose powerful effort was deflected onto the post on 13 minutes!

Chievo finally got a chance on goal when the ball was played square for Michele Marcolini, but his 20 yard effort was right at Julio Cesar. Bogdani then used his strength to shrug off Ivan Cordoba, but his finish was lacking.

It was a sign of things to come as Maxwell's weak clearance fell to Luca Rigoni, who poked the ball to Marcolini for an unstoppable drive into the net from outside the area after half an hour!

Jose Mourinho's men tried to hit back immediately, when captain Javier Zanetti beat his man and charged into the area, but after being tackled his penalty appeals were waved away.

The match opened up with some half-opportunities at either end, but neither side could break the deadlock before half-time.

Second Half

The visitors started the second half pressing for an equalizer and Maxwell's low cross was just nicked off of Crespo's foot.

Great interplay from Cambiasso and Crespo saw the ball shifted to Balotelli in a good
position, but his volley was twice blocked and Figo's powerful one-timer flew over the bar. The Nerazzurri's pressure was leaving the opportunity for the home side to counter and Bogdani found plenty of space, only to fire straight at the Brazilian number one.

Balotelli has only been involved sparingly, but scored an absolute stunner on 65 minutes. 'Super Mario' hammered the loose ball on the volley from the corner of the area into the top of the net!

Chievo earned a free-kick by the right corner flag and the well worked set-piece was lofted to Marcolini, but his shot was deflected into the arms of a scrambling Julio Cesar.

Again Inter conceded after taking the lead, former Nerazzurri winger Luciano side footed Mantovani's cross into the net with 15 minutes remaining.

The Verona-based side seemed content with the tie and began defending in numbers in order to hold on to the result as four minutes were added on for injury time.

There were no more chances and the tie means that Inter cannot be crowned champions this weekend regardless of the result between Juventus and Milan in the evening.
