Pelatih baru Inter Milan, Rafael Benitez, menyebut target pertamanya melatih di Inter adalah tak berhenti meraih kemenangan. Benitez mengaku ingin mengulang kejayaan "La Beneamata" musim lalu, yang berhasil meraih treble winner.

Tiga gelar tersebut adalah juara Serie-A, Copa Italia, dan Liga Champions. Selama setahun kemarin, bisa dibilang Inter tak bisa dihentikan tim lawan mana pun. AS Roma dikalahkan dalam perburuan gelar scudetto, sementara Lazio ditundukkan di final Copa Italia. Terakhir, pada final Liga Champions, Inter sukses memecundangi Bayern Muenchen.

"Obyektif kami musim ini adalah tak berhenti menang," cetus Benitez, pede.

"Kami bisa melakukan itu jika kami punya mentalitas sama seperti yang ditunjukkan tim ini tahun lalu. Semangat ini jauh lebih penting dari taktik dan formasi," tambah mantan pelatih Liverpool ini.

"Saya ingin membentuk tim yang bersatu seperti Italia dan mempunyai mental juara seperti Spanyol."

"Tentu sulit mengerjakan ini semua bila saya tak punya pemain yang bisa membantu mewujudkan keinginan saya. Meski begitu, beberapa pekan depan pemain akan kembali pulang dari liburannya dan akan selalu ada kabar transfer pemain," tutup Benitez.

Agen bek Inter Milan, Douglas Maicon, Antonio Caliendo, mengatakan, kliennya siap bertahan di San Siro. Namun, menurut Caliendo, bila Inter memutuskan menjualnya, maka itulah yang akan terjadi.

Maicon masih terikat kontrak dengan Inter sampai 2012. Namun, menurut media-media Spanyol dan Italia, Maicon terbuka terhadap kemungkinan hengkang ke Real Madrid, menyusul pelatih Jose Mourinho.

Presiden Inter Massimo Moratti sempat menyatakan akan mempertahankan Maicon. Namun, belakangan, ia mengaku berniat menjual satu atau dua pemain untuk memberi ruang bagi pelatih Rafael Benitez mendatangkan pemain baru.

Menurut Caliendo, kliennya berkomitmen kepada Inter. Namun, bila ternyata Inter ingin menjualnya, Maicon juga tidak keberatan.

Sekadar catatan, nilai jual Maicon mencapai 30 juta euro atau sekitar Rp 342 miliar. Namun, menurut Caliendo, Inter mungkin akan menjualnya dua kali lipat dari nilai tersebut.

"Sejauh saya tahu, saya yakin (Madrid sudah menawar Maicon). Mungkin, bukan soal jumlah uang seperti diberitakan media, melainkan soal keinginan Jose Mourinho (mendatangkan Maicon)," ujar Caliendo.

"Sejauh saya mengerti, Presiden Moratti tak meminta terlalu banyak. Ia sudah mematok harga 60 juta euro karena kami akan memperhitungkan gaji, dan itu berarti nilai jualnya naik."

"Bila Moratti memutuskan menjual Maicon dengan harga 35 juta euro, maka kontrak adalah miliknya dan ia menentukan harga. Orang lain bisa menolak atau menyepakati harga baru."

"Ini adalah jenis permainan di mana orang bermain di bursa pemain. Setiap orang ingin mengambil posisi dan bertahan dengan itu supaya mendapat keuntungan paling banyak. Itu masuk akal dan normal," paparnya. (FBI)

Gelandang Inter Milan, Wesley Sneijder, menyatakan masih akan berkostum biru-hitam musim depan, meski mendapat tawaran dari sejumlah klub besar Eropa, termasuk Manchester United. Menurutnya, ia sudah telanjur jatuh cinta kepada "La Beneamata".

"Aku akan tetap di Inter dan berkostum biru-hitam musim depan. Hatiku ada di Milan. Aku memenangi segalanya musim lalu bersama Inter," ujar Sneijder.

"Masih ada banyak hal yang bisa kami menangkan, misalnya Piala Super Eropa, Piala Super Eropa, dan Piala Dunia Antarklub, yang merupakan trofi-trofi bagus," tambahnya.

Sneijder bergabung dengan Inter dari Real Madrid akhir musim 2008-2009. Di San Siro, ia menjelma menjadi pemain penting yang sukses membawa Inter menjuarai Liga Champions, Serie-A, dan Piala Italia.

Level performa Sneijder tetap stabil saat membela Belanda di Piala Dunia 2010 Afrika Selatan. Dari enam laga yang diikutinya, ia empat kali terpilih menjadi Man of the Match.

Itu semua, menurut Presiden Inter, Massimo Moratti, membuat Sneijder diminati Manchester United. Namun, menurutnya, bila menyangkut Sneijder, Inter tak berniat meladeni tawaran dari klub mana pun. (FBI)

Pelatih Inter Milan Rafael Benitez mengaku tak pernah berpikir untuk melepas Douglas Maicon dan Mario Balotelli karena keduanya merupakan pemain berkualiatas.

Kedua pemain ini selalu dikaitkan akan hengkang dari San Siro pada musim depan. Maicon selalu dikait-kaitkan akan berlabuh di Real Madrid. Itu karena bek asal Brasil itu merasa cocok dengan gaya kepelatihan mantan pelatihnya, Jose Mourinho.

Sementara itu, Balotelli yang selalu berkonflik dengan timnya merasa "La Beneamata" bukanlah masa depannya. Baginya, hengkang dari San Siro menjadi pilihan tepat saat ini. Media-media Inggris menghembuskan kabar Manchester United atau Manchester City tertarik kepada penyerang berdarah Ghana ini. Setali tiga uang, Balotelli pun tergiur untuk bergabung dengan salah satu klub.

Benitez bilang kedua pemain tersebut telah menjadi aset berharga bagi timnya. Mantan pelatih Liverpool itu menyatakan, kedua pemain tersebut tetap menjadi bagian dalam skuadnya pada musim depan. Namun, pelatih asal Spanyol itu juga sadar bahwa keputusan untuk menjual pemain tergantung pada Marco Branca dan Massimo Moratti.

"Dalam hal ini mereka pemain Inter dan saya bahagia dengan mereka karena keduanya pemain berkualitas," ucapnya kepada Sky Sport Italia.
