Failure is Red: Inter is out of the Libertadores!
By: Bruno Romani | April 19th, 2007
Internacional won’t make it twice. The club that waited 97 years to make it big on the international stage is out of the Copa Libertadores. The club failed to advance to the knock-out stage, despite the victory over Nacional de Montevideo by the score of 1-0 tonight. Inter had to score 3 goals against the Uruguayans
Inter finished in third in group 4, and watched Velez Sarsfield from Argentina and Nacional advance to the next stage. Since 2000, when the champion begun to defend its title in the group stage, this is the first time the holder of the Copa of Libertadores falls that early in the competition.
After the game, Abel Braga said he won’t live the club, and FernandĂŁo expressed anger towards the busy Brazilian calendar. The fans are asking the new president PĂffero to leave, and hoping Fernando Carvalho, the man who started four years ago the project that took Inter to the top of the world, will come back.
Brazilian fans are saying that Inter is suffering of a “Once Caldas” syndrome, in reference to the Colombian club winner of 2004 Copa Libertadores that disappeared after it. Is Inter a “Doze Caldas”?
