Last season Inter Milan won the Champions League as well as the Italian league title and the national cup – becoming the first Italian club to win the historic treble. "If you take into account last season then Inter Milan are currently the best of the best in European football," said Per Mertesacker about Werder Bremen’s up-coming Champions League opponents. But it was clear at the final press conference Tuesday at the Angelo Moratti training centre in Appiano Gentile that the Italians are not underestimating Werder.

 

"Werder are a strong team," Esteban Cambiasso said of the Green-Whites. "They have a tremendous mentality which they proved a couple weeks ago against Genua when they turned everything around just before the end," added the Argentinean international. "The first thing I think of when I hear 'Werder' is that they have a nice stadium. But also that they have often played against us and it was always a close game. They really have a very strong offence. We really have to watch out."

 

Inter coach Rafael Benitez agreed with his midfield star’s words. "I have to say that Werder are always a team that you have to take very seriously. They have a good team and have a lot of international experience," said the Spanish coach. Both Benitez and Cambiasso said that opinion will not change even though Werder will be without Frings, Fritz, Pizarro, Naldo and Boenisch for the Group A match. "Despite the injured players, Werder must still be considered just as strong as they if they had all their players," said Benitez. "Injuries belong to football and we also have to make do without some players. That will not be decisive tomorrow. The Werder Bremen team is made up of many good individual players," added Cambiasso.
