Tottenham-Inter 3-1. Benitez: "Not a good match"

An ugly Inter loses against Tottenham at White Hart Lane. The Rafa Benitez team plays bad, suffers the speed of english team and does nothing to try to win. Wonderful Bale, he does what he wants, expecially thanks to a not very good moment for Maicon, and serves two perfect assist for goals. Too few alternatives for Benitez who, with many injuries, tries to invent a new midfield with Zanetti and Muntari but Tottenham players arrive always first on the ball and run at double. Only Eto'o is always the same: wonderful his goal but it's useless to avoid the defeat: 3-1 with goals by Van Der Vaart (18'), Crouch (16' sh), Eto'o (35' sh), Pavlyuchenko (44' sh).

After the match, Benitez said: "They were stronger than us, ran more than us and this has made the difference: when we lost the ball they restarted very fast. Bale? We played bad in the one-on-one. Now everything depends on us: if we win next match we can still go through. Maicon maybe was not perfect in defense, ma but always good forward. However, we have many injuries, expecially in the midfield, I hope to resolve soon this problem".
