Solo Inter
Reserve Team
I was thinking this needs its own thread. So many stories about Vieri's pissed, Vieri is leaving, and so on. This is the latest story about Vieri, and I'm sure it won't be the last.

Vieri in new Zac row Sunday 2 May, 2004
Christian Vieri’s stint at Inter took another step towards a conclusion after he was furious at again being dropped from the side.
The Italian was left out by boss Alberto Zaccheroni at Lecce this afternoon, which seemed to increase the tension between the two men.
Reports allege that Vieri was so angry at being left out of the team again that he didn’t leave the team bus until 30 minutes before kick-off.
Vieri was eventually brought on in the last 10 minutes of the game, but he couldn’t help his side avoid a 2-1 defeat.
The striker was interviewed by a RAI TV journalist after the game where he wasn’t in the best of moods.
“Playing six minutes is better than nothing,” he snapped. He was then asked another question but stormed off down the tunnel before answering.
Boss Zaccheroni, who has publicly clashed with the player on two occasions this season, insisted there was no new break in their relationship.
“There is no reason behind his exclusion,” said the Coach. “It was nothing more than a tactical choice.”
However, today’s events seem to confirm that there is an incompatibility between the two men.
It seems certain that either Zac or Vieri, or even both, will leave the Nerazzurri at the end of this season.
