Inter millan vs Harambee Stars, 25th May 2014.

15- A team of Inter Milan legends starring
Italy 2006 World Cup winning star defender,
Marco Materazzi and Kenya midfielder,
MacDonald Mariga, will take on national team
Harambee Stars in a planned friendly on May
25.
Confirming the development on Tuesday,
Archimede Pitrolo, the Italian federation FIGC
vice-president, said the Nerazzuri side to
feature against Stars will also contain members
of the 2010 treble winners who will not make
the country’s squad for Brazil 2014 World Cup
with retired Honduran striker, David Suazo, who
scored 100 goals in 300 appearances in Serie A
among those who could play in the fixture.
“I confirm that we have made arrangements for
Inter Milan legends and those players who will
not make it to the Italian national team for the
World Cup, will be in Kenya to play in the
friendly match that will see Mariga play for us
(Inter).
“I think this will be a good exposure for the
Kenyan players who will learn a lot from the
legends,” the football boss stated.
Under current English Premier League titans
Chelsea FC coach, Jose Mourinho, Inter won the
Scudetto, Copa Italia and UEFA Champions
League with Materazzi and Mariga who
returned to the national team after a two year
absence in the aborted friendly against Sudan
in late February part of the squad.
The heavily tattooed Materazzi earned
international infamy at the final of the 2006
World Cup when his insult directed at France
legend, Zinedine Zidane, earned the icon a red
card after he head butted the defender as the
Azzurri went on to lift the title on penalties.
Inter are currently chasing to seal qualification
to next season’s Europa League and are sitting
fifth in Serie A on 53 points, 14 points behind
Napoli who are holding the last Champions
League place in third.
The Italian giants have already signed
Manchester United captain, Nemanja Vidic and
are eyeing his team mate, Patrice Evra and
Chelsea striker Fernando Torres for next season.
