Inter midfielder Sulley Alley Muntari has followed in coach Jose
Mourinho's footsteps by continuing the mind games ahead of their
Champions League battle with Manchester United.
The Nerazzurri travel to Old Trafford on February 24
and the plan is to come away with a good aggregate lead from the
two-legged tie. Mourinho has already fired the first warning shots
and Muntari is not low on ammunition either.
"We are also very strong and they [United] are scared of us. We
are not a team who are easy to beat and we have learned from our
mistakes in the first phase. I am sure we will play two great
games," Muntari told La Gazzetta Dello Sport.
The former Portsmouth man joined Inter in the summer after their
move for Chelsea's Frank Lampard failed. Muntari insists he was
prepared to be second choice had the Englishman joined the
Nerazzurri.
"When I was in England, Mourinho called me and he told me that
Lampard was first choice. I told him I was ready and I went there,"
added Muntari. "I like everything about Mourinho. He knows how to
manage his players and every training session is different.
"He just has to look at you in the dressing room and you are
motivated, he doesn't even need to speak to get the message
across."
