Quaresma dropped for 'not working hard enough'

Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho has dropped winger Ricardo Quaresma and striker Mario Balotelli from his squad to face Napoli on Sunday (1400 GMT) because of their poor form.

Mourinho slammed his players after Inter lost 1-0 at home to Panathinaikos on Wednesday but still progressed to the Champions League last 16.

The outspoken Portuguese singled out his compatriot Quaresma for special criticism after the defeat and has now dropped the player, who signed from Porto for 18.6 million euros ($24 million) in the transfer window.

Italy under-21 forward Balotelli has also been axed for the home game between the Serie A leaders and fourth-placed Napoli.

"They have been dropped because during the week they didn't work hard enough," Mourinho told a news conference on Saturday.

Marco Materazzi was also left out of the squad with Mourinho favouring a centre back partnership of Walter Samuel and Ivan Cordoba with the adaptable Nicolas Burdisso on the bench.

Mourinho was so angry with Wednesday's display, which came after an impressive 1-0 league win over Juventus, that he is now reviewing his decision to rest top striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic for their final Group B match at Werder Bremen on. Dec 9.

"Now everything is up for discussion and I don't want to go into the last 16 with eight points having lost in Germany. I want Inter to beat Werder and my team must also have this mentality," he said.

"Then again the issue with first or second place is relative. You finish second and get Barcelona or Manchester, or finish first and draw Real or Chelsea. It doesn't alter much."

Mourinho left out Brazil forward Adriano for five matches earlier in the season for breaches of discipline.

大马，小巴，夸雷都因训练态度不好被弃用

leohead

还因为冠军杯表现不佳

yysea

大马是因为连续踢了两场比赛  对那不勒斯穆里尼奥想让布尔迪索踢替补  一个替补够了

巴罗特利和夸雷斯马对怕纳新纳克斯踢了球 表现不是很好

维埃拉是因为有伤

ok  就这  加班去者

坚定与叛逆

马里奥租借出去吧……

我看博洛尼亚就成

坚定与叛逆

将小将先租借出去对大家都有利，憋闷在板凳和看台之间会毁了天才的

马里奥如果真的态度有问题，我反而希望让他留队，奥比纳等人出租
