Riise cannot wait for Inter clash
Posted Sunday, February 06, 2011 by ESPN
Roma defender John Arne Riise is relishing the prospect of playing defending champions Inter Milan on Sunday.
Roma lie sixth in the Serie A table, two points behind the Nerazzuri and will leapfrog them if they manage to win at the San Siro.
However, it will be no easy task against an Inter side that seems to be hitting its straps in the title race. And it will be Riise under the spotlight, after the former Liverpool man committed the error that led to Brescia's goal in the midweek 1-1 draw.
Speaking to laroma.it, Riise said: "Unfortunately I was the player marking the Brescia scorer.
"But, now there is the big match with Inter on Sunday night and our squad is almost complete.
"I cannot wait as we are ready for this game. It will be a tough game, not easy with many battles.
"There will also be a hard fight against many good players on the pitch. I cannot wait to play."
AC Milan will be hoping for a draw between the two sides. The Rossoneri travel to Genoa in their clash on Sunday.
