Inter has got a tough draw with Frankfurt both are playing well in their respective leagues and it cant get any better than this draw.Inter might have cruised comfortably against their Austrian opponents in their last qualifying draw but Frankfurt will make sure that nothing is as easy as it seems.

i think u didn't understand the article very well: must valuable central defender, their not in goalscoring department,their work is to defend deep make sure their team conceive less goals..that's why the are called defensive midfielder..they also have attacking midfielder this one can score the opponent from any angles..in fact the are sporting striker...do u see the difference..in the pitch they have different department.....do u remember markelele of Chelsea..a france footballer he didn't have much goal on his career..when he retired Mikel Obi step up to position & did it very well after Mikel is now N'golo kante this guy has this job done in the first two seasons..untill this new their coach sarri came in with a player from Nappolie. .then change kante forword as offensive midfielder since then Chelsea can conceive 4 goals to 6 goals in a single just because of one man did not play in a right position..u see what it costs them and is going to cost that man his job if care is not taken..
