THE PRINCE OF SNOW UNCOVERS RECORD WITH 9 GOALS IN 6 GAMES

Milito had never scored so many goals in a row.

Consolation: Lucarelli with a poker (four goals) and still lost.

MILITO IS THE ONLY THAT SCORED FOUR AND DID NOT WIN

Before Milito, there have been 11 Inter players that were able to score four goals in the same game.  And Inter had always won.  Diego is comforted by C. Lucarelli who scored a poker (4 goals) and lost in Parma 6-4 Livorno in 2005.

• Giuseppe Meazza - Two pokers: against Roma in 1930 and Lazio in 1933.
• Attilio De Maria - One poker in Inter 6-1 Sampierdarenese in January 20, 1935.
• Giuseppe Baldini - Four goals in Atalanta 2-5 Inter in January of 1943.
• Bruno Quaresima - He also had two pokers: against Alessandria and Bari in 1946.
• Benito Lorenzi - The "Venom" got four against Lucchese (6-0) on October 26, 1947.
• Amedeo Amadei - Four goals for him in Inter 9-1 Bari on October 31, 1948.
• Istvan Nyers - He alsos cored four against Bari in a 4-0 win on January 8, 1950.
• Eddie Firmani - Got four goals in Inter 7-0 Lazio on March 5, 1961.
• Roberto Boninsegna - Four goals against Foggia in 1973 (5-1) and Cagliari in 1974 (4-1).
• Alessandro Altobelli - The "Needle" got four in Inter 6-0 Catania in 1984.
• Christian Vieri - Monopolized the match of nter-Brescia on December 1, 2002.

Appiano Gentile - Prince, you are unique!  On Wednesday, Diego Milito returned him dazed.  Against Palermo he scored four but Inter left the field with just a point.  One consolation for Milito to think that on May 1, 2005 in Parma-Livorno, Cristiano Lucarelli did the same but he still lost 6-4.  Also because on the other side, Gilardino also scored four.

Never this hot The feat of the Argentinian remains however who in his career had never scored nine goals in six games like in this current streak which began with a goal against Lecce in a 4-1 win, a brace in a 5-0 win against Parma, one in the derby last month, one against Lazio, then the pause for reflection against the same Lecce before the eruption against the former teammate in Viviano.  This is the hottest scoring streak that Milito has ever experienced in his career.  Before Wednesday, he was stopped at 7 goals in 6 games and then 9 goals in 8 games with Real Zaragoza in La Liga and in the shirt of Genoa he did just as good.  9 goals in 7 games in 2003-2004 but that was in Serie B and 8 goals in 5 games in 2008-2009, the last season in Liguria before becoming the Treble icon.

Cursed World Cup And the magical 2010 started to give the Prince problems, who after 52 appearances and 30 goals with Inter did not get a breather in the summer.  The South American World Cup became a boomerang because Diego did not see the field and he returned to Pinetina squeezed with no energy.  Being less accustomed to double life between club and national like than players like Cambiasso and Zanetti, Milito had his vacation reduced and without proper preparation in the summer, in front of him that season was a tunnel full of injuries.  Even last summer, he was also affected negatively by the Coppa America in July.  Holidays were delayed to August, no Super Cup in Beijing and was not in form at the start of the season. 

Slagging summer Despite the "casual" brace against Palermo by rebounding the ball and by converting a PK, Milito was suffering.  Pazzini would have been better but Gasperini did not want to see the Italian national and insisted on the man who he coached in Genoa.  Diego only stop was against Napoli due to a calf problem but the relationship between him and the opposing goal is like that between son and mother-in-law: a constant fight.  Missing great opportunities in Bergamo and at home against Lilla, the killer in Madrid was missing goals from one meter out.  But now he seems to enjoy the confidence given by Ranieri and more calm.  And above all, he continues to arrive first at Pinetina and leave last.

Maniacal There are those that get depressed and those who double their efforts. The Prince - as well as a heart of gold, like when he chose not to stop for interviews on Wed because a teammate who hadn't played was waiting for me in the car" - is an absolute professional. And he can control even the wind thanks to that. It's true that now he's physically fit, however fact remains that before he was hitting the bar from two yards away, now his shot in the Derby hit the post and went in, opponents like Silvestre give him assists and a miskick from Pazzini becomes the best pass imaginable. To score 4 goals you need a bit of luck.
