Stankovic: Inter Scared Of Liverpool, Not Manchester United
-
The former Lazio prompter cannot wait to play the World Club Champions and he is full of confidence about the knock-out tie.
Inter midfielder Dejan Stankovic insists his side are not worried about facing Manchester United in the Champions League knock-out stages, revealing he prefers meeting the Red Devils over Liverpool.
The Italian champions lock horns with Sir Alex Ferguson's men in February for a place in the quarter finals of the competition.
Following last year's shambles against English opposition, Stankovic is confident of making up for it.
"Manchester? I am not worried. I was scared of facing Liverpool," Stankovic told Il Giornale.
"Liverpool are a high level team and they have something extra in Steven Gerrard.
"When you play them you see how he drags the team forward. He is their leader."
Inter are amongst the favourites to win the trophy this season even though Barcelona are the front-runners.
"The season is still long and everyone is talking about Barcelona," continued the midfielder.
"However, we will see what happens in February."
Meanwhile, Inter coach Jose Mourinho has already started the mind games with Ferguson by claiming he would rather coach the Nerazzurri over United.

Vidic Should Miss Out On Inter Matches - Mourinho
The Portuguese tactician believes that Vidic should be disqualified from playing the two matches against his side.
According to Inter coach Jose Mourinho, Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic should be given at least a two-match ban for his red card in the Club World Cup final, forcing him to miss his side’s Champions League last-16 ties against Inter Milan.
The Serbian defender was sent off for elbowing striker Claudio Bieler in the face in United's 1-0 win over Liga de Quito and will serve his punishment in European competition, with UEFA yet to decide the length of any ban.
Speaking on the matter Mourinho said, “I would be amazed if Vidic did not get at least two matches, which could be too little for a gesture like that in a match seen by the whole world.”
It is unlikely that the coach’s words will have any sway with European football’s governing body, but the final punishment may see the Serbian player miss out on one or two of this season’s key matches against the Italians.
It would also be interesting to know United boss Sir Alex Ferguson's reation to Mourinho's "recommendation."First Rooney now Vida.
