MILAN (Reuters) - Inter Milan seemed to be playing with fire when they signed Pablo Osvaldo, Mauro Icardi and Gary Medel, three potentially explosive players each with a well-documented history of controversy, before the start of the season.
Chile's Medel, nicknamed the Pitbull and raised in one of Santiago's toughest neighbourhoods, had received 13 red cards before joining Inter, was lucky to escape serious injury in a high-speed car crash in his homeland in 2009 and was caught drink-driving 18 months prior to that accident.
