The fourth Italian national derby of the season is about to kick off! At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on May 12, the final of this season's Coppa Italia will be contested at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, and the sworn enemies of Inter Milan and Juventus will usher in the fourth head-on hard game of the season.
Since Inter last won the Coppa Italia, it was in the 2010/11 season, and now the team has waited 11 years to have the opportunity to lift the championship trophy of the event again, I believe that the Nerazzurri soldiers will definitely play to the end in this final. Also for Juventus, with only the Italian Cup left to win this season, the Bianconeri will face the most embarrassing no-show season in nearly 11 years if they can't win the title. So for this Coppa Italia final, Juve is also imperative.
In order to be able to break the embarrassment of not winning the Coppa Italia in the past 11 years, Inter president Zhang Kangyang made a wise move before the Final of the Coppa Italia. According to the "Milan Sports Newspaper", Chairman Zhang sent an email to all the staff of Inter, of which about 300 people were willing to follow the team and go to the Olimpico in Rome, for which Zhang Kangyang had chartered a train. The train will depart from the city of Milan at noon tomorrow and return on the night of the race. In the eyes of the media and fans, the inter president's move has great symbolic significance, Zhang Kangyang regards Inter as a big family and treats everyone in the way of family.
Arranging club staff and relatives of players to compete in the final with the team, Chairman Zhang's practice can be said to be very warm and greatly encourage the morale of the team. Especially for the soldiers of the Nerazzurri, with the on-site cheers of their families and the staff around them, and feeling the atmosphere of the home battle, they are bound to play more excitedly.
The italian cup winner, for the current Inter Milan, the importance is self-evident. If nerazzurri can once again beat nemesis Juventus in the Coppa Italia final, Inter will create an unbeaten run against Juventus four times in a single season. In the previous three Italian national derbys this season, Inter have a record of 2 wins and 1 draw against Juve. The last time the Nerazzurri didn't lose to Juve in three consecutive games was 12 years ago. Being able to defeat their sworn enemies again and win the title will boost the confidence of Inter' players.
With the title of domestic cup double this season, Inter will launch a final powerful attack on the Serie A title. Although Inter are currently two points behind Milan in the Serie A table, with two rounds left in Serie A this season, whether the Nerazzurri can defend their title will depend on the faces of their opponents. But as long as Inter can lift the Coppa Italia, I believe that according to the momentum and morale of the team, the next 2 rounds of Serie A matches, keep the full victory and get 6 points, there is no problem.
In contrast, AC Milan will face challenges from Atalanta and Sassuolo in the last two rounds. To know that the Atlanta team is fighting for European qualification, the team will not lose to the Rossoneri, once the crazy real blue and black, milan challenges and difficulties can be imagined. As for Sassuolo, this is also a magical team, which has completed the feat of beating Milan, Inter and Juve this season. Therefore, facing AC Milan, Sassuolo was not afraid. So for Inter, as long as the team can win the Coppa Italia, the morale-boosting Nerazzurri will still have a play to defend their title in Serie A!
