At the end of the first half, Inter Milan had a temporary 2-0 lead at home to Juventus.

"Looking at the first half, it was a defeat for Juventus. Commentator Ferrari said, "The Bianconeri, who are doing their best, are still playing so passively in the face of Inter Milan, who are most of the substitutes!"

"Inter Milan are now more than one pole position ahead of other teams in Serie A, the quality of the players is ahead, the age structure of the team is reasonable, and most importantly, the coaching ability of the manager, Leon is a well-deserved No. 1 coach in Serie A!" said Rossi, who spoke highly of Leon.

However, his assessment was fair, which can be seen from the first half of the game, Ranieri's on-the-spot adjustment, once brought a little trouble to Inter Milan, but Leon then made it easy to let Muntari and Marchisio switch positions, and it all was solved, and Inter Milan once again controlled the game.

"We also have to mention Marchisio, this young man who Leon poached from the Juventus youth team, the performance of this game was simply fantastic, this is the first time that Marchisio has scored twice in a game, the opponent is Juventus, Juventus did not pay attention to youth training, did not pay attention to Marchisio, and now he has been punished, which is really a bit fatalistic. Ferrari nodded and said, Italians have always been superstitious, and there is a market for so-called fatalism.

At half-time, Leon praised his team's performance, and there was no reason to be dissatisfied with the half-bench and a two-goal lead over Juventus in the half-time without sweating.

Not long after the start of the second half, Juventus suffered a blow.

Their captain, Del Piero, strained his muscles when he stopped the ball without contact, and could not continue the game.

Claudio Ranieri had to make a substitution, with Iaquinta coming off the bench to replace Piero.

Leon saw Ranieri's substitution, flattened his mouth, he really didn't understand Ranieri's substitution, Iaquinta and Trezeguet two center forwards on the field, Juventus want to play a double center forward formation?

The midfield is cut, there is no one to feed the shells, what are the two central strikers of Juventus doing in front?

***********

The departure of captain Piero with an injury was a big blow to Juventus, and Ranieri's subsequent adjustment was also slammed as a big failure after the game.

Juventus then suffered another blow when Nedved fouled Diego Milito in a defensive and was shown a second yellow card by the referee, two yellows turned into one red, and the Czech veteran was sent off with a red card.

Claudio Ranieri had to make another substitution, replacing the lackluster Trezeguet in the forward line with Salihamidzic, and it took less than five minutes for the two-centre-forward tactic to stop there.

After the restart, the Juventus team was somewhat absent-minded, or rather lost. The score of 0-2, although there is little hope, there is still a motivation to fight, but now that Piero is injured, Nedved is red-carded, the team has one less person to fight, and the two goals are behind, which really makes the Juventus players a little desperate.

The camera gives a close-up of Juventus' coaching box, with Ranieri standing on the sidelines with a dazed expression.

Ranieri didn't know what to do, the score was two goals behind, Nedved was also sent off, whether it was the score, the field or the number of people were at a disadvantage, Juventus wanted to reverse the game, it was really difficult.

And the most important thing is that if there is a solution, even if there is little hope, there is still hope, and there is still the motivation to fight, but now, in the face of such a situation, he really has no solution to the problem!

Claudio Ranieri is well aware of the current situation, and for Juventus, it is already a very difficult result for Juventus to be able to continue to concede goals in the following games and end this first leg with a score of 0-2.

Inter Milan is the best team in the European giants to play downwind, which is of course not to say that Inter Milan will not play against the wind, but to say that when it is possible to 'beat the water dogs', Inter Milan will never miss the opportunity, and they will carry out the principle of 'taking advantage of your illness to kill you' to the end. That's what Ranieri fears!

***********

As Ranieri feared, Inter did not give Juventus time to settle their ground. Now that the Juventus team has suffered a heavy blow due to the injury of the captain and the sending off of Nedved, it seems that it is a good opportunity for Inter Milan to attack in a big way.

And Leon also made an adjustment immediately, he replaced Aguero and replaced the 'new force' Arshavin, which is also a signal not to stay and continue to attack, and the players of Inter Milan naturally know what they should do.

After a barrage of attacks, Inter scored again.

This is Arshavin in the process of advancing with the ball on the side, suddenly very clever ball, followed by Mata to pick up the penalty area, Diego Milito carried Chiellini, the Argentine chest stopped the ball, half-turned and volleyed, the football was blocked by Chiellini's outstretched leg, refracted, Buffon touched the football, but still could not completely stop the forward trend of the football, the ball finally rolled into the net.

Milito was very excited after the goal, and he rushed to the place where the die-hard Inter fans gathered and made the gesture of kissing the shirt, which was obviously a very flattering gesture to the fans, and the stands burst into cheers.

The rest of the Inter players were also excited, and they surrounded Milito and celebrated the goal with joy.

There was also a lot of cheer on the bench, and everyone knew that with a score of 3-0, Inter Milan had one foot in the semi-finals of the Italian Cup.

Naturally, Leon was happy, but he didn't celebrate too enthusiastically, imagine that he first came to Inter Milan in the summer of 2005 and faced Juventus in the 2005/2006 season, and after scoring a goal, it was a crazy celebration, and now it's just a celebration of two clappings or something, which is really gentle, because he doesn't need to do that anymore. For Leon to think of Inter Milan, the current Juventus team cannot threaten Inter Milan's dominance in Serie A, a loser who has already been trampled in the mud, does he need to take another look?

***********

The Inter Milan fans in the stands of the Meazza Stadium stood up for the rest of the game, cheered, and watched the game with singing and dancing, while the Juventus fan lineup in the stands of the away team was quiet, and many Juventus fans even began to leave the stadium early when there were nearly 20 minutes before the end of the game: the score was 0-3, and one person was sent off, and they couldn't stand it.

In the end, in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia in 2007/2008, Inter Milan beat Juventus 3-0 at home.

For this score, as well as the process of the game, after the game, no Italian media was surprised, saying anything incredible, or unimaginable.

Although Inter Milan did not play the main team, and even the team that played against Juventus can only be regarded as a semi-substitute and half-main lineup, but the strength shown by Inter Milan and the super strength that surpasses other opponents in the Italian league are there, and they are so strong.

It is not surprising that such an Inter Milan, even if it is only half of the main team, can beat Juventus by a large margin, which is not surprising in the subconscious of the Italian media and fans.

Isn't this a normal performance for Inter?!

"They're so strong!" - La Repubblica lamented after the game.
