Chapter 294: Triple Crown

『Chapter error, click here to report』

Roma, who are three goals behind, look more fighting than when they are two goals down.

Maybe it's because they can't accept being humiliated at home.

Without Conte mobilising, Roma launched a fierce offensive wave after wave.

However, the efforts of Totti, Cassano and Montella were either neutralized by Toldo or missed their goal.

Seeing that Roma was gaining momentum, Mancini immediately made adjustments, replacing Adriano, who scored a hat-trick, so that he could accept the applause of the fans alone; Replaced C. Zanetti to strengthen the defense in midfield.

Stankovic moved to the left and Ricardo went up front and was a little behind Ronaldo to take on Ronaldo and the midfielder.

C. Zanetti's introduction made it more difficult for Roma to penetrate the middle, and they had to move the ball to the side frequently to cross, but they lacked the high point in the box, and most of the crosses were scrambled by Inter defenders to the first point.

In the 75th minute, a cross from a wide break by Roberto Mancini resulted in a goal, but the linesman raised the flag and Montella was offside.

Mancini Jr. was then injured and replaced by Greco. Roma's wide attack was also lame.

In the 80th minute, Mancini was ready to replace Ricardo and Martins was already waiting on the sidelines, when Inter Milan suddenly launched a counter-attack.

Stankovic won the ball on the left and duffled a shot to Cambiaso, who moved wide to the right.

Zemaria stopped the ball a little wider, and under pressure he had to rush the ball into the box and pass a low ball very close to the goalkeeper.

The ball was a mispass, but Ronaldo used his unbeatable speed to turn the cross into a good one, starting between the two Roma centre-backs and slotting in to get the ball in front of Kurci when he was about to hold it, but instead of shooting, he deftly slammed the ball back with his right heel and Licardo easily pushed it into the empty net.

"Ricardo goal! Unbelievable, the score became 4:0! The Roma team is completely stunned! Who would have predicted before the game that Roma would be four goals behind at home? They don't have a chance, and the chances of getting it back in the next round are pretty slim, almost impossible! Inter Milan are just half a step away from the treble! ”

After the goal, Ricardo and Ronaldo hugged in celebration and were replaced by Martins.

"Well done," Mancini patted him on the shoulder, smiling, "your and Ronnie's cooperation is truly pleasing to the eye." It's a pity ......"

As a champion coach, he will undoubtedly stay next season. Facchetti must have informed him of Ronaldo's imminent departure and he has to start thinking about how to build the team next season.

When Ronaldo was around, he was at the heart of the game.

But after Ronaldo leaves, will he straighten Adriano or make Ricardo the new attacking core? This is something that Mancini must address as soon as possible if he is to lead the team to good results next season.

The last 10 minutes were completely reduced to garbage time, and the Roma team wanted to score a face-saving goal, but the more anxious they were, the more they couldn't play a high-quality attack, and in the end they always ended up hurrying with a long-range shot; Inter Milan is also satisfied with the current score, and is reluctant to even fight back.

The two sides struggled and kept the score of 4:0 until the end.

When Ricardo and his teammates went to pay their respects to the visitors' seats, Totti approached him: "Change your jersey. ”

It was a shameful thing to be asked by the Wolves to change his jersey, and Licardo immediately took off his shirt and handed it to him: "You played very well, but unfortunately you were not lucky today." ”

Totti shrugged, "We weren't at our best today. Next season, hopefully when we meet again next season, we can get revenge. ”

He was obviously not very interested in the little character of Ricardo, and after a few polite sentences, he went to talk to Ronaldo.

Although Ronaldo is the current king of the game, Totti is also the king of Rome, although the status of the two is very different, but in the hearts of the fans of their respective teams, they are supreme.

Although Inter Milan won the game without controversy today, Totti's threat is still everywhere, and after Ronaldo's departure next season, Inter Milan will not necessarily have an advantage against Roma.

In his post-match press conference, Conte couldn't hide his embarrassment: "The opponent played well, but we had some chances, but luck wasn't on our side today. ”

'The lads worked hard and Cassano didn't score, but I'm happy with his play, he's a genius. I believe he has a bright future. ”

"Ricardo? He's no ordinary young man anymore, and in my opinion he's more than qualified to compete for the Ballon d'Or. ”

"0:4 is not the end of the world, we still have a chance in the next round, and we will not give up until the last minute."

Mancini, on the other hand, was still more modest. 'They played hard, but today we played better.

'Adriano's performance today is world-class, he will be at the heart of the team in the future, and he and Ricardo represent the future of Inter.

'The 4-0 scoreline doesn't reflect the true level of both sides, Roma had a couple of good chances, they just didn't take them. We still have some problems at the back and we'll try to fix that this winter break. ”

"Ronaldo, Ricardo and Adriano will not play in the next round, but I am confident that I will win the final round."

After this game, Inter Milan have effectively won the treble, and no one expects Roma to come back from four goals down.

The major European media have been reporting on Inter Milan's achievements at length.

The German magazine Kicker said: "Inter Milan's treble is not a surprise at all. The only active champion in the world in their team; There are only 6 world-class strikers in Serie A, Shevchenko, Crespo, Trezeguet, Totti, Ricardo, Adriano, and Inter Milan occupy a third. At the same time, they also have world-class midfielder Veron, world-class goalkeeper Toldo, and world-class defender Córdoba. With such a squad, they will all be strong contenders for the title in the coming seasons. ”

"World Sports News" analyzed: "Looking at Inter Milan's games this season, it can be seen that their style of play is not mature and stable, there are big holes in the backline, and the midfield organization is relatively chaotic, but their super strikers can always find opportunities to send the ball into the opponent's net and bring them victory." Ronaldo, Ricardo, Adriano, any team with one of these three is enough to challenge for the title, and they have all three. ”
