Mancini did not allow his players to give interviews to the media before the game against Juventus, but he himself was not constrained.

"Fabio Capello's Juventus are horribly strong, they have only lost one game this season. But this collision is on our home turf and we have the support of the fans. The players know what this game means and they will give everything in this Italian derby. So I'm sure we'll get all three points at the San Siro. ”

'Juventus have the best backline in the world and world-class players like Nedved. Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is also a threat, "Mancini talks and smokes," but I think they still have weaknesses. I've identified Juventus' weaknesses and you'll see them in the game. ”

'It's a shame that Ricardo hasn't recovered as expected from his injury and I'm not going to risk him playing. Ronaldo and Adriano are strong enough to be the best attacking combination on the planet, and I don't think Cannavaro or Thuram will be able to contain them. ”

"Ronaldo is a myth in world football, his speed and explosiveness are almost to perfection. Just like there is only one Pele and one Maradona, Ronaldo is unique. ”

Capello laughed at Mancini's smoke bomb: "Wait and see, Ricardo will definitely appear in the game, I don't believe a single punctuation mark in what Mancini says." ”

'Ronaldo and Adriano are both strong, no one doubts that. But defending is a whole, and Mancini still has a lot to learn in this regard. ”

"I would advise Mancini as a senior not to give too much meaning to this game, it will make the players hot-headed. In fact, this is an ordinary league game, and there are only 3 points for winning the game. ”

The Juventus players also couldn't wait to jump out one by one to be interviewed by the media.

Ibrahimovic said: "I have a lot of respect for Ronaldo, he simply doesn't belong on this planet. I never miss a single game broadcast of Ronaldo. Looking at his technique, style, feints, and passes, I tell myself that he is the best, the most comprehensive, and unique. But football is not a one-man game, Ronaldo is strong and no one can freeze him completely, but Inter Milan is not our opponent. ”

Emerson said: "I know Ronaldo, Adriano and Ricardo. I used to play with them when I was in the national team. If I were to name the top 10 attacking players in the world, Ronaldo would of course be in the top 10, as would Adriano and Ricardo. But football is not a simple game of data stacking, and as a team, Juventus is much better than Inter Milan. Inter Milan have made too many unnecessary mistakes this season. ”

'Ronaldo is a real phenomenon, he has created a peak in Serie A that no other striker can surpass,' said Nedved, "and he has a guy like Adriano by his side, and in the game we have to give it our all and give 200 per cent. ”

Ricardo actually wants to shout in the air, Nedved and Ibrahimovic are players he admires very much. It's a pity that Mancini gave a gag order.

In his press conference the day before the match, Mancini still spoke about Ricardo's injury: "He's only 50 per cent, 60 per cent at most, and for the sake of his career, I'm not going to risk him playing. ”

"We have Ronaldo. Note that it is Ronaldo, who is in good form and has scored three goals in the last two league games. Needless to say, he is the number one striker in the world. With him on our side, I think Ricardo's absence is a bit regrettable, but it's not unacceptable. ”

"We're going to defend well in this game and we're not going to let Juventus score easily. We are well prepared for how to limit Nedved and Ibrahimovic. ”

Mancini was throwing smoke bombs again, trying to make Capello miscalculate the tactics he would adopt.

Fabio Capello said: "No matter what tactics Inter use, Juventus will only play their own football. ”

At least judging by the pre-match war of words, it should be Capello who has the upper hand slightly. Marshal Mancini exposes his immaturity like a little cunning fox, while Capello is an old and spicy hunter who has laid a trap waiting for him to step into.

But what are the facts?

On the evening of November 28, the San Siro (Meazza) stadium was packed, and 80,000 fans came to watch the Mars collision with the Earth.

Among them, there are only more than 5,000 Juventus fans, and the entire Meazza stadium is like a sea of blue and black.

In the North Stand, fan groups unfurled their own huge banners, singing, dancing and shouting slogans in an orderly manner.

A huge portrait of Ronaldo appears on the second floor of the North Stand, with a line underneath the portrait: "His Majesty the King of Meazza".

During the warm-up, Ronaldo stepped forward to greet the fans in the North Stand, smiling and appearing to be in a good mood.

And Ricardo also appeared in the warm-up ranks.

When the game was about to start and the Inter Milan players stepped out of the tunnel, Ricardo was also impressive!

"Everything was expected," Cannavaro said with a smile to his centre-back partner Thuram, "and the boss has long seen through their tricks. ”

"Don't underestimate him, I played against him last year, he's not your average young player, and he's definitely grown this year." Underestimate him, and you'll pay the price. ”

"It's none of my business, my mission today is to freeze Ronaldo with all my might," Cannavaro shook his head, "Don't expect me to be distracted to fill in for you, but you have to remember to support me, I can't freeze Ronaldo alone, he's an alien." ”

"Yes, I will support you if necessary," Thuram grinned, his lips thick and bared his teeth. Compared with his skin color, his teeth always look very white, "Whether we can get out of here today is mainly up to you." ”

Ricardo was also talking to Adriano in a whisper, "Ronnie is definitely the focus of the opponent today, the two of us need to connect more lines, and it is likely that we will need to solve the battle in the end." ”

Adriano nodded and shook his head: "It's impossible for them to stop Ronnie, Ronnie is the best in the world." But we need to give him more support. ”

"So you're going to be diligent and active for me today, you know?" Ricardo knocked Adriano's bare skull lightly.

"Got it!" Adriano grinned, not in the slightest offended.
