It was the second leg of the Coppa Italia final, with Inter Milan hosting Roma.

67,000 fans chanted "pazzainter" and cheered on the home team.

This season, Inter Milan exited the Champions League early and lost the Serie A title early. Last season's unbeatable treble is now only a fig leaf for the Coppa Italia.

If you don't want to be empty, this is Leonardo's last chance.

With a 1-0 win over Roma in the first leg, Inter Milan only needed a draw to win the Coppa Italia, so Leonardo's line-up was conservative.

He put out a lineup that many people can't understand, and it can barely be said to be 4312. Goalkeeper Cesar, left-back Yuto Nagatomo, right-back McConn, and central defender are a combination of Lucio and Zivo, three defensive midfielders, captain Zanetti, Cambiasso and Mariga, who have rarely played this season. Halja appeared in the midfield position. Pazzini, who scored twice in the last game, and Samuel Eto'o partnered up front, while Philippe Coutinho, who scored after coming off the bench in the last league game, remained on the bench.

But on paper, Inter Milan did not show the strength to overwhelm their opponents.

Last season's steel-concrete backline, which dominated Europe all over Europe, was full of holes in the first half, but thanks to Cesar's rescue, Inter Milan did not fall behind.

Entering the second half, Inter Milan was even more tired. Cambiasso and Zanetti both have world-class quality and both play hard but can't get the midfield running well.

A midfield without Sneijder is like a machine without gears, and it simply doesn't work well. Mariga and Harja also lack playmaking and last-pass skills, and they are also more defensive. As a result, Eto'o and Pazzini on the front line are stuck in a single battle, lacking support, and they can't open the situation for a long time.

Despite this, Leonardo still sits firmly in the Diaoyutai area. After all, as long as this score is maintained until the end, Inter Milan can win the Coppa Italia.

Shi Hao sat on the bench, along with other teammates, from time to time holding his head for the missed opportunities of his team, and clenching his fists for the danger in front of the goal. From time to time, he peeked at Leonardo's face, but the young marshal seemed calm and dark-eyed.

Shi Hao sighed, feeling that he probably didn't have a chance to play in this game, or was sent on the court in the last few minutes to feel the atmosphere.

Football is round, the team that has the upper hand does not necessarily win the game, and the team that has the advantage in all aspects sometimes loses because of just a small accident.

In the 58th minute, Samuel Eto'o broke through Roma's defence with his individual ability and scored a goal from a tight angle.

The stadium was boiling, and the players on the bench rushed forward to celebrate, and Shi Hao was not left behind. With the team leading and almost nine out of ten winning the Coppa Italia, the chances of him being available have increased again.

In the 66th minute, Leonardo finally got up from the dugout and replaced Pacini with Milito. It was a counterpoint substitution who wanted to continue to be a threat to the Roma backline and not plan to defend all of them early.

In the 72nd minute, Shi Hao finally got his chance, and he came on to replace the goal-scorer Samuel Eto'o. Before coming on the pitch, Leonardo instructed him to drag a little back and do a good job of linking up between the midfielder and Milito. Leonardo was also unhappy with the chaos in the midfield.

After Shi Hao came on the court, he followed Leonardo's instructions and didn't think about being in the limelight.

He is no stranger to this role that is similar to "No. 9 and a half", and he played this position several times when he was on the Shonan University team.

But despite his deep drops, he still didn't have a chance to touch the ball. Roma were almost on the ground to make a last-ditch push, with Inter Milan's defence tightened and rarely managed to dribble the ball across the half.

Mariga and Zanetti are not very organised, Cambiaso has some organizational skills, but his defensive task is more difficult; Halja, who was pinned on by Leonardo, has still not been able to show the strength commensurate with his value, and has made frequent mistakes.

Some players are like fish in water in small teams, but after arriving at the big clubs, it is difficult to play due to complex reasons such as psychology and tactics, and Halja seems to belong to this category.

Seeing that the midfield was out of control and Inter Milan was completely in a passive position, Leonardo had to make another substitution, replacing Halgia with Motta in the 79th minute.

At this time, the Inter Milan formation became 4411, and the 4 defensive midfielders were piled up in front of the backline, Motta was responsible for the organization of the midfield, Shi Hao was responsible for the tandem of the midfield, and Milito was the single arrow.

The substitution had an immediate effect, as the whole Inter Milan team seemed to be suddenly activated when Motta came on, and although the defence was still a little tight, it was much more orderly on the counter-attack.

In the 82nd minute, Shi Hao got a good chance.

Inter Milan broke the ball at the back and handed it to Motta, who passed it back and forth several times in a row with Cambiaso, and Motta suddenly found Yuto Nagatomo who was hurtling forward with a long pass.

Yuto Nagatomo is not a player who is technically and physically, but he is physically fit and very dedicated on the court, jumping up and down whenever he has a breath, and now that the game is coming to an end, he is still resolute to step forward.

The consequence of Roma's heavy pressure is the emptiness of the backline. Yuto Nagatomo drove straight in, and when the Roma defenders finally stepped forward to press, he did not fight, but decisively handed the ball to Shi Hao, who stepped forward to answer.

Shi Hao didn't hesitate at all after receiving the ball, and immediately kicked it straight.

However, the pass was slightly off, and Milito couldn't get the angle of the shot immediately after taking the ball, so he had to slowly protect the ball and try to break through.

At this time, Shi Hao was also running quickly into the penalty area. Milito made a feint without deceiving Mex, knocking the ball near the penalty spot.

Shi Hao ran in front of the ball almost at the same time as De Rossi.

Shi Hao, who had already scored in Serie A, did not let his emotions blind him this time, he calmly sensed De Rossi's approach, grabbed a touch of the ball, and then continued to accelerate.

Due to his physical advantage, he accelerated again at close to top speed, and De Rossi couldn't keep up, leaving only young defender Burdisso and goalkeeper Doni between Shi Hao and the goal.

With De Rossi still in hot pursuit, Shi Hao didn't try to dribble again, and he didn't expect to fool the experienced De Rossi.

After catching up with the ball, Shi Hao shot directly at the goal. The shot was low and fast and went straight into the far corner.

Dhoni struggled to make a save, but just when everyone thought the goal was going to be scored, the ball showed a slight arc and grazed the far post.

No way! Shi Hao watched in amazement as the football went out of the goal. He thought he would finally score his first Coppa Italia goal, but he didn't expect to have to wait......

Although the goal was not scored, it still left the Roma backline in a cold sweat, and they no longer dared to underestimate the young Chinese youngster, and Burdisso did not leave him in the following games.

In the 84th minute, Roma pulled a goal back through Borriello. For the rest of the game, Roma were still looking for goalscoring opportunities, but the threat posed by Shi Hao and Milito to their backline kept them from giving it their all.

The score remained 1-1 until the end, and Inter Milan lifted the Coppa Italia - a consolation prize for Inter.
