Prior to the home games of the league, Inter Milan also did not have a good result in the Coppa Italia. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The first leg of the Coppa Italia quarter-finals began with Inter Milan drawing 0-0 away at Udinese.

Donny van der Meyde missed a number of chances in this campaign. In the eighth minute, Van der Meyde was brought down in the box, but the referee refused to award a penalty. After that, Van der Meyde failed to find a shot in front of goal on several occasions.

In the 79th minute, Nigerian teenager Eliaku replaced Donny van der Meyde and scored his debut for Inter Milan. Seven days later, the two sides will face off in the second leg at the Meazza Stadium.

With the Champions League exit and the slide in the league standings, Inter Milan's emphasis on the Coppa Italia has also increased, and Héctor Cooper's formation has not changed, but the personnel have been adjusted, with Emre, Cannavaro and Vieri remaining in Milan and Gamara playing at left centre-back.

The Udinese manager continued to use the conservative formation he used against Chievo, with Fava playing as a lone striker, Jankulovski and Jorgensen behind him, and most notably the return of Pizarro, the midfielder's contract extension has been resolved with the club.

But in any case, this incident is also quite demoralizing for Inter Milan, Hector Cooper is under double pressure from the fans and the hierarchy, but in a short period of time, the intensity of the game, and Inter Milan so many forwards, make it impossible for Hector Cooper to make up his mind.

Exactly use Momo? Or let Momo maintain his strength and fight to the death in the Champions League, in fact, Momo has no problem with playing, after all, there is still time for the national team competition, World Cup qualifiers and the Asian Cup, but the problem is that Héctor Cooper refused.

In the 17th round of Serie A, Roma defeated Sampdoria 3-1 at home and won the winter title with a record 42 points. Totti scored twice to finish second on the scorers chart with 11 goals.

Juventus beat Siena 4-2 at home in heavy snow and Piero scored a hat-trick. 、

Inter Milan had a disastrous week with a 1-0 defeat at home to underdogs Empoli in the league. Inter Milan's squad confirmed Héctor Cooper's pre-match talk, Vieri has been temporarily suspended, and the official reason given is that Vieri has a "muscle injury", but no one will believe that Almeida has been able to return this round after appealing and the suspension has been reduced from three games to two.

Actually, this was not Hector Cooper's intention, but after the last battle for the king, Vieri's attention increased day by day, and Vieri could not produce a satisfactory performance to the fans, so some impulsive fans made some insulting acts towards Vieri.

This is like the "change Li Tie" time in the history of the national football team, Vieri also suffered such an embarrassment, Vieri has repeatedly stated that he has no intention of the title of king, and Vieri's agent and the senior management of Inter Milan have also called on fans to look at the problem calmly.

But obviously, Vieri's inaction in two consecutive games has made the fans' patience reach the bottom line, and in such a situation, Vieri will naturally not be convinced, what does it mean, the previous credit for the recent poor performance has been wiped out?

An empty stand at the San Siro Stadium was hung with a huge banner criticizing the club. It was a lackluster game with a terrible pitch, a sluggish tempo and few chances in front of goal.

It must be explained here that the bad field of the San Siro Stadium is really not Inter Milan's pot, mainly because Inter Milan and AC Milan share the same home stadium, and in the case of frequent games, it is naturally quite difficult to maintain.

Vieri didn't even sit on the bench in this game, but will Inter Milan's offensive improve? In fact, as far as Momo is concerned, Hector Cooper is really not talented in offense, and the setting for Momo is free to play.

And because of Momo's imagination and positioning, he has always been able to find the most suitable opportunity to shoot, but the other Inter Milan players are different, they need detailed instructions from the manager, but the manager does not clearly tell them what to do.

In the opening stages, the game was quite boring, and it wasn't until the 12th minute that Inter Milan had a good chance.

Van der Meyde drew a defender to cross from the left, and Almeida passed to his teammate Cruise, who stopped the ball from 8 meters in front of the goal and shot, but the ball rubbed lightly against the opposing defender. Empoli also had chances to score, with Toldo getting off the back of his hands when he met Rocchi's shot and Di Natale fired wide.

Empoli's Di Natale is a hugely underrated player even in later generations, and he will be a key player in Empoli's victory in this game.

As the game progressed, Inter Milan gradually increased the pressure on Empoli, after all, it was on their home turf, and Inter Milan still hoped to achieve victory.

In the 24th minute, Emre combined a clever one-two with Cruise, but his diagonal shot went wide of the left post. After that, Empoli made a mistake in clearing, Zanetti's shot was blocked, and Van der Meyde's follow-up shot was saved by the goalkeeper.

At this time, the Inter Milan fans in the stands couldn't help but start to get restless, and the ability to seize the opportunity was really uncomfortable! As long as you can grasp one opportunity and hit one shot, Inter Milan will be able to take the lead!

Inter Milan fans began to miss Momo so much that they began to chant Momo's name on the sidelines, but Momo didn't even make the substitute list, so how could he have the opportunity to play?

In the 51st minute, Almeida crossed from the right, and the unmarked Martins successfully countered offside, but the ball was deflected. In the 53rd minute, Cruise crossed from the right, and Martins headed the ball high again. After that, Emre's furious shot from outside the box went out of the post, startling goalkeeper Butch into a cold sweat.

In the 62nd minute, Emre was judged to have committed a foul for a tackle on Vannuci, and he received a yellow card to referee Paparestati, and the Turk continued to pester, blowing his beard and glaring at the referee, and was finally sent off.

Like Almeida, Emre's bad temper hurt Inter, with Zaector Cooper bringing on Brecchet for Adani and Farinos for Van der Meyde. Empoli's confidence was boosted by more and less, and Di Natale's two attacks were obliterated by suspicious offside decisions. After that, his volley from a tight angle slid wide of the far post.

Some Inter fans began to leave the stadium early to express their protest.

In the 84th minute, Di Natale burst into the left side of the penalty area and hit the crossbar with a right-footed shot from 16 meters in front of the goal, but Inter did not escape the catastrophe. In stoppage time, Brecchet saved when he blocked Tavano on the left flank, and Tavano crossed the ball diagonally into the box and Rocchi fired a left-footed shot into the far corner from seven yards out. It was a historic victory, with Empoli having never picked up a point away from Inter before.

After the game, the Inter fans began to protest in a big way, they couldn't believe that this was the Inter they loved to support, but if they could compare it to the Inter Milan who had not even played the Champions League group stage in their history, then they might be satisfied.
