Rome, Italy, the capital of Italy and the birthplace of the Roman Empire, the city known as the "Eternal City" welcomed the final of the Coppa Italia in the summer of '06.

At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, the Nerazzurri Lions stepped onto the arena amid the tornado cheers of Inter Milan fans.

Their opponent is the former king of the Apennines, the old woman Juventus.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and although Juventus is no longer brilliant on the Apennine stage, this powerful team is still not to be taken lightly.

It was a match in the countdown to the curtain call for Juventus in the Capello era, and ahead of this final, Capello had already held a press conference that Capello would resign as Juventus manager in the summer, regardless of the outcome of the final.

However, before leaving, Capello definitely hopes to beat Arguably the strongest team of the era, Inter Milan.

Today's Inter Milan has ushered in the second of the great international era, and with Leon Will at the core, they are in their heyday.

Of course, Inter Milan will need a treble to be crowned in the truest sense of the word before they can start the big international era two, and Juventus are the opponents they will have to beat on their way to the treble.

...... "Leon, I always think Juventus is not good, when Piero shook hands with me just now, I thought he was murderous. There were about a few minutes left before the start of this final, the players of the two teams had already shaken hands and stood back in their positions, Zanetti had already gone to pick a side with the zebra prince Piero, and at this time, Leon's partner Cambiaso also frowned and said to Leon with some concern.

"Those who come are not good, those who are good are not coming, this is the final, Mancho's prediction is correct, Juventus must have put all their energy into this final, don't be careless, we can't mess with ourselves." Leon patted Cambiaso's shoulder and said in relief.

Camby's expression was still a little anxious, and Leon could only be helpless about it, it is estimated that Camby's hair fell out because of this!

…… The referee of this final is Gasparti from Sicily, this is an experienced veteran referee, he will announce his retirement next year, Leon asked Mendest to find Gasparti's coaching file before the game, after all, the referee from Sicily, his background is still very suspicious.

However, León was surprised that Juventus lost all nine matches under Gasparti's enforcement.

This is a referee who enforces the law more leniently, and he often encourages the players of the two teams to have normal physical collisions, so in the games he enforces, there will be a lot of scenes of people turning their backs.

However, what surprised Leon even more was that few players dared to question his decision in the game when Gasparti was in charge, which shows that although his whistle is relatively loose, it is loose for both teams, and he will not deliberately find a balance.

According to Leon's understanding, Juventus must find face in the Coppa Italia final, and the best way to get back face is undoubtedly to rely on the referee.

But Juventus didn't, and Gasparti was bad for Juventus in every way.

Could it be that the phonegate incident in the previous life would not have broken out?

With all kinds of speculation, as the eyes of the old referee Gasparti twitched, the whistle flickered, and the game began!

Juventus won the kick-off and as soon as the game started, Juventus showed a completely different mentality than they had in the previous game.

Nedved and Piero kicked off and the ball found its way to Emerson, who shifted the ball to Patrick Vieira, who had already advanced from the middle.

Vieira took the ball with a shake of his ankle and deceived the Inter Milan player Cambiaso who grabbed the ball and then took three steps forward, after seeing Leon step forward to make up for the defense, Vieira also made a long pass to transfer the ball to the right side, Juventus's winger Camoranesi stepped forward to grab the ball before Inter captain Zanetti stealed, and stopped the ball with his chest past Zanetti's bottom cross - Inter Milan's penalty area, Cannavaro and Samuel were tested, and Ibrahimovic at the front point rubbed his header, However, his header was a little off the beaten back under Samuel's interference, but Trezeguet still hooked the ball with his legs that were longer than the model, but fortunately Cesar on the goal line reacted in time, otherwise the big international would have started the game with a trailing match.

Corner, Juventus won the opening corner.

For various reasons, only a few thousand Juventus fans came to Rome today, but after seeing the huge contrast between the team's mental state and the previous game, the boos of the Bianconeri fans instantly turned into applause.

In fact, for the fans, they really don't want much.

"Camby, don't stay put, go see Vieira, Cana, you go and stand in front of the goal, Samu, hurry up, Ibrahimovic has already run behind you......" Leon helped Cesar adjust the team's corner kick defense, and Juventus today is completely different from Juventus in the last game.

It can be said that this is a real Serie A team.

Juventus' first corner was headed clear by a well-positioned Samuel and Nedved's long-range shot from the edge was blocked by Inter Milan without much of a threat.

Inter Milan counterattacked, but unlike Juventus who did not resist at all, Leon, who counterattacked with the ball, was pulled down by Vieira before he could jump past the midfield.

Damn tactical fouls! Leon spat and stood up from the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, "It looks like our opponent has really changed from a cat to a tiger, but the stronger you are, the greater we are." ”

The corners of Leon's mouth drew an eerie arc.

The game continued, and the referee Gasparti was really relaxed, and the old referee had no intention of playing cards at all, but instead urged Inter Milan to hurry up and take a corner kick.

No wonder this guy always has so many goals in Serie A in the games he enforces, the pace of the game is fast, the game is exciting, and there will naturally be a lot of goals.

In a sense, Gasparti is indeed a golden whistle.

…… In the first ten minutes, Inter didn't get much of a chance, as the Juventus players limited him with fouls and packs whenever León got the ball.

Italians' brains are very turning, the football of this country and their performance on the battlefield are very different, the Italians are fierce on the field, defense is the philosophy of this country, and the art of defense has penetrated into the brains of every coach and player in this country.

Gasparti's whistle is very loose, and the Juventus players are also controlling their movements, anyway, it is very simple to pull you down, or gently push you down.

You know, when a player is dribbling the ball at high speed, a foul that is not obvious can interfere with him.

León are facing the tightest defence of his career, and Capello clearly understands that in order to limit Inter, he must first limit their core, Leon.

Inter Milan's attack was problematic, but fortunately their defence was solid, and Juventus' attack, although fierce, could not threaten Inter's door beyond the opening attack.

The two teams engaged in a complete battle in midfield, with neither side willing to give up their stronghold.

Juventus have two world-class midfielders, Vieira and Emerson, while Inter Milan have Cambiasso and Leonwill.

"Capello is definitely going to procrastinate...... Damn it. Leon frowned, he glanced at Capello who was standing on the edge of the Juventus bench, is this guy going to use his physical strength to drag down Inter Milan?

Leon glanced at Figo in the front court with some concern, in this kind of tug-of-war, the veteran Figo is undoubtedly the weakest link of Inter Milan, you must know that these guys in the front court of Juventus, Camoranesi and Nedved are iron men who can't run to death, Juventus finally came up with their classic tactic - drag you to death.

In fact, many of Juventus' league victories have been won by this trick, and Juventus's stability is due to their invisible tactics.

Anyway, from the perspective of the field, the two sides are absolutely evenly matched, but as soon as the kick is in the back, Juventus will always suddenly exert force, but inexplicably pull away the score.

Such tactics are almost invincible in the league, but not in the cup, because the cup is occasionally big, unlike the league. However, everyone knows the bottom line of today's final, and it is actually no different from the league, so Capello sacrificed this killer feature, intending to drag Inter Milan down directly.

"No, we have to fight quickly, otherwise we will be the first to collapse." Leon thought to himself.

But how do you get the pace up? Leon has faced arguably the biggest problem of his career.

...... "Robert, it looks like Juventus are determined to win this final." Sky Italia, commentator Palmertri also said.

"Well, that's right, after all, they were the kings of Italy, as a big team, Juventus will not sit back and wait for the shame they have suffered, I think Juventus's recent stay is because they put all their spirit in this Coppa Italia final, for Inter Milan, if they can't find a quick way to win, Juventus' advantage will grow over time." Baggio commented.

"But Juventus are avoiding the game now, they put the decisive battle in midfield, León has been limited, Inter need another man to drive the rhythm." Palmertree nodded.

In a single-core team, the play of role players is very crucial, and Baggio also circled a person's name in his little book.
