Because in three days there will be an even more important match waiting for them, and that is ...... Italian National Derby!

A week earlier, the Spanish national derby had just been staged between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Compared with the Spanish national derby, which is known as the "derby of the century", the Italian national derby is relatively less famous and influential.

At the same time, with the instability of Inter Milan's record in recent years, it is widely believed that the match between Juventus and Inter Milan is called the Italian national derby, which is somewhat unworthy of the name.

After all, in terms of honors and results in recent years, Juventus and AC Milan are the two best teams in Italy.

In fact, the Italian derby was born in the 60s of the last century, when Inter Milan and Juventus basically dominated the Serie A championship of that era. And neither team has been relegated, and they are the oldest qualified club in Serie A with the most titles.

A generation of heroes, Gianni Agnelli and Moratti Sr., together created the prosperous era of Juventus and Inter. After entering the 90s, Berlusconi's AC Milan burst onto the horizon, Capello and Lippi monopolized the Serie A title several times, and Inter Milan was reduced to a black hole under the leadership of Moratti Jr.

Therefore, compared with the big battle between AC Milan and Juventus, the appeal of the Italian derby has decreased.

But this season, the Italian national derby has been given a new layer of significance.

This summer, Inter Milan and Juventus are the teams with the most investment in the Serie A transfer market, especially Inter Milan, who signed the Ballon d'Or Chen Xi for the world's most valuable transfer fee, and the best value among defenders brought Carvalho, the best central defender in Europe last season, and even Mourinho, the best young coach in recent seasons, to Meazza.

Not to be outdone, Juventus poached Italian gold medal coach Fabio Capello from Rome. Capello also brought a great player to the Bianconeri. In addition, the Swedish center forward Ibrahimovic, who shone in the European Championship, was also bought.

The performances of both teams in the new season are also worthy of the high cost of the summer.

Inter Milan have won a record-breaking twelve consecutive league games in the first twelve rounds of the league. Juventus, on the other hand, were on their toes with an unbeaten record, losing the first game of the season in the first two rounds.

Although only a third of the league has passed, it has basically established the two-way transfer of Inter Milan and Juventus in the Serie A standings.

And, since the gap between Juventus and Inter Milan has widened to five points, this national derby has also reached the point where Juventus has to win!

This can be said to be one of the few national derbies in recent years that will be directly related to the league championship!

For such an important game, the Italian media also set their sights on the weekend after the Champions League in midweek.

Before the game, the media also made a special trip to summarize some "grievances" between the two teams, so as to build momentum for this game.

Although AC Milan is Inter Milan's sworn enemy in the same city, there are far fewer grievances off the field than there are in the Milan derby.

First of all, in the transfer market, the two teams have had many feuds.

Among them, Stankovic, who now plays for Inter, has caused a huge conflict between the two teams.

The Serbian black man had signed a contract with Moghi last summer, but as a result, he was poached to Inter Milan by Moratti in the winter with double salary, and the conflict between Juventus and Inter Milan suddenly became public, and Moggi even did not hesitate to suffer a fine, shaking out the agreement he had initialed with Stankovic before, so that the Serbian black man could not play on behalf of Inter Milan due to a ban, but at the last minute of the hearing, Moggi changed his mind and said that the illness did not arrive, so that the final trouble was not broken.

In addition to the Stankovic incident, it is not uncommon for two teams to look at the same player in recent years, such as Zivo in the past, Zebina and Emerson later, and now Jankulovski, but in these battles, Inter Milan rarely defeated Juventus, and Zivo eventually went to Rome because Juventus chose Lerotalje; Because of Capello's relationship, Zebina and Emerson have both joined the Bianconeri...... Some of these conflicts may be due to demand, but some are motivated by vindictiveness.

In addition to the transfer issue, the hot derby between the two teams last season was also brought up by the media.

Inter Milan had a poor overall league run last season, but it was a double against Juventus in two national derby. As it turned out later, it was the six points that Inter Milan made Juventus lose that made the Bianconeri miss the chance to win the league three times in a row! At the end of the season, they are exactly five points behind champions AC Milan!

Therefore, the Juventus people are also desperate to avenge last season's double in this season's national derby!

In addition, the three players exchanged between the two sides this summer are also the focus of this match.

In the summer, Inter Milan are interested in selling Cannavaro, who has underperformed in the team, while Juventus are interested in moving to the Alpi Stadium.

Inter Milan took the opportunity to raise interest in Juventus left-back Zambrotta.

After some haggling, Inter traded Cannavaro and Caragunis for Zambrotta.

Although Cannavaro and Zambrotta have performed well after switching clubs, and there is not much opinion on this deal, they have attracted the attention of the media and fans when they face their old owners again.

Cannavaro said in an interview: "Choosing to come to Juventus this summer is definitely the right choice. Because here I found the feeling I had when I played in Parma. I have no grudges against Inter, but in this national derby I will try to help the team fend off their powerful attack! ”

Zambrotta, on the other hand, was confident: "I didn't think I'd leave Juventus before this summer. But the reality was that I was caught up in a deal. Happily, I came to Inter Milan, a great team, and I quickly settled into the team, with the best owners, the best coaches and some great team-mates. We've won all of our games so far this season, and we're going to try to extend our winning streak in this national derby!

In addition to these two players, the coaches of both teams were also in the spotlight before the game.

Capello, as an iron-fisted coach, has a bit of an Italian Ferguson feel. In Serie A for so many years, he has been involved in many war of words.

Whether it is the veteran silver fox Lippi, or the opponent of the Roman derby, the young Mancini, they were once Capello's "mouth losers"!

As for Mourinho, this crazy man with a full surname has never been afraid of anyone.

Since entering Serie A, he has put on a posture of "God first, Lao Tzu second". This surname also made him the target of the conservative Serie A!

Before the game, under the instigation of the media, the two quickly sparked a war of words.

"Too young, inexperienced!" This is Capello's simple and direct assessment of Italian derby rival Jose Mourinho.

'Fabio Capello is a great coach. I remember when he was in his early forties he led AC Milan to a 58-game unbeaten run and built the Milan dynasty. But his grades seem to be getting older and getting more and more back! "Mourinho came first and then down, and hit back at Capello's evaluation!

"I think some people get a little carried away because of a little bit of achievement!" Capello shot back.

"No, it's only 12 consecutive league wins. I've been working hard to expand this record! Mourinho is clearly saying that he wants to win the national derby at the weekend and extend his winning streak.

"When I led the team to the championship, he was just a translator!" Capello has started to make a fuss about Mourinho's origins again.

"Oh, I forgot that he was a great player. Maybe what I can do with football, he can do with oranges. How many goals do you think he will score in this weekend's national derby? Mourinho said with an exaggerated expression. The implication is obvious, you used to be a good player, but now you're just an old man, what's the use of mentioning past achievements, can you still play for the team now?

"Hmph, I hope after the battle of Meacha, he will still be able to be so arrogant!" Capello's mouth was obviously not as poisonous as Mourinho's, and in the end he chose to put down the harsh words.

"I can't wait to see the legendary experience at the Meazza Stadium! Hopefully this thing won't overwhelm me! Mourinho also shot back unceremoniously.

The confrontation between the two surnamed Gejiao also made fans and the media addicted.

Everyone's expectations for this game are also stronger!

The match was played in Meazza and although there were still two days to go, tickets were sold out early.

Although Capello said before the game that he would teach Inter Milan a good lesson at the weekend, Juventus have not tasted victory in the last four meetings between the two teams in Meazza.

It's just that in the overall head-to-head record in Serie A, Juventus has the advantage. The two teams have played a total of 144 games in the history of Serie A, with Juventus winning 68, drawing 35 and losing 41, scoring 211 goals and conceding 175 goals!

However, the Inter Milan team has a record at home, with 32 wins, 23 draws and 17 losses, scoring 118 goals and conceding 78 goals, taking the advantage!

In addition to the comparison of historical records, the media is also talking about the comparison of the lineups of the two teams.

Up front, both teams boast a number of world-class strikers.

Juventus' forward line consisting of Piero, Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic has scored second only to Inter Milan's forward combination in terms of goals this season, and it is also a beautiful match!

But Inter Milan's forward line is the most terrifying presence in the entire European football this season!

Therefore, in this aspect of the comparison, the Inter Milan team occupies a certain advantage.

However, in midfield, the Juventus midfielder, led by Nedved, quickly moved back to Issei.

Nedved is the best midfielder in Serie A in recent years, and Camoranesi has also firmly occupied the position of the main midfielder of the Italian national team in recent years.

Emerson is a barrier for Juventus' midfield defence!

Relatively speaking, the midfielders of the Inter Milan team are also strong players. Neither offensively nor defensively, but again, they lack imagination.

There is also a lack of such an absolute midfield core as Nedved.

Therefore, in terms of midfield, Inter Milan suffered a little.

The competition at the back is fierce!

Materazzi and Cannavaro are the two main centre-backs of the Italian national team, while Carvalho and Thuram are the top defenders of European football.

Juventus' advantage is that Cannavaro and Thuram were partners during their time at Parma, and the two have a very good chemistry.

Inter Milan's centre-back partnership has just been formed this season and has not yet fully developed chemistry with each other.

But in the wing-back position, Inter Milan has a slight advantage. The right-to-left configuration of Zanetti and Zambrotta is top-notch in both Serie A and world football.

In comparison, after losing Zambrotta, Juventus are relatively weak on the wings.

In the end, in the competition of goalkeepers, the Juventus team has the advantage!

Gianluigi Buffon is recognized as the number one goalkeeper in world football today!

And Toldo was only a substitute for Buffon when he was in the national team, and it was only by seizing the opportunity of Buffon's injury that he became famous at Euro 2000.

However, with the return of Buffon, this magical goalkeeper can only retreat to the position of No. 2 goalkeeper. Now he has faded out of the national team as he gets older.

In this comparison, Inter Milan have a certain advantage in attack, but Juventus can make up for it defensively.

In fact, it's a reflection of how both teams have performed this season.

Inter Milan are the team with the most goals in Serie A this season, while Juventus have shown a unique consistency at the back, conceding the fewest goals in Serie A!

In this way, this Italian national derby has once again become a direct dialogue between the sharpest spear and the strongest shield!

With so much to watch, fans are undoubtedly looking forward to this game more and more
