After playing the final game of Serie A, the time has also entered June. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the leagues of various European countries have basically entered a break. But Italy have one last big game left for the season!

That's the Coppa Italia final between Inter Milan and Roma!

While everyone else was already on holiday, the Italian league had just come to an end, and the cup was not over yet. This has also made the Serie A schedule this season the target of ridicule in the European media.

In addition to the schedule, the format of the Coppa Italia, a traditional Italian event, has also been criticized.

The Coppa Italia still maintains the tradition of playing two legs home and away to determine the winner.

This kind of format is very rare in modern football.

And as the competition becomes more and more onerous and the schedule becomes more and more intensive, such a two-legged final of home and away has also become a burden for the final team.

There have been many protests from clubs and the media before. But the Italian Football Federation refused on the grounds that it was a good tradition.

This time, due to problems with the Football Association and inappropriate scheduling, Inter Milan, who reached the Champions League final, still had to face the pressure of third-tier battles before and after the Champions League final, which made the outside world's dissatisfaction with this format reach a new climax.

Chen Xi and his teammates also said in interviews that the Italian Cup final adopted a two-legged system of home and away, which seriously increased their burden.

Mourinho also bluntly said that the final adopts a two-legged system of home and away, which seriously affects the charm of the final!

On the other side of the final, Roma had the same attitude.

Prince Totti of Rome said that making the Coppa Italia final a single match will effectively increase the attention of the Coppa Italia final.

…… In response to the doubts from the outside world, the Italian Football Federation could only hold a press conference to say that it would consider reforming the format of the Italian Cup.

Of course, they also said it, just for consideration.

And, if it were to be reformed, it would certainly not be this season. Therefore, the next two legs of the Coppa Italia final are still imperative!

In the schedule of this final, Inter Milan drew a favorable draw for the away team and then the host.

In the eyes of Inter Milan fans, what they value more than the advantage that the team will bring to the team at home is that the team will be able to lift the Coppa Italia at home!

Yes, after a season of crazy performances, Inter fans have developed absolute confidence in the team.

In their eyes, the Roma team, which was beaten by Inter Milan in the league, obviously could not prevent Inter Milan from lifting the third championship trophy of the season and achieving the hegemony of the treble!

Roma, for their part, also showed their need to win the Coppa Italia.

In their opinion, they have the advantage of having to rest during this period and have more opportunities to rest than Inter Milan. There is an absolute advantage in physical fitness!

Indeed, due to poor performances in the first half of the season, Roma were stretched far away by Group 1 and not only failed to qualify for the Champions League, but also failed to qualify for the UEFA Cup.

Of course, since Inter Milan are league champions, they automatically qualify for the UEFA Cup by reaching the Coppa Italia final.

Even so, if Delneri can't lead Roma to win the Coppa Italia, most of the way awaits him!

In fact, before the league ended, the media was already hyping the news of Roma and Udinese coach Spalletti.

Perhaps feeling the pressure in this regard, Del Neri, who is usually not high-profile, also said before this Italian Cup final that he would go all out to win and strive to help the Roma team bring a championship!

Totti also expressed his support for Del Neri before the game. Although the flag of the team, Totti has already learned from the club's hierarchy that Spalletti will be in charge of Roma next season. But before such an important final, he naturally still has to support the coach, so as to stabilize the morale of the army.

…… Although Roma showed confidence and determination, in the media's pre-match predictions and analysis, everyone was almost one-sided in favor of Inter Milan.

Even when predicting the final of these two legs, "Roma Sport" said that it will be very difficult for Roma to prevent Inter Milan from becoming treble!

In the midst of such a promising eye, the Inter Milan team rushed to Rome the day before the game.

Due to a season, it is necessary to come to Roma at least twice in the league to play. So Chen Xi and his teammates are no strangers to this city.

The home-and-away two-legged final against Roma is Inter's last two games of the season, and Jose Mourinho will clearly not hold anything back.

The Portuguese said in an interview that if he could, he would like to be able to seal the win in the first leg and seal the Coppa Italia title early!

Mourinho's arrogance has clearly angered Roma fans as well.

On the night before the game, a large number of Roma fans gathered downstairs in the hotel where the Inter Milan team was in. They created a loud decibel noise downstairs in the hope of disrupting Inter Milan's rest.

Their approach was not without effect, at least Chen Xi had some difficulty sleeping at night alone.

The Inter Milan club has also sent people to the hotel to protest on several occasions, but the hotel has also said that there is nothing they can do about the fans' actions.

In fact, it's not so much that they are powerless, but that they turn a blind eye!

Also turning a blind eye are the Roman police.

They had received calls from Inter Milan and some of the hotel's other customers. But after they arrived, they just politely invited these fans away. But after they left, the fans popped up again.

In this way, Chen Xi finally fell asleep with large earplugs.

As for a few of his teammates who were nervous, they simply couldn't sleep all night.

The next morning, when the team gathered for breakfast, what Chen Xi saw was clearly a group of pandas.

Jose Mourinho didn't get a good night's sleep either. Unable to sleep, he simply summoned his assistants and perfected his tactical arrangements for Rome almost overnight.

At his regular press conference before the game, Mourinho expressed his displeasure with the Roma fans' approach.

"In them I don't see the quality of being a fan in the capital. It's like seeing a group of extreme football hooligans. What they did didn't just affect our team's rest. It even disturbed the customers of the entire hotel. This is simply discrediting the image of the cosmopolitan city of Rome, the capital of Italy! Mourinho's on-the-line criticism also made Roma fans the target of criticism in the Italian media before the game.

Even the Football Association had to come out to warn the Roma club, signaling them to restrain their fans.

It's just that it's all an afterthought. Because their impact on the Inter Milan team has already been formed.

The players of the Inter Milan team had to come back to sleep after breakfast. This obviously had a big impact on their form in the evening!

In his final training session before the game, Mourinho only rehearsed a few tactics against Roma. Just let the players rest.

On the evening of June 3, at half past eight, the first leg of the Coppa Italia final will officially start at the Olympic Stadium in Rome!

As Mourinho feared another accident before the game, Inter Milan arrived at the Olympic Stadium in Rome almost half an hour earlier than usual.

Fortunately, the Roma club did not make the same over-the-top moves as their fans.

After the players returned from warm-up, Mourinho also gave a final lecture.

"I know you didn't get a good night's rest last night. Me too, I and a couple of members of the coaching staff simply didn't sleep all night. I have to say that the intrigue of the Roma fans ...... Got it! But, I believe, they did it precisely to prove their fear of us. They are worried that their team will not be able to beat us under normal circumstances. That's why they want to disturb us outside the stadium! Mourinho said with some righteous indignation.

Jose Mourinho's words also resonated with the players. At the same time, it also provoked the anger of the players.

"They probably thought we wouldn't have been able to win this game without a good night's rest! So, in the next games, I'd like to see you guys prove with your performances how stupid they were last night! Tell them by your actions that what they did did not affect our strength, but only angered us! And, let them experience the consequences of angering us! 'Mourinho saw the performance of his players and knew that his mental tactics had worked. So he hit the railroad while it was hot!

After hearing Mourinho's words, the atmosphere in the dressing room immediately became enthusiastic!

"That's right! Even if we didn't get a good night's sleep last night, we still have to win this game! ”

"Yes, let the Romans know what a stupid thing to provoke us!"

"Victory! We want to win! We want the Triple Crown! ”

…… Chen Xi and his teammates said excitedly one by one, and the fatigue of not sleeping well last night seemed to have dissipated a lot.

Mourinho smiled with satisfaction and continued: "All right! The race is about to begin! Get on the pitch and shut up the noisy Romans with your goals! ”

"Shut up the noisy Romans!" Under the leadership of captain Zanetti, Chen Xi and his teammates raised their arms and shouted in unison, and then rushed out of the locker room directly!
