Inter beat AC Milan 3-0 to return to the Coppa Italia final after a gap of 11 years.
After the game, the TV station focused on the scene of Inter's passionate celebration, Milan players hanging their heads, and Chinese and foreign TV commentators pointed out that the influence of this battle is not limited to the cup, the impact on the morale of both sides may affect the subsequent league.
There is a scene that is worth emphasizing.
In the 82nd minute of the match, Gosons scored to give Inter a 3-0 lead. Little Inzaghi jumped around the sidelines, smiling happily, and in the context of the Silence of Milan fans and the waves of people set off by Inter fans, at this moment, the suspense of the game was completely killed.
Why is Little Inzaghi so out of shape?
It's not just that the goal allowed Inter to survive the thrilling moment of passive, almost conceding the ball.
It's not just that new signing Gossens finally used his debut ball to officially join the battle sequence.
It is even more because Inter used this perfect assassination of careful layout and precise planning to make a perfect and painful revenge on the failure of the derby 2 months ago.
Attentive people notice what happened during intermission.
At that time, AC Milan coach Pioli chose to make substitutions, sending Dias and Messias, replacing Tonali and Salemakles, and returning Casey, who cameo in the front of the first half, to strengthen the attack.
This is the so-called "30+10 miracle" that has been praised by some AC Milan fans and some Italian media reporters for months.
This is also two months ago, when AC Milan reversed Inter 2-1, the effective means of backhand adjustment - that derby, Inter dominated in the first half, and after Milan replaced the No. 30 and No. 10 in the second half, Milan attacked and played twice, helping the team reverse the victory.
Inter then slumped for two months and nearly messed up the entire season.
In this battle, when Milan adjusted, Inzaghi Jr. responded, he shouted "Marcelo" on the sidelines, called the Croatian midfielder to the sidelines, and taught the opportunity in person. Apparently, from midfield, the Inter manager gave instructions. AC Milan has a poor defensive midfielder and Brozovic will have room. Here's the voiceover: Think of a way, him!
In this battle, the best player, Brozovic's role, is obviously not lower than that of Lautaro. Inter's second goal was orchestrated by him before being kicked down, but Inzaghi Jr. expected more than B Ronaldo.
So, in the 82nd minute, inzaghi Jr.'s long-awaited "perfect assassination" was staged gorgeously.
At that time, the Inter midfielder held the ball, Brozovic inserted at high speed, AC Milan's technical midfielder defense awareness was not good, the staring was not tight, and although it was fully pursued after finding the momentum wrong, it was also powerless to prevent Inter's No. 77 from tearing and assisting.
For the manager, the goal break is already a great joy, and it is even more gratifying to use the assassination methods that have been planned for a long time to break the game.
The defeat in the Milan derby in February left Inter with wounds that lasted for months. In particular, Little Inzaghi's own mentality is a bit chaotic because of defeat and pressure.
Today, Milan boss Pioli once again used the same trick to try to reverse again, but he did not expect that the opponent had expected and had already waited for the net. Little Inzaghi gave a perfect counterattack in a preset way, so revenge, can be described as a shame and a good spirit.
After the game, Inzaghi Jr. made it clear that Inter should work together to win the battle regardless of the cost and loss.
Not just for the trophy, for more than a decade of record, for the pride and self-esteem of the giants.
It is also because wherever you fall you must get up.
Little Inzaghi is a "growing manager", he is not perfect, but he is talented, very diligent, has the ability to learn and the desire to learn, but there are great shortcomings in terms of stress resistance and emotional control.
How to progress? Overcoming demons in this way will undoubtedly help.
In the short term, the victory will help Inter continue to boost morale and help Inzaghi Jr. to cope more calmly with the rest of the season.
In the next month or so, Inter will be very tough. In this battle, Bastoni and others fought until cramps, Inter ran 4 kilometers more than their opponents, and will face Mourinho at the weekend, and their physical condition is worrying. There is another midweek double before the end of the league (the cup final is scheduled for Wednesday 11 May, between rounds 36 and 37), and it is likely to be an Italian derby, which is extremely difficult... It can be said that from now until the end of the season, the field is a life and death battle.
Inter's prospects will also be very treacherous in the coming years. Poor finances, living within your means and even selling high and buying low will become the norm. Juve are rich, Milan may also usher in strong shareholders, Mourinho, Spalletti, Gasperini and others are not good, the next few years Inter is definitely a difficult road ahead.
What should Inter do on this premise? There is no money in his pocket, and he still insists on inviting the kind of "local tycoon adaptation champion coach" who has a high level and a high budget? It's like a working-class person who can't survive without luxury cars and gold-worshiping beauties, forcing himself to go to the roof.
Choosing to work with a coach who is imperfect as Inzaghi Jr., who has the potential to improve and is willing to work with the team to overcome difficulties, is a more pragmatic choice.
Inter certainly expect the young coach to continue to improve. But it takes a little more tolerance and patience.
After this war, I believe that there will be more people, and have the courage to expect more from little Inzaghi.
