339: There is really no need for the Italian Cup to exist.
Of course, when AC Milan and Juventus are fighting each other to death, Inter Milan won't keep you idle.
Inter Milan is also going to fight Naples to the death.
After all, Inter Milan has also advanced to the semi-finals of the Italian Cup, and their opponent Napoli is not a soft persimmon!
More importantly, Napoli's current performance in the league is very poor. They are only ranked 11th in the league, and there is almost no possibility of qualifying for the Champions League. They can't even qualify for the Europa League.
Therefore, the only possibility for Naples to qualify for the European competition is the Italian Cup champion!
Of course, it’s okay not to win the championship, at least to advance to the cup finals.
Because, except for Naples, the other three teams that have advanced to the semi-finals of the Italian Cup are currently the top three teams in Serie A. There is a high probability that these three teams will qualify for the Champions League next season, at least.
Qualify for the Europa League!
Therefore, no matter who of these three teams advances to the Coppa Italia finals, they will not take away the European qualification for the Coppa Italia.
As long as Naples reaches the final, they will be able to qualify.
After all, the Coppa Italia champion qualifies for the Champions League, and the European Cup qualification for the Coppa Italia must be given to the runner-up. If the runner-up is also qualified, it will be given to the seventh-placed team in Serie A.
Therefore, at this time, the top four in Serie A cannot ensure that Naples will qualify for the European competition next season!
If Naples wants to qualify for the European competition next season, it must defeat Inter Milan and advance to the final.
The league is now hopeless, and Naples has pinned its hopes on the Italian Cup early on.
Therefore, they performed very well in the Italian Cup and advanced to the semi-finals.
Now they can even put all their energy and forces into the Coppa Italia without thinking about the league. But Inter Milan is obviously not able to do that, and Inter Milan is still distracted by the league!
After all, Inter Milan is currently competing for the Serie A championship at a critical moment, and compared to the Italian Cup, Serie A is the most important to them.
Therefore, Inter Milan is very likely to give up the Italian Cup for the sake of the league.
In this game, Inter Milan is very likely to lose.
But Inter Milan is not willing to lose so easily. After all, losing will have a great impact on morale, and may even attract a lot of public opinion. In that case, it will be very difficult for Inter Milan to compete for the league title.
There is very big trouble.
In this game, Inter Milan will go all out to compete with Naples.
Now it depends on how Conte chooses?
At this time, Conte accepted an interview with media reporters. He said, "The Italian Cup and the league are equally important. We will not give up any game. Victory is a must for us. This proves that we
We have the confidence to win the championship. So we will definitely go all out to win this game.
Profitable!"
The fans of Inter Milan were naturally very happy to hear such words, and they supported Conte and encouraged the players of Inter Milan.
When Naples head coach Gattuso said in an interview, "I can't control what the Inter Milan people think, and I don't need to care about it. Because we at Naples have no escape route, we must qualify for the European competition. Pass
We are definitely out of luck in the league, and the Coppa Italia is our last hope! All our focus at Naples is on the Coppa Italia, so you don’t have to ask me about this game, we will definitely try our best!”
Yes, everyone understands that the Naples people have no choice, they are now fighting with their last resort!
This game should be a match between Mars and the Earth!
Yes, media reporters are more worried about Inter Milan at this time.
After all, Naples really has no reason to give up!
Many people even claim that perhaps because of this Inter Milan is very likely to give up the Italian Cup and go all out to fight for the league championship!
This situation is very possible!
After all, if Inter Milan suffers any extensive injuries during their stalemate with Naples, it will affect not only the Italian Cup, but even Serie A, and their efforts throughout the season may be in vain.
Therefore, many media reporters believe that Inter Milan is likely to give up this game.
What Conte said before the game was all lies!
Conte now definitely hopes that Juventus and AC Milan will fight to the death, hoping that they will both lose.
Everyone thinks so.
The media reporters still went to interview Juventus head coach Sarri, who said: "Obviously we will not give up the Italian Cup easily. But you have to know that our main goals are still the league championship and the Champions League championship.
.So, we will definitely...well, you know it even if I don’t tell you!"
Upon hearing this, many people widened their eyes and expressed disbelief.
What does Sarri mean? Did he give up the Italian Cup directly? Let AC Milan win?
Sarri, you are Juventus!
However, some media reporters and fans think that there is nothing wrong with Sarri's choice. At present, Juventus's main goals are still the league championship and the Champions League championship. Allegri was fired because he failed to win the Champions League championship. Juventus
Tus's goal in bringing Sarri was also to win the Champions League.
For this reason, they are very likely to give up the Italian Cup!
There is nothing wrong with Sarri saying this at the moment!
But these words made Conte and Inter Milan fans very dissatisfied.
It's funny, they really hope that Juventus and AC Milan will fight to the end, and it's best for both sides to suffer losses. Now what do you mean by Sarri saying that?
Inter Milan fans immediately went crazy, hoping to incite Juventus fans and players to make Juventus fight AC Milan. But so far, the effect does not seem to be very satisfactory. Juventus fans
There is actually some support for Sarri here. Their goal is the league championship and the Champions League championship!
What's more important is that Juventus is only ranked third in the league. This league is very dangerous.
They should focus more on the league.
They expressed support for Sarri's choice.
This made the Inter Milan fans very unhappy. They cursed the Juventus people crazily and provoked the Juventus people!
Of course, at this time, many media reporters also interviewed Tong Yi.
When Tong Yi faced the media reporters, he said, "We will definitely not give up in this game. We want to win the Italian Cup. Juventus is very strong, but we are
It’s not like we haven’t defeated them, we will definitely give our best in this game!”
Inter Milan fans are satisfied with this. They all hope that AC Milan will fight against Juventus and beat out Juventus's Yoneda. This will completely anger Juventus so that Juventus and AC Milan can fight.
in the end.
Even at this time, many Inter Milan fans have begun to pay attention to this game. They are full of expectations for Tong Yi's team.
At this time, the game between Inter Milan and Naples started first.
Inter Milan's home game against Naples was to be played one day earlier. Both Tong Yi and Sarri watched this game in front of the TV. They wanted to see the performance of the Inter Milan people in this game, and even their
I also hope that Inter Milan will have some problems, preferably big ones.
The result was obviously disappointing for them!
Many media reporters from the outside world have guessed well. Inter Milan people did not invest too much in this game, and they can be said to have given up on this game. Of course, Inter Milan did not give up completely, they still symbolically
The offense struggled a bit.
And the final result did not make Inter Milan people too unhappy.
Inter Milan lost to Naples at home 0-1.
This result is still acceptable to them. On the contrary, the people of Naples, AC Milan and Juventus are very dissatisfied. What the Naples people are dissatisfied is that they did not score more goals and were not able to compete in the first round.
He completely killed the game and advanced to the finals of the Italian Cup.
What Juventus and AC Milan are dissatisfied with is that Inter Milan did not pay anyone except losing in this game, and even the main players did not consume much physical energy. Now Inter Milan
The Milanese are betting on Serie A, which is not good news for Juventus and AC Milan.
Next, they will encounter the high pressure of Inter Milan in the league!
The next day, Conte's eyes were focused on AC Milan's home game against Juventus.
Obviously, Conte hopes that both teams will suffer losses.
However, it is obvious that these two teams did not let Conte succeed.
In this game, Juventus and AC Milan had an unusual tacit understanding. The two teams almost sent out full substitute lineups at the same time, and the main players were all taking turns. Seeing this, Conte was very disappointed, and his face was very
It was so ugly that he didn't even watch the rest of the game.
Because this means nothing to him and Inter Milan at all, what else is there to pay attention to?
However, although AC Milan and Juventus have made rotations, they are still very actively involved in the game. They have not really given up, and the players of the two teams are really very active on the court.
It's very hard, the movements are very big, and there are many scenes where people fall on their backs!
Even AC Milan's Locatelli was injured and had to be substituted early.
This made AC Milan fans frightened. Fortunately, none of the main players were injured. If they were injured, it would have a huge impact on the subsequent league and UEFA Champions League games!
At this time, AC Milan fans really supported Tong Yi's rotation. And Juventus fans still had the same idea as AC Milan fans. This game was well done.
The AC Milan people were lucky. Locatelli was only slightly injured and was not reimbursed for serious injuries. He could rest for more than a week. Tong Yi also breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that no one was injured.
Both teams played very well in this game, and the game was also very exciting.
The final result was a one-to-one draw.
This result is not particularly satisfactory to both teams. They both hope that the winner can be determined in the first round, so that their energy will not be involved later.
But you can still accept it!
This round of the Italian Cup has indeed disappointed many media reporters and fans. They all thought that this would be a match like Mars hitting the earth. Who knew that these strong teams had chosen to "protect themselves wisely" at this time?
, even the Coppa Italia has to be abandoned? Some media reporters even criticized these teams crazily and expressed their dissatisfaction. If this is the case, then what is the meaning of the existence of the Coppa Italia? It is better to cancel it as soon as possible!
They are very dissatisfied with the perfunctory behavior of these teams, saying that this is poisoning Italian football!
Some media reporters even hope that the Italian Football Association will severely punish these teams and force these teams to participate in the Coppa Italia. Otherwise, there is really no need for the Coppa Italia!
