On May 5th, the 5th round of Serie A matches is also the last round of Serie A. As the most influential league in Europe, today will also determine the world-renowned league champion and the remaining two Champions League seats And two UEFA Cup seats, and two relegation places.

The last round of nine games started at the same time, the focus of the game between Inter Milan and Lazio was the famous Golden Whistle Collina to officiate.

for

Inter Milan's game not only determines the ownership of the league championship, but also determines whether they can break the league record of 54 unbeaten games held by their rivals in the same city, AC Milan.

It can be said that if they win, Inter Milan will win everything, and if they lose, Inter Milan will also lose at least half of their honor.

Before the game, Jiang Mu issued a championship declaration to the players and fans of Inter Milan, calling on fans from all over the world to come to Rome to cheer for Inter Milan. Moratti also promised a lot of rewards to the players of Inter Milan. Each player will have an average reward of 20 euros.

Honor, money, the expectations of the fans, the dream of achieving dominance, all these stimulate Inter Milan's players to fight for the championship.

After selling many main players this season, Lazio's performance has dropped sharply, and now it has fallen to the point of competing with Bologna for the last UEFA Cup place.

In the past, Lazio really didn't pay attention to the UEFA Cup seats, but now, for the European war, Lazio also has to fight to the death with Inter Milan. In addition to the UEFA Cup seats, Lazio also needs to use the victory of this game Come to inspire yourself, give confidence to the players and fans, and prepare for the rebuilding next season.

Before the game, Lazio club chairman Craniotti suddenly issued an ultimatum to the current head coach Zaccheroni. If the team fails to beat Inter Milan in the last game, Zaccheroni will receive a dismissal order.At the same time, news that Mancini, a former Lazio player who coached Fiorentina this season, may return to Lazio to take charge of the coach also spread like wildfire.

Since taking office in September last year, Zaccheroni's coaching performance in Lazio has been disappointing, including a 9-1 loss against city rival Roma. Lazio fans have long called for Zaccheroni to be fired However, Craniotti said that frequent coach changes are not good for the team, and he will at least consider whether to continue to use Zaccheroni until the end of the season.

Now that the season is not over yet, Craniotti issued an ultimatum to Zaccheroni in this way. I don't know which tendon is wrong in the mind of this always moody chairman.

Craniotti's ultimatum undoubtedly had a major impact on the game. Some players didn't care about the UEFA Cup seats. This year is the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. Many players think that they will play the World Cup for a month during the vacation In the competition, after the start of the season, if we fight on two lines again, we will still be playing in the League Cup like this. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my job.

Inter Milan is currently only two points ahead of Juventus, and 20000 fans will come to Rome's Stadio Olimpico to cheer for them. I hope that Jiang Mu's team can score all three points for Crazio to ensure that the champion will not be left behind.

If Inter Milan loses, and Juventus beat Udinese at home, Inter Milan will repeat the tragedy of losing the championship in the last round!

If Inter Milan and Lazio draw, and Juventus wins, Inter Milan will have a championship play-off with Juventus.

Before the two rounds, Inter Milan was filled with optimism to win the championship, and the city government is also preparing a series of celebrations for the early victory.Compared with the blind optimism two rounds ago, it is now replaced by suffocating caution and tension: no one pre-prepares the celebration party, Inter Milan also implements a news lock, and no one publishes any championship predictions to the media for fear of misleading the international team. Milan supporters, let their emotions have an effect on the players.

The battle to win the championship is in one round, and the emotions of Inter Milan fans are also very contradictory, often hovering on the edge of optimism and pessimism.The latter emotion is exactly what Inter Milan needs most at present, and the whole team concentrates their energy on the last 90 minutes of this season.

The biggest advantage of Inter Milan is Cannavaro's dedication, Jiang Mu no longer has to work hard for the central defender position like in the previous games.Although Ronaldo has a slight injury, he should be able to recover in time, and all the main players of Inter Milan can play, which is a huge benefit.

Lazio is in a very embarrassing situation. There is no hope of bidding and no worries about relegation. There is only one UEFA Cup seat. Players are the main force of the national team, and it is obviously unrealistic to ask them to go all out.

Inter Milan has two wins and four draws in the past six rounds, and their momentum has weakened, so they are gradually approached by Juventus.And Lazio has four wins and two losses (in order of wins, wins, losses, wins, wins, losses), and also has a world-class defense line composed of stars such as Nesta, Stam, and Montero. It is difficult for Inter Milan to win. Not small.

Previously, Italian sports station had predicted that Lazio would probably beat Inter Milan 2-1 amid the cheers of [-] fans, destroying Inter Milan's dream of defending the title and sending Juventus to the championship podium.

The game started at 7:2 p.m., and Inter Milan fans poured into Rome in the morning. Although Inter Milan had negotiated with Lazio to give Inter Milan [-] tickets, this was far from meeting the requirements of Inter Milan fans. , There are many fans who hope to come to Rome to try their luck. Tickets for Lazio and Inter Milan on the black market have been hyped to more than [-] Euros. There are also some fans who are fine even if they can’t buy tickets. Feel the joy of the team defending the title for the first time.

After the Inter Milan training in the afternoon, Jiang Mu participated in the last press conference before the game. At the press conference, Jiang Mu's self-confidence reassured the fans.

"The final game, to determine the title of the champion, will definitely be difficult. Every player will bear a lot of psychological pressure. However, I believe that our players will be able to withstand the pressure and beat Lazio, because no matter how difficult it is It is also easier than last season, last season we were able to complete a big reversal under such circumstances, and this season we will not lose the championship."

"Since the beginning of this season, Inter Milan has been at the top of the league table. We have come to this position relying on our own strength. To win the league title, we cannot expect Lazio to perform poorly. We must conquer our opponents with our excellent performance. , showing the domineering and self-confidence in the previous games, and an important reason why I feel confident is that we control our own destiny, as long as we win, the championship is ours."

Two hours before the start of the game, the fans had already entered the stadium one after another. An hour later, the stadium was basically full, but there were still fans coming around the Olympia Stadium in Rome.

At this time, in the locker room of the visiting team, Jiang Mu is reducing the pressure on the players. At this time, tactics are not the most important thing. After playing for more than a year, I know how to play even if I close my eyes. The most important thing is to play. , The mental state is related to the performance of the players, not nervous, too nervous, not excited, too excited is prone to accidents.

The locker room played Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny", and the TV showed the footage of Inter Milan's two-season matchup with Lazio. The short clip was played for about 10 minutes, and the time has come to 6:50, Jiang Mu Turn off the TV and music, and give the players a final pep talk.

"...This game does not require you to fight with your life, because our strength is stronger than them. As long as we play normally, we can beat Lazio; our opponent is not Lazio, but the devil in your heart, Lazio's The opponent is not us, but Bologna. Therefore, our tactics today are based on me. If I play my tactical requirements and our normal level, we will win. Keep a calm mind and a meticulous attitude. This is what you have today. What has to be done... the goal must be scored early in the first half, the earlier the goal, the better..."

Jiang Mu's speech was not passionate. He was not prepared to let the players go all out, because within ten days, Inter Milan will play three finals. If there is still room for buffering, then it will be this game. In the event of a draw, the match can be postponed until later, so that Inter Milan can still play the Coppa Italia and Champions League finals with peace of mind.If this game is won desperately and the players are full of scars, they are likely to become very passive in the next Coppa Italia and Champions League finals.

After Jiang Mu's speech, the referee Corina also blew the whistle to summon the players to play. Jiang Mu stood at the door, shaking hands with the players, hugging them, and patting their backs. Although Jiang Mu didn't say anything, the players They all felt the heavy burden on their shoulders.

With 10 minutes left before the game, the commentators finally got the starting lineups of Inter Milan and Lazio. The two teams attach great importance to the game, and the starting lineups have not been submitted.

Lazio's formation is 4-4-2: Marchegiani Negro, Nesta, Cotto, Pankaro Poboski, Gianni Keida, Liverani, Stankovic Cray Spoelstra, Lopez, this lineup is currently the strongest lineup that Lazio can form. There are no bright spots or weaknesses.

And Inter Milan's lineup is also quite satisfactory, 4312 formation, both offensive and defensive, goalkeeper Toldo, four defenders Zanetti, Cordoba, Materazzi, Cannavaro.Three midfielders: Di Bianho, Pirlo, Farinos, midfielder: Ronaldinho, double forwards: Vieri and Ronaldo.

Inter Milan's on-site commentator Scarpini did not express anything when he got Lazio's starting lineup, but Inter Milan's starting lineup surprised Scarpini, but this surprise was not because Jiang Mu's formation was too unusual. It's so normal that it makes people wonder if it was an arrangement made by assistant coach Baresi.
