The Nerazzurri at the assault of Milan in the semifinal of this trophy. With a new title they can ask for another “special” sign
The word “star” always appears in this era, even more when you finish to combine Milan and Inter. Last year in the championship, the second pinned to the Nerazzurri chest, is the brightest because it is historical. He arrived right in a away derby: the mystical experience dreamed of every Inter fans who became reality on a rain night at the end of April. Now, to be “starry” is the Italian Cup, which puts in front of the two souls of Milan in a semifinal of very high nobility: Simone Inzaghi’s team, for a few hours at least, must put in brackets the many worries between Italy and Europe to concentrate only on this commitment, a bit because the historian 2024-25 with the devil is a half disaster and a little because he enlarges the opportunity to win a “decision”.
In the Sala dei Trofi in Viale della Liberazione nine Cups Italian Cups, another would be enough for the Nerazzurri to arrive in double figures: they would be the only ones of our football capable of climbing this height after Juve, who fled in the meantime to number 15. At the same starting level – 9 trophies – there would also be Rome, which is however outside the battle. This time, however, it is the Milan derby that directs the course of events. Also because the semifinal with the Devil is the largest obstacle for Simone, craving to win a trophy dear to him: two of the nine Nerazzurri Italian cups are marked on fire by Inzaghi, he brought them home in the first two years, interrupting only the past year. The final is far away, and in itself unpredictable, but on the other side of the scoreboard, one between Bologna and Empoli will arrive at the Olimpico: in both cases, it would be difficult not to think about Inter as a favorite.
the request

There are many stars, millions of millions, and so, by dint of looking at the new one on the chest, Inter got lost in the celestial gaze. Indeed, the constellation on the shirt could grow thanks to the possible Italian Cup. The road is not easy because, in addition to the challenge on the field, some bureaucratic passages will be needed, but the burning Nerazzurri desire to tear this trophy is accompanied by a wonderful thought and also a little “stylish”: in case of victory and double figure, you could make the Federation of a special recognition for this uncommon goal, which still embellishes the Nerazzurri shirt. The possibility is not contemplated at the moment, there is nothing in the regulations that speak of the “right” of affecting a new star (perhaps silver …) or any other “special” sign for the holders of 10 Italian cups, to be associated with the golden one with every 10 championships won. The initiative cannot start from the Football League or the Federation, in short, but any Interista request would be fully legitimate and taken into consideration. Juve won his tenth back in 2015 (and then repeated in the following three years and also add the 2021 trophy plus the last of 2024): on that first occasion, with Allegri on the bench, there was talk of the event for a long time, according to the same assumptions today. In Turin, however, every request or derogation was avoided: among other things, the controversy was still fresh on the third post-alciopoli star.
exorcism

Before going so far, however, in Appiano you focus on the field, also because the devil’s pitchfork has a lot this year. The Nerazzurri were used to toasting in the derby, before this season they came from a thread of six in a row won. And, on the other hand, in 2024-25 everything changed: defeat in the bloody house, a crazy comeback suffered in the Super Cup in Riad with a cigar and movement of Conceiçao pelvis gone to the ex-partner Simone Inzaghi and the last tie caught at the last breath with De Vrij’s goals on Zalesski’s “Petta”. Before, even thinking of applying for stamped paper to the institutions of football, there is to be exorcised these fresh memories and then, however, the forces should be concentrated on the possible final of the Olimpico. Meanwhile, at Inter they studied astronomy and see strange coincidences in the stars: the Italian Cup return derby is played on April 23, while on 22 of a year ago they climbed on the second golden star by beating Milan.
