September 29 – 9:16 pm – MILAN

Inter-Lavia Prague has a story in the story that binds disappeared cups, gunners and years. The first comparison dates back to 11 July 1938, a handful of months before the Monaco conference between Germany, Great Britain, France and Italy. There it was established that the Czechoslovak part of the Sudeti – the “German” region of the country – was occupied by the Nazis. A step forward towards the Second World War. Here it is located in the worst defeat of Inter in Europe: a 9-0 remedied in Prague in the quarterfinals by the Central Europe Cup, the ancestor of the Mithopa Cup. A competition suppressed in 1992.

Behind the Ko

In the field there were also some fresh world champions of ’38: Giuseppe Meazza, for all “Peppin”, Ugo Locatelli, Giovanni Ferrari, Renato Olmi and Pietro Ferraris. The coach was Armando Castellazzi, who had won the world championship four years earlier as a player. Inter – in those days still known as Ambrosiana Inter – collected nine goals one after the other at the old Letna stadium in Prague. The day of the day was “Pepi” Bicho, the third more prolific marker in the history of football after Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. That day marked four goals. Václav Horak and Rudolf Vytlacil put on another couple, Vojtech Bradaa Uno. That year the Slavia won the trophy by beating the Ferencvaros in the final. Before meeting the Hungarians also eliminated Genoa. Bicho marked 4 other goals in the return race. Closed by top scorer (10 goals).

The previous ones

The Czechoslovakia celebrated the third European Trophy for Club teams in its history after the two of the Sparta Prague in previous years, arrived in 1927 and 1935. From there a few months, however, she will enter a nightmare spite that will be fed with full annexation to Nazi Germany of March 15, 1939 Career a couple of years later. It boasts 540 goals in 282 games. Regarding the exact number of his goals there is a debate that will last forever, but the poker trimmed in that 9-0 is sure. Inter returned to challenge Slavia in 2019: 3-1 in Prague and 1-1 at San Siro. They hadn’t crossed for 81 years. It was another football. It was another world.
