“On my signal, raise hell.” The well-known quote from the film “Gladiator” with the immortal performance of Russel Crowe, it performs well what Inter will face on Wednesday evening, starting at 21, at the Camp Nou in Barcelona: an incandescent atmosphere, for many reasons, that Simone Inzaghi’s team will have to be good at managing and enduringstrong as it will be of two out of three results against the Catalans. In fact, the Nerazzurri arithmetically with the three points, but probably also with the equal, would be one step away from qualifying for the round of 16: with victory it would be official, with a dot instead the lead lengths would remain 3 with two days to go with a direct match in favorso it would be enough for Inter achieve the same results as the Catalans in the other two challenges, at home against Viktoria Plzen (who will receive the Spaniards in the last round) and away against Bayern, (who will instead go to Catalonia next day), almost certainly already first in the group.
THE PROTESTS IN LAPORTA AND THE SMELL OF BANKRUPTCY. A match from inside or outside for Xavi’s men, and this in Barcelona everyone knows, from the coach to the president Joan The doorthat to further load the environment e put pressure on Uefa he blurted out: “Inter’s refereeing was shameful. I let UEFA know it because it was obvious.” All this undisguised nervousness testifies the smell of failure that is breathed in these hours within society culé: leaving the Champions League group for the second year in a row would mean economic and media disasterin a situation that is already very complicated from a financial point of view. Being ousted from the most important competition in Europe in October, after the pharaonic market of the summer, would send the most important members of the Catalan club into a rage, not to mention that for Sunday at 4.15 pm the Bernabeu will be held on Classic against Real Madrid. Facing him with an elimination from the Champions League or a near-expulsion on the back could be lethal.
THE FEAR OF THE FANS AND THE ANGER OF INTER – For this reason all the members of the club await and prepare the challenge with trepidation mixed with anger. Witness theattitude of the fans. who are preparing for the bedlam: yesterday during the match against Celta Vigo the chorus was clearly heard “Inter, Inter vaff …”, demonstrating that the Blaugrana supporters are ready to welcome the Nerazzurri in a certain way. In addition, the classic lunch, scheduled for the day of the match, does not reserve great tranquility at the moment: the management of Inter is in fact irritated for the behavior of the upper floors of the Barca. In short, Wednesday evening the environment will certainly not be peaceful.
RIVALITY THAT LASTS SINCE 2010 – Meanwhile the hottest part of the cheering culé an appointment has already been made at 6 pm in Avinguda Joan XXIII, with flags and pyrotechnic material to support the team, which “needs support, as it deserves”. In the poster, attached the image of a Barcelona fan peeing on the Inter emblem, with the previous referees of 2010 still not forgotten.
