Inter - Roma (23 Apr 22) [3-1]

Crap, I'll miss part of the match because of a 2nd booster shot for Covid-19 appointment.

Hope the players will not get carried away with last match's win over Milan. We really need to play each and every game like a knockout game.

I’m expecting a slug-fest. It’s never easy with Roma and Mou has imparted some grit. 3 points here would be big as it’s the toughest match left on paper.

Roma by far was our easiest opponent this year, and i m not even exaggerating, spezia, genoa and all those bottom teams put more effort against us then roma this year for whatever reason, so I fully expect some fuckery going on now that we need to win at all costs.

What do you consider current form? Last 5, 10, 15 or 20 games they are ranked 6th for away form.

Doesn't matter where they are ranked. I repeat myself, they haven't lost in Serie A since jubentus game at January. We need a win, and they still have theoritical chances for 4th place. It'll be a tough game.

I didn't say it did.. Someone else said they're the best away team in the league right now on current form, they are not.

Also did not say it would not be a tough game.

Also everyone always needs/wants to win.

Also every game is tough before kick off.

First of all, thanks for the kind answer!

Have a friend that supports Vitoria. Hates Braga, so I suppose you're similar

Yup! Braga are our local rivals, and the rivalry has deep and old roots between the two cities at all levels.

I trust you've been to several stadiums around Europe and this is not just a random trip, but prepare to be amazed by the entire experience. The first moment you lay eyes on the stadium and the first moment you enter it will be with you forever, especially when it's packed.

Yes, I'm fortunate to travel a lot for professional reasons and I've been to stadiums in may different countries, including "exotic" experiences such as Europa League games in Kazakhstan (Kairat Almaty - Aberdeen, in 2015) and Azerbaijan (Neftçi - Bnei Yehuda, in 2019), and more normal ones like seeing games in England (Newcastle, Sunderland) or Scotland (Celtic). I also go regularly to games in Portugal (and I have my own seat at Vitoria's stadium, of course), and I've also been to international games of Vitória (ex: St. Liege, Portsmouth, Sevilla). Never been before to a game in Italy, so I'm really looking forward to it (and Inter and the Giuseppe Meazza are really part of football history).

Yeap. Just don't have anything awkward inside, they'll ask to check it.

I guess it's the same as here in Portugal (I'll need to go directly from an event to the stadium, hence my question).

brehme1989 said:

It's best to not have one and instead wear an impermeable. If you have tickets in an uncovered space, just be prepared to get drained if that's what it is.

Fully agree and again the same as in Portugal. I'm on the upper ring (3rd tier) so there is a possibility of rain coming through the back with some wind.

These things are fluid and most of us aren't based in Italy and don't go to matches on a frequent basis so it's best to receive the advice directly from the authorities.

That is what I've seen. Thanks for "confirming it" and I'll be prepared with basic green pass and an FFP2 mask.

Unfortunately I'll probably have no time, but I'll make an effort to do it.

Again, thanks for the help and good luck for Saturday! I hope to celebrate with you and if possible I'll post some pictures here afterwards.

Can I feel offended about the fact that visiting my hometown Almaty is considered to be exotic and not normal ? Kairat Almaty is the team I was supporting as a kid I miss going to their games. Forza Kairat!

Apologies for considering exotic (in a "good sense") But for me it was not the obvious place to see a game. But I loved the atmosphere!

Here is a photo I took:

Don't take away the joy of doom and gloom from this forum.

Fight for 4th place comes down to this game, if we do not get 3 points we are guaranteed to be fighting it out for 4th.

I don't expect much from us, ex manager coming to haunt us, we are as a good as beat.

Simone playing same tactics, no subs til 70th min, Dzeko-Toro up top (sigh)..

Lets just PRAY we can retain a CL spot for next season.

Wankers.

Had to read the name of the poster before I clocked that this was sarcasm, maybe we have become too negative

Twitter is burning because the referee designated for this match is apparently from Milano region.
Marotta the new Moggi.

There's as much chance that he hates us as there is that he loves us.

Mixed feelings. We've outplayed them in the couple of seasons back but they are targeting that 4th spot, so a win is important here for them. But then again if we're being sentimental, we've got Mourinho there. What is certain going to happen is Ciro Immobile scoring against Milan and at least snatch a point from them.

We’re having perfect April, Roma is unpredictable right now. They depend a lot on Pellegrini, struggle under high line pressing. If they score first would be hard.

I can see 1-0 for us, a mistake from Smalling.

I see Inzaghi playing more defensively in this game. It would be nice to see both Gosens and Perisic starting this match along with Lautaro and Correa.

Defensively? Against Roma? No chance.

It will be us in the driver’s seat with Roma trying to catch us asleep for 90’ plus.
