Real Madrid and Inter seem like a world turned upside down. The last Spaniards in the group and with water in their throats, the Nerazzurri one point ahead. The crossing between the battleships of the group is a battle for survival between old friends. Zinedine Zidane and Antonio Conte They exchange ceremonies and compliments on the eve of a match that can mark the path for both in the Champions League. A path that began disastrously for Real Madrid and quite bumpy for Inter.
Nobody is worse, both are in poor condition in qualifying. Conte has collected much less than he deserved so far, Zidane has grabbed a point in the last gasp of the game against Borussia M’Gladbach, after the disastrous fall in his home debut with Shakhtar.
Inter are nervous about three draws in the last four games, it will be necessary to understand if they can react to the absence of their referent. Romelu lukaku, he didn’t even leave for the trip. Losing would complicate the group, then force a series of victories to think about advancing the round and reaching the second round, a promised land unreachable for the Nerazzurri for eight years.
The cross between Zidane and Conte it has the flavor of an old friendship. «As Juventus captain he was very important for the team, a leader. He saw that he would become a coach: his teams are difficult to face, ”recalls Zizou. «I don’t think about my future, it doesn’t depend on Inter. However, this match will be like a final for us.
Conte could have ended up on the Real bench in 2018. «I have an exceptional memory of Zizou, he was a talent, he is an incredible person. At La Real it was close, but the season had already started, it would have been very difficult. I preferred to postpone, the times were not ripe, “says the Inter coach.
However, it is the right time to test a business, despite the numerous and abundant absences, especially in attack. Lukaku out and from the beginning without even Sanchez, Conte is forced to bet everything on Lautaro Martínez, paired with Perisic. The Argentine “Toro” has the opportunity to come out of his phase of involution, relaunch and drag Inter out of the swamp of an intricate group, where it is easier to sink than to leave.
Looking at the past is not very calm, the Real Madrid they won six of seven European home games against Inter, but Conte has no intention of distorting the team, on the contrary. “I am not aiming for the par. We will not corner ourselves like a fighter who fights back and takes hits looking for a single punch for the knockout. I respect them, but not wonder.
Zidane is the king of the cups, has won three Champions League, all with Real Madrid. Conte is only in his fifth participation in a European competition and a battleship like the Spanish has never had it available. Inter, however, has grown in experience, reaching the first major play-off of the season with men like Vidal, still on the hunt for the first Nerazzurri goal, but already able to score against Real as much when he was at Juventus as with the Bayern Munich jersey. “It will be an intense game, but we can win and I hope to celebrate it with the Inter and Barcelona fans,” said the Chilean.
In the Valdebebas field you can try the feat, you don’t need a miracle, you need to close the door and take advantage of the chances in attack, to hit a Real Madrid, never so in difficulty and behind three defeats in the last five games. It can be done, it’s the right time to ko fist
