Original title: Inter want to break the decade without the embarrassment of the title, must step over the hurdle of Juve, the second round to do a good job in two points
The second leg of this season's Coppa Italia semifinals starts tomorrow at 3:45 a.m. Inter Milan, who lost at home in the first leg, will have to compete with their archrivals again at the Juventus Arena. This is the third Italian national derby between the two teams in the past month. The importance of this match is so obvious that both teams have vowed before the match that they will never give in, and they both want to step on each other to reach the final of the Coppa Italia.
Looking at the current situation, there is no doubt that the visiting Blue and Blacks are at a distinct disadvantage. Juventus took away two valuable away goals in the first leg, which means that Inter must win by more than two goals on the road if they want to advance to the final. The last time Inter won at Juve's home field and beat the Zebras by more than two goals was back in November 2012, when the Blue and Blacks beat Juve 3-1 on the road thanks to Milito's second-half heroics. In the second leg tomorrow morning, Inter will have to go all out to fight Juve to the end and try to make a miracle happen.
Although it is very difficult to overturn Juventus on the road, but for the blue and black army, if the team wants to end the embarrassment of 10 years without a title, then the enemy Juventus is a hurdle that the team must overcome. If Inter Milan can really turn the tables on their rivals in the early hours of tomorrow morning and make it to the final, then the Blue and Blacks will hopefully be able to savor the taste of the title again after a 10-year hiatus.

Inter Milan, who have no way back and are desperate for the title, need to do two things on the road in this do-or-die clash in the early hours of tomorrow morning if the Blue and Blacks are to have any chance of turning the tables and advancing.
The first point is to strengthen the offense to improve the accuracy of shooting. In the first round of the match between the two sides, Inter Milan due to the lack of core Lukaku and side pillar Ashraf two core, so that the blue and black army's offensive firepower plummeted. And tomorrow morning Inter two core will be released from the ban comeback, the team in the offensive end finally have two reliable pivot, blue and black legion of combat power is greatly enhanced. With Lukaku and Ashraf back in the starting lineup, Conte must send a strong signal to his disciples to let go and fight Juve on the road. In addition to strengthening their offense, the Blue and Blacks will have to improve their shooting accuracy. If Inter's shooting had been more accurate in the last match, the Blue and Blacks would have been able to get at least a draw. In the first leg, Inter had only 4 shots on target from 11 shots, while Juventus threatened Handanovic with 6 of their 9 shots. The Blue and Blacks will have to improve their accuracy and capitalize on their scoring chances if they want to turn the tables on Juve in the second round.
The second point is to control the midfield. Inter was able to dominate the Serie A first-round national derby with Juve last month and soundly beat the Zebras 2-0, thanks to the team's complete control of the midfield. Barella, in particular, was a god in that game. In their Coppa Italia semi-final first leg match, Inter's control of the midfield was not as good as in their first meeting this season, giving Juventus a chance to turn the game around. Tomorrow morning this game, the blue and black army want to take Juve, must ensure that the team can get advantage in the midfield, especially Brozovic, Barella, these two "can not die" all-round midfielder, must cover the entire center of the field, especially for Artur, Bentancur, Rabiot and a yellow card will be automatically suspended. "Weaknesses" that can be worked on more in the midfield. As long as Inter can take the initiative in the midfield at Juve's home field, the Blue and Blacks' hopes of winning the game are greatly increased.
It will be interesting to see if Inter Milan can beat Juventus on the road again after nine years and turn the tables to reach the Coppa Italia final in the early hours of tomorrow morning!
