At the press conference after the game, Capello said bitterly: "There are two types of forwards in the world, one is Ronaldo, and the other is other forwards. ┏Ⅹ④③⑨⑨┛And we encountered Ronaldo today. They fought to the last moment and I'm proud of them. The score of 1:2 is not fair and does not fully reflect the situation on the field, I think 2:2 would be more reasonable."

"Zlatan has shown amazing talent and I think he can develop into a world-class player close to Ronaldo. But he has to maintain hard training, hunger for goals and strong winning**."

"One loss is not the end of the world, there are still 6 rounds of the league, everything can happen. We have already been eliminated in the Champions League, the Coppa Italia has given up, now we can focus on the league, and Inter Milan has to fight in the third line. I don't think Inter Milan's bench is deep enough to support them in the third line, they will make mistakes sooner or later. We will see."

It was a great game, it meant a lot and it put us in a good position in the title race."

"It is not yet possible to say that we are sure that we will win the championship. There are still 6 games, and we must win one by one."

After this game, Ricardo did not go to Rome, because the time was very tight, they only had 2 days of rest, and they had to challenge Messina away.

Although Messina is an underdog, although Inter Milan abused the opponent in the first half of the season,

But April 24 is destined not to be a lucky day for Inter Milan, as the so-called extreme joy begets sorrow.

In order to give the main players a full rest and prepare for the Champions League match on the evening of April 26, Mancini made a relatively large rotation of the lineup. Ronaldo and Cambiasso sat on the bench. Adriano and Ricardo started.

However, in the first half the battle between the two sides became 0:0.
