After 80 days since the failure in Napoli (1-3), Inter have the chance to rematch the champions in the derby in the first leg of the return to Serie A. Cristi Chivu's team will have a full “Giuseppe Meazza” on Sunday night, with the fans of the winter champions calling on all spectators to color the stadium in nerazzurro.
For Cristi Chivu, the day of revenge against Antonio Conte is approaching, whom he failed to defeat as a coach neither with Parma (0-0) nor with Inter (1-3). In both games of 2025, it even left with scandal, many tensions between the two technical banks and aggressive statements from the champion of last season.

On Ennio Tardini, in the penultimate stage of the last championship, Chivu and Conte were eliminated by the referee, and on “Diego Maradona”, the coach of Napoli came into conflict with Lautaro Martinez and the president of the Nerazzurri, Beppe Marotta.
“Bring at least one object or something to wear with you! It can be a scarf, a flag or a Nerazzurro banner”
Under these conditions, it is not at all difficult to imagine what the atmosphere will be like on Sunday evening (9:45 p.m., livetext on GSP.ro, live on Digi Sport 1 and Prima Sport 1) at the derby that can separate Inter by 7 points from Napoli.
The ultras of Chivu's team mobilized and appealed to all those who will come to the match to show their affection for the club. “The 12th man enters the field. Ahead of Sunday's game against Napoli, we invite all Inter fans from the Meazza (in the stands and all other sections) to fill the stadium in nerazzurro”is the message that the rebranded “Secondo Anelle Verde” faction of Peluza Nord launched online.

The ultras gave a firm order: “Bring at least one object or something to wear with you! It can be a scarf, a flag or a banner. Everyone should do their part, displaying it proudly when the teams enter the field. Inter needs us!”.
