MILAN - If you think about an Inter v Sampdoria clash with Mancini in the home dugout, your thoughts will inevitably stray to that match in the 2005/06 season. The comeback. Six minutes were all it took for Inter to surge back from 0-2 to 3-2. San Siro was a furnace that night, spurring the Nerazzurri on to glory. The whole stadium felt part of that team and that wonderful victory.
Tonight’s match can be a repeat of that. Not just because, like then, the match is being played in January. Not just because Roberto Mancini is once again at the Inter helm. And not just because any evening spent at the stadium with the Nerazzurri has the potential to be an unforgettable experience, just like that match was in 2006. There is great anticipation in the air, not least to see new boys Xherdan Shaqiri and Lukas Podolski in Coppa Italia action for the first time.
