A challenge within a challenge this evening at San Siro between Inter and Como for many Como people who believe in the Nerazzurri. There are those who, beyond their sympathy for the city team on its return to San Siro, have no doubts about the fact that Inter will still come first and those who, on the contrary, will let the “Semm Cumasch” prevail. What is certain is that among well-known faces and ordinary fans, many will move to the Scala del calcio to watch the match with a special flavor live.
«In 2010 I was both in Barcelona and in Madrid (for the Champions League final won by Inter, ed.) – says the mayor Alessandro Rapinesewhich will be at San Siro – but I have no doubts and from the first to the ninety-seventh minute just go Como.” The former mayor Mario Lucinialso a historic Inter fan but always a huge fan of Como (seeing him constantly at the stadium, even in the dark years), says: «When Como-Inter is on, I support Como. I've always done it like this, since the 3-0 in 1975-76 with Melgrati looking after my idol Mazzola and who also scored goals. I won't be at San Siro, but my son and nephew will be there. He will certainly support Como, while my son will be more conflicted. In any case, it's one of those matches that, no matter what, you're not 100% disappointed.”
The regional councilor will be in the guest corner at the Meazza this evening Alessandro Fermi (of Juventus faith, however) but also the councilor of the Rapini council Maurizio Ciabattoniseason ticket holder at Sinigaglia. The regional councilor was also present Anna Dottialmost always at Sinigaglia with his son. There will be a real estate agent in the stands Alessandro Colomboof Nerazzurri faith, but who will confidently make an exception: «I will be with my brother-in-law, Cavagnetto and other Como players and I will support Como without any ifs or buts».
The team you chose as a child cannot be changed. The Undersecretary of the Interior thinks so Nicola Moltenian avid Nerazzurri fan (he was in Madrid in 2010 and also two years ago in the less successful final in Istanbul), who will not be in Milan this evening, but will watch the match on TV: «I'm happy that Inter-Como will be there again – he comments – and it's nice to see Como at the Scala of football. Who will I cheer for? Inter all my life. I still remember going to see it at the end of the 1980s, the 1988-89 championship and that we won 4-0.” He doesn't even have any doubts Luca Leonipresident of the Albergatori: «I'm not going to watch the match this time, but I'm 100% an Inter fan and therefore I will obviously support Inter. In any case, Como, even with the arrival of these VIP guests at the stadium, is a further promotional vehicle for the entire lake. Como is welcome in Serie A and may stay there, but tomorrow evening (today, ed.) we support Inter.”
Michele Di Turipresident of the Inter club Appiano Gentile, the largest in the entire province of Como with its 510 members, has been a season ticket holder at San Siro since 1978: «It's a match not to be underestimated, given Como's reaction to Roma in the minutes finals. It almost seems like a derby, I naturally like Como, but just go Inter.” An “almost” derby which was last seen at San Siro in 2002-2003 and which ended 4-0 for the Nerazzurri: «Vieri scored a brace – he says – and then Batistuta and Di Biagio».
Only Inter for the municipal councilor Alberto Fontana: «I have always been an Inter fan and it is clear that if the two teams don't play against each other I support both. But when there is a direct clash as a true Inter fan I support Inter.”
