The ex-Inter Milan midfielder recalls the lost Serie A title and the troubled relationship between Ronaldo and the Cup: “Always at odds”

Former Inter Milan midfielder Stefan Dalma recalls the infamous 2001/2002 season when the Nerazzurri were stripped of the title on the final day of the campaign.

Hector Cuper’s men’s team only had to win against Lazio, who at that point in the season had little to play for. However, Karel Poborsky and co had other plans as the Czech star led the Biancocelesti to a stunning 4-2 victory at the Stadio Olimpico.

This result brought the Serie A title to Juventus, who won 2-0 in Udine.

But while Inter were unlucky on that devastating May 5th, you’re sure to find much better luck on online casino where you can earn big rewards starting with the smallest deposit.

For his part, Dalmat claims that the blow remains the biggest regret of his time at the club. However, the Frenchman claims the Nerazzurri let the title slip through their fingers by dropping two points against Chievo Verona a couple of weeks ago.

“The only big regret about being at Inter is that incredible day, in a negative sense,” the 45-year-old told Calcio Time via FCInterNews.

“However, I am convinced that we lost the title at Chievo Verona when Cossato equalized in the final minutes of stoppage time. And, above all, two sensational penalties that were not awarded to Inter.

“From that moment on, I had the feeling that something could go wrong in Rome, and it really did.

“A few days before the match with Lazio, we heard talk about satisfied Biancocelesti players who would play “calmly.” I remember how Poborsky unleashed himself in that match!

“It was a huge disappointment and it remains a terrible memory.”

In addition, Dalmot spoke about the relationship between his then Inter coach Hector Cuper and “Il Fenomeno” Ronaldo.

The retired midfielder says the two men were always furious with each other because the Argentine coach was too demanding.

“There was no love lost between them, not at all. They didn’t talk to each other, didn’t chat or communicate.

“They argued from the beginning about weight issues and tactics.

“But I always say: when you have a player like Ronaldo, you have to let him do his thing. Cooper should have just left him alone and waited for him to score to decide the game for him.

“He should have let Ronaldo eat a little more, let him go out and wait for him to explode at the San Siro. Cooper was a great coach, but he made a mistake here.”
