  "account": "Inter President Beppe Marotta has emphasized that Roma are a team 'to be respected,' yet he is wary that the outcome of today's Serie A clash will not be the defining moment in the Scudetto race. The match is scheduled to commence at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome at 17:00 UK time (18:00 CEST). Inter will observe a minute's silence before the game, in solidarity with the late legend Sandro Mazzola, who passed away at the age of 83. The black armbands worn by Inter symbolize the preservation of Mazzola's memory, as he played for 17 consecutive seasons, contributing to the legacy of legendary coach Helenio Herrera and President Angelo Moratti's Inter.\n\nMarotta and Inter acknowledge Roma as a formidable opponent, having displayed excellence both in terms of results and performance since the start of the season. Despite this, Marotta ensures that Inter will maintain respect for their opponents. Inter's unbeaten streak at Stadio Olimpico stretches back to a 2-1 defeat in October 2016, and they have secured 10 out of their last 12 competitive meetings with Roma. The club respects Roma's experienced coach and their players' organizational prowess, which is complemented by the unwavering support of their passionate fans. However, despite missing key players John Stones, Djed Spence, and Hakan Calhanoglu, Inter's recent performances have shown flashes of brilliance, with the team scoring five goals in their last two Serie A matches, including two astonishing comebacks against Napoli and Udinese.",
