Chinese mountaineers climb a 5,500-metre mountain – Corriere.it

Love for one’s team leads to unspeakable feats. Like that of two Chinese Nerazzurri supporters, who love mountaineering just like they love football. So the May 5th they planted an Inter flag on the summit of the mountain at 5,500 meters, a which they gave the name of “Picco Inter”. Something really romantic for the Viale Liberazione club.

The enterprise began on April 28 with the departure from Beijing for Chengduwhere they were assisted by the Chengdu Lingpandeng climbing school and then continued towards the Xiaoxue Mountain Range. Reached the base camp at 3,700 meters above sea level, they reached the base camp two at 4,800 meters. Until you reach the top and plant a plaque with the Inter logo. With lots of photos with the written “Let’s go to Istanbul”.

Among other things, the prediction was right given the double victory in the semifinals of the Euroderby against Milan on 10 and 16 May. With a lot of qualification, in fact, for the Champions League final on June 10 against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. This is the fourth time the two climbers have achieved the feat of scaling a never-climbed mountain together. And each time bringing an Inter gadget. Like in 2018 when they wore the Nerazzurri shirt and carried the Inter flag with them. Going where? Climbing the 5,200-meter-high Aotaina snow mountain.

In the following years, they climbed Namafeng Mountain and Yuzhufeng Mountain together. As in 2021, the year of the 19th championship by Antonio Conte: on that occasion the two climbed another mountain never climbed before which is now called “Monte dell’Inter”. Lots of love and also lots and lots of training. For the latest feat, that of the Istanbul prophecy, the two Nerazzurri fans trained for two years. Who knows if, if so, they will still have the strength to fly even higher in case of victory on June 10th.
