Italian Inter Milan is out to reverse last week's 6-2 rout at AS Roma in the return leg of the Italian Cup final Thursday to clinch their second consecutive double.

It is a mighty challenge, even for a team that secured the Serie A title with five games to spare last month.

But Inter insist it can be done.

"We know it will be difficult to come back from the first leg but we have to try," said captain Javier Zanetti.

"We'll only be able to pull it off if the team is united".

Inter Coach Roberto Mancini said his team has relaxed after winning the title and that it is difficult to be optimistic about retaining the cup.

But he also stressed that: "Soccer is strange, you never know. It won't be easy, but we want to do our best and give a good performance".

The coach called on his men not to repeat the sleepy start they made last week, when they were three goals down after 16 minutes.

"Let's hope we get into the game straight away this time and do better," he said.
