In a few hours it begins. A meeting that for AC Milan is worth double: for the historic importance of match the and to try to turn things around.
The team and the environment need to regain enthusiasm and serenity after these difficult weeks. Winning against Inter could change the rossoneri ‘s championship course.
The most complicated task is that of Vincenzo Montella. All the pressure is on him, who has not yet found the right squad from the tactical point of view. In the derby he will confirm the defense of three that so far has not convinced much. First time playing the “Derby della Madonnina” for Leonardo Bonucci and Mateo Musacchio, who will be joined by Alessio Romagnoli. So many “debuts” even in midfield, that, unlike in recent games, could be composed of four and not five.
Fabio Borini towards confirmation on the right flank In the middle Lucas Biglia and Franck Kessie. Ricardo Rodriguez is untouchable on the left. Up front, the trio tried many times by Montella these days: Suso and Giacomo Bonaventura behind Andre Silva. Nikola Kalinic was expected to start as leading centre forward but the Croatian hasn’t recovered from a muscular problem and was not summoned for this game so Andre Silva is in advantage over Patrick Cutrone for a first minute start. The two are enjoying a good moment of form, confirmed with their respective national teams.
On the other side, Luciano Spalletti will use the 4-2-3-1 module. The coach’s main concern is Marcelo Brozovic, one of the most formidable Inter players of the moment: the midfielder has been injured with the national team and his condition remains to be checked. Joao Mario is ready to replace him behind the usual Mauro Icardi. Matias Vecino near Borja Valero in midfield. Dalbert Henrique and Yuto Nagatomo fight for a place on the left.
Inter (4-2-3-1): Handanovic; D’Ambrosio, Skriniar, Miranda, Dalbert (Nagatomo); Borja Valero, Vecino; Candreva, Joao Mario, Perisic; Icardi.
