There is less and less time until Sunday evening’s derby between Inter And Milanwith the two teams coming into the derby with totally opposite morales. Focusing on the Devil, for Paulo Fonseca these are very difficult days because his future hangs by a thread: if a positive result does not arrive in the postponed match of the 5th day of Serie A, the coach could also be fired. The names evaluated by the management are those of Edin Terzic, released after the experience at Borussia Dortmund, Maurizio Sarri, Sergio Conceicao and Thomas Tuchel, with whom there was contact in the last few hours.
Meanwhile, the Rossoneri coach met Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Thursday at Milanello: a conversation took place between the two, with the Swede making sure to encourage and spur the players individually. The operating partner of RedBird Capital Partners and advisor to the Milan owners wanted to speak with some of the team’s leaders, including Mike Maignan, Theo Hernandez and Tijjani Reijnders. The goalkeeper trained with the group, reassuring everyone: only a strong bruise, he will be there against Inter.
The wait is almost over, San Siro is already ready and is heading towards a sell-out: next weekend’s match is expected to bring in around 7 million euros, a figure that would allow it to surpass the 6.6 million euros of Inter-Juve in October 2019, the current all-time record in Serie A history.
