Almost everything is ready for the derby della Madonnina. This evening, at 8.45 pm, theInter by Simone Inzaghi will try to return to success after two consecutive draws. On the opposite front there is the Milan by Paulo Fonseca, who in the event of a resounding defeat risks his place on the bench. “What has happened has happened, we find a team with excellent players trained by an excellent coach who I have already met several times in Rome. We will have to be ready”, declared the Nerazzurri coach. “I believe in a way of winning, which is a way common to many great teams. In Italy, the value of the game is not so much the game, but the result. When they brought me here, it was because they wanted to change the game. When a team has the ball, there is a greater chance of winning. We must believe in this. I don’t think the best football is when we give the ball to the opponents”, replied the Rossoneri coach.

The main question is about the conditions of Dimarco, recovered and who should start on the left in place of Carlos Augusto. On the right, a ballot between Dumfries, never deployed from the start so far this season, and Darmian. For the rest, Simone Inzaghi should propose the standard eleven: Lautaro will return in attack with Thuram and Mkhitaryan in midfield together with Barella and Calhanoglu. Sommer between the posts, Pavard will also be seen from the 1′ in defense with Acerbi – favored over De Vrij – and Bastoni.

Paulo Fonseca changes for the derby, a decisive match for his future. Compared to the match against Liverpool, the Portuguese coach will also change the formation: no longer 4-2-3-1, but the 4-4-2 variant, with the double central striker formed by Abraham and Morata. The one who will be left out is Loftus-Cheek, in addition to Pavlovic, who will be replaced by Gabbia. For the rest: Maignan in goal, four-man defense with Emerson Royal on the right (Calabria is injured), Gabbia and Tomori in the center, Theo Hernandez on the left. In the middle Fofana and Reijnders. Up front the aforementioned Abraham-Morata pair with Pulisic and Leao on the wings.
