Milan really seemed to be reborn on Sunday evening. Is it possible that just one night was enough to sweep away all the difficulties shown by the Rossoneri team throughout the start of the official season? This is the predominant hope on the side of the Devil, who for the moment can be content to celebrate the return to a victory in the derby that had been missing for more than two years and the draw in the standings with their hated cousins in the black and blue jersey.
Not only that, because there is also a tactical choice made by Fonseca to counter Inter that could ideally become the cornerstone of his new Milan. Always lined up with a 4-2-3-1 until now, even in the derby on Sunday evening the Rossoneri showed up with this initial guise but with a fundamental variation that shuffled all the cards. A variable that arrived from Rome in the final hours of the whirlwind summer transfer market.
This is Tammy Abraham, Fonseca’s new ‘tactical weapon’. Arriving after the last two not so happy seasons in the Capital, everyone expected the English striker to compete for a place in the center of the attack with Morata game after game. And instead, that’s where Fonseca intervened, studying a solution that would allow him to have them together and not alternatives. A move that surprised Inzaghi and all of Inter, exhausted by the pressure of Abraham as a midfielder. Not in a version of a hungry striker, but as a man of sacrifice. One of the weapons that Milan must cling to in order to change the inertia of the season.
