At 8.45 pm in the Roma-Monza and Inter-Cremonese fields
Those who have disappointed at the Stadium stay out.
It is the harsh law of Mou.
"If someone plays badly, I change ... goodbye", he had warned immediately after the 1-1 against Juventus and already with Monza there will be the first choices.
Certainly it cannot be a massive turnover because in the pits, for some time yet, there will be Wijnaldum and Zaniolo, while Belotti, who is going towards the first call, has two training sessions on his legs and Camara will arrive only today from Greece to thicken the Giallorossi midfield.
To pay the costs of the bad first half in Turin, therefore, will be the two outside players: Karsdorp and Spinazzola, both changed at half-time by Mourinho.
Awarded, however, Celik and Zalewski who will take the place, while still in doubt the ownership or not of El Shaarawy.
Even the Pharaoh did well once he entered the Stadium and Josè could decide to deploy him by sacrificing a midfielder between Cristante and Matic and lowering Pellegrini in the median.
Still extraordinary ahead for Abraham and Dybala with Joya who, after having found the first assist of the season for the goal that unlocked the English striker against Juventus, now also wants to enter his name in the register of scorers in front of an Olympic who will be once again sold out.
The match against Cremonese seemed the best possible way for Inter towards the derby on Saturday, but Lukaku's muscle problem complicated the situation at the Nerazzurri not a little, especially in a big match against the Rossoneri rivals.
The risk is, as in last season, of having to find themselves immediately chasing the direct competitors: not the best way to start the new year, especially in a particular season and compressed from the point of view of the calendar such as the current one (given the World Cup in Qatar in November and December).
Meanwhile tomorrow, while Acerbi's arrival from Lazio seems to have faded, at San Siro there will be Dzeko from the first minute, who seems to have the advantage over Correa to replace the Belgian, next to Lautaro Martinez who will have to return to play the role of the driver as in the last season.
And among the news in the Lombard derby of the Meazza, in addition to the returns of Calhanoglu and Gosens from 1 ', there could also be the debut of Onana between the posts in place of captain Handanovic.
Also because it will be a challenge in the match against Radu, number one in Cremonese but owned by Inter, author of the decisive mistake against Bologna last season that paved the way for Milan in the championship fight.
