Inter-Milan on the pitch at 20.45
HERE INTER
Winning the derby with "head and heart", looking back on the fluctuating performances of the last few weeks.
Simone Inzaghi's Inter goes to the derby against Milan with the desire to repeat their mid-January success in the Italian Super Cup.
In addition to putting the case of another Milan behind him, i.e. Skriniar, considering the market rumors of the past few weeks and the Slovakian's next farewell to PSG in June.
The defender is ready to become a starter again, but without wearing the captain's armband anymore.
"I don't judge the choices but the man and the player who are unique. A splendid boy who always works very well. Training is missing but he will most likely be from the match", Inzaghi said in the press conference on the eve.
"We have hierarchies,
due to what happened Milan will no longer be the captain but we talked about it calmly with the club.
First Handanovic, then Brozovic, D'Ambrosio and Lautaro.
He will choose himself from time to time,” he added.
HERE MILAN
The coach: "The derby is a great opportunity, we want to seize it" MILAN Stefano Arosio (ANSA) - MILAN, 04 FEB - There has been too much talk about the empty part of the glass, now is the time to think about the full half: this is why the derby , for Stefano Pioli, it is above all "a great opportunity and we want to demonstrate that we know how to seize it".
A sip of optimism, after the bitterness swallowed throughout the month of January.
A month of negative results that have reduced the rankings and self-esteem, attracting "non-excessive criticism, which in fact fits all" on the Rossoneri.
On the eve of the match against Inter, Pioli doesn't hide: "When things don't go well, only the mediocre avoid questioning themselves. From a difficult phase like this, I come out with one more conviction:
I don't train a normal group, which would have had very different attitudes.
I have a special group, the union of intentions we have here at Milanello proves it". Milan winner in recent months. "It's absolutely not like that", Pioli points out. However, he reiterates: "Now, however, we have to prove it". The analysis of the coach starts from the resources within the group. Who dribbles without hesitation the temptation to move attention elsewhere: "Inter annoyed by the Skriniar case?
I don't know and I don't care" and "There is a rule in football: whoever wins celebrates, whoever loses keeps quiet.
It's up to us to try to change the order of things."
