The Euroderby between Milan and Inter that offers a place for the Champions League final on June 10 in Istanbul has arrived. Tomorrow evening, at 21 pm, the lights turn on at San Siro for the semi-final first leg between the Rossoneri and Nerazzurri with the second favorites but with Pioli's formation that has, on its side, history. What is staged is in fact the fifth European derby between Milan and Inter with the Devil unbeaten, two wins and two draws. In addition, Inter have scored just one goal in their previous four, with Oba Oba Martins in the semi-final second leg 20 years ago.
The eve. "Inter favourites? The matches are all stories in themselves, especially the derbies. We do not hide, we know the importance of this match and we want to play it at our best, knowing that it would be a great step that must be made with great determination and aggression." So the Inter coach Simone Inzaghi, on the eve of the match against Milan valid for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final. "We have played seven derbies in these 20 months, they can give us some important ideas, but at the same time we know that every game is different. There will be times when we will be more offensive and others when we will be more defensive - he added - we will have to play a game of great sacrifice, making a run for the teammate will be fundamental. Formations? In midfield and attack I have the possibility to choose, in defense and on the wings I have limited choices: Gosens we do not know if he can be called up and we hope to recover D'Ambrosio".
Stefano Pioli puts the point and clarifies: "I did not say that Inter are favourites. I said it's favored for others." The Rossoneri coach believes in the enterprise and says it clearly: "We think we can eliminate anyone. We did it with Tottenham and Napoli. In the Champions League we didn't have a path of ups and downs, but we did something exceptional. All of us have never played a Champions League final, the motivation is at its best. I tried to convey to the team the happiness of living these moments: it will be a game that will be played over 180 minutes."
