the background of Inter-Milan-Corriere.it

If they weren’t bitter rivals for a game worth a career, Pegs could seek advice from Inzaghi: how do you approach a night like this? The difference between Inter and Milan almost all of it in the very delicate first minutes, decisive for the Nerazzurri, fatal, however, for the Rossoneri. Simone, the man of the finals, the king of Cups, who took the lead seven times out of eight in the Milan derbies. Especially in the last three derby games, which ended with the victory of the Inter fans, the flying start of the Inzaghiani dug an unbridgeable furrow, turning into a real watershed.
In Riyadh, in the Super Cup, Inter scored the first two goals of the final 3-0 win in 21 minutes. but the score could have been immediately rounder if Tatarusanustarter due to the injury of Maignanhad failed to thwart at least two other serious threats against the same snipers.

In the first leg of the Euro derby, Inter outdid themselves, escaping to 2-0 in 11 minutes, hitting the post with Calhanoglu and building at least two more chances, so much so that in the end the fans left San Siro with a bitter aftertaste, almost a regret: we left Milan alive. More balanced, but only in terms of results, was the championship match on 5 February, which finished 1-0 thanks to a goal by Lautaro
Martinez in the 34th minute, obviously from the first half. But if you go and watch that match again, you’ll realize that the Nerazzurri dominated until halftime was total, just think that in the first quarter of an hour Inzaghi’s team recorded 85 percent ball possession. If Milan want to have any hope of flying to Istanbul tonight, they must move quickly. It’s the Devil’s turn to jump all over the match.

Pioli is trying to recover Leao, but it is unrealistic to think that the Portuguese does everything by himself. In this long and anxious eve, Pioli must strike the right chords and find a way to reverse the trend of this 2023. The approach will be decisive, tonight more than ever. If Milan steal the idea from Inter and are able to score a goal quickly without conceding, the semi-final could come back into the balance. Inter, at the moment, has all the aces in hand: a stronger, more serene, more convinced, in better shape team. A team that only knows how to win. Seven out of seven in the last month. From hell of fear to heaven. Simone seemed on the verge of being exonerated and today glued to his bench, more than Pioli. There is no story on paper. But it is precisely this aura of superiority that must alarm the favourite.
