Two wins in the Derby Della Madonina in a single month is something that gives Inter the right to call themselves the best Milan team at the moment. After a convincing triumph in the final of the Super Cup in Riyadh (3:0), the Nerazzurri defeated Milan as hosts and definitely became alone at the second position. Simone Inzaghi was delighted with his players’ display, despite the fact that the victory was not as convincing as a month ago…Loud and clear: Lautaro takes Inter high over woeful archrival Milan“It was without doubt a great performance, I congratulated the lads. They were determined, concentrated, focused, we absolutely dominated and winning the derby twice in 20 days was something we wanted to share with our fans. Now we look forward with confidence, we have Lukaku and Brozovic back after four months, despite missing them we still reached the Champions League knockouts, the Coppa Italia semi-final and are second in Serie A” Inzaghi told DAZN.Can anyone stop the killer duo? Osimhen and Kvaradona keep on terrorizing Serie AFormer Lazio coach told the media that he was expecting some sort of surprise from the Milan coach (Pioli changed to 3-5-2 formation), but also revealed the only regret he had after the derby.“To be honest, there was talk for a few days that Milan might shake things up, so I concentrated on my own team and our shape. We played very well against Atalanta on Tuesday, I reiterated to the team that it all depended on what we did and how we approached it. The only negative was that we dominated and still left it open until the end with a one-goal lead. We could’ve been more precise in the finishing and the final ball, but after all we did come off a tiring Coppa Italia quarter-final with Atalanta on Tuesday” said buoyant Inzaghi.4 – Considering all competitions, #ACMilan have lost four games in a row for the first time since the period between January and February 2017 under Vincenzo Montella. Tunnel. #InterMilan #derbymilan— OptaPaolo (@OptaPaolo) February 5, 2023 Euphoria is certainly not the word to describe the Milan locker room. After applying the new formation, the Rossoneri ended the match with only 26 percent possession of the ball, and the man who always insisted that his Milan would play beautiful football made a radical decision that did not pay off, but didn’t regret it afterwards. “Clearly, we wanted to have a more solid attitude in defence and sat deeper. Unfortunately, we were once again unprepared on a set play, otherwise we had worked well as a team. We didn’t do much attacking in the first half, but that was certainly better after the break. I don’t regret it, because considering all I saw during the week and in this match, the positions I wanted to take and the shape of the team, this was the right choice. This is not throwing away all the work we’ve achieved, it is realising there are moments when you need to take a different approach to get back to being competitive” explained coach Stefano Pioli.SERIE A – Matchday 21Saturday Cremonese – Lecce 0-2 (0-0)/Baschirotto 58, Strefezza 59/Roma – Empoli 2-0 (2-0)/Ibanez 2, Abraham 6/Sassuolo – Atalanta 1-0 (0-0)/Lauriente 55/Sunday Spezia – Napoli 0-3 (0-0)/Kvaratskhelia 47 pen, Osimhen 69, 73/Torino – Udinese 1-0 (0-0)/Karamoh 49/Fiorentina – Bologna 1-2 (1-1)/Saponara 19 – Orsolini 14 pen, Posch 47/Inter – Milan 1-0 (1-0)/Lautaro 34/Monday 20.30: (3.90) Verona (3.50) Lazio (2.05)22.45: (1.85) Monza (3.50) Sampdoria (5.00)Tuesday 22.45: (6.00) Salernitana (3.80) Juventus (1.60)***odds are subject to change***
