Gazzetta dello Sport have examined how Inter manager Luciano Spalletti led Inter to winning Sunday night’s Milan derby.

“The real winner of the derby was Luciano, who not surprisingly immediately took his personal revenge, with references to the Last Supper to be postponed. The present of the coach has certainly changed: the crisis that could open up is archived, the league position is again comforting, the reigns of the team are in the hands of the manager.

“Spalletti defined the defeat with the Eintracht as ‘the beginning of the derby victory’, because he was able to transform that disappointment into motivation.

To succeed he worked primarily on the psychological front. He is aware that in the Nerazzurri group it is always the first source of triumphs or disasters, so there are no trials after the European elimination, because there was no time for recriminations and corrections, it is better to delete everything, store it in the drawer of the games to forget. This is how he succeeded.

“The winning move came in the shape of playing Vecino in a more advanced role behind Lautaro, between the enemy lines. Gattuso and Milan expected a 4-3-3 but instead they found Vecino behind their midfielders, with lots of space to run into in front.”
