The derby tonight between Inter and AC Milan is “a jackpot: who wins turns”, according to Rome based newspaper il Corriere dello Sport, with the paper describing how the winner of tonight’s derby will set themselves up for a strong run of games.
The report details how the derby tonight resembles a must-win game last in the season, despite how early the match is in the season, and suggests that coach Antonio Conte understands the importance maintaining momentum after a perfect start in the league.
Conte will be forced to forget the Nerazzurri’s disappointing 1-1 draw against Slavia Prague in the Champions League earlier this week as he looks to take part in the first Milanese derby of his career.
AC Milan coach Marco Giampaolo doesn’t have a Plan B, according to the report, although the Rossoneri management aren’t worried about that and instead are just hoping for the victory.
Finally, the report highlights how the Nerazzurri are set to use most of their summers’ acquisitions, namely Stefano Sensi, Diego Godin and Nicolo Barella, whereas the Rossoneri have parked most of their signings like Theo Hernandez on the bench.
