Ahead of this weekend’s Derby D’Italia between Inter and Juventus, Gazzetta dello Sport have taken a look at the different stages the two teams find themselves at following the appointment of new managers over the Summer.
“Inter is already its emanation: they emit an idea of fanatical compactness, of mystical unity of purpose, of religious faith in itself. Juventus, on the other hand, is still a work in progress. Their boundless potential could cross with the visions of Sarri, who, if they follow him becomes a detonator, or unconcerned in his diversity, because it is clear that he and Juve have not yet amalgamated,” the report explains.
The two clubs also have the small matter of competing in the Champions League before they lock horns for the first time this season.
“It will be interesting to see which Inter will take on Barcelona and how many players will be set aside for Sunday. Alexis Sanchez certainly won’t play on Sunday after his sending off and he has already apologised to the team for this.
“Things are however different for Sarri. If he were to choose to play Higuain tomorrow and Dybala on Saturday, how do you say who serves the team in the best way given that none of them are poor players. His vision, among other things, is to get them to play together, the aforementioned duo playing together with Ronaldo. But first he has has to defeat Conte.”
