Tonight’s derby between Inter and AC Milan will also be a battle between Romelu Lukaku and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.
The report details how the 27-year-old Belgian is a core part of coach Antonio Conte’s system at Inter, with the player being a key aspect of the offensive phase.
Against Lazio, Lukaku worked harder for the team than the team worked for him, showing his selflessness and ability to involve his teammates.
Ibrahimovic has helped the Rossoneri turn their fate around since his arrival in January, being a strong leader on and off the pitch.
Tonight’s derby will be a duel between the duo, as both look to drive their teams to an ever important three points.
Both players scored in the derby back in February, but Lukaku had the last laugh as the Nerazzurri walked away 4-2 winners.
