Francesco Pio Esposito will start ahead of the returning Ange-Yoan Bonny in Sunday’s Milan derby, with Cristian Chivu restoring his strongest available Inter lineup after rotating heavily for Tuesday’s Coppa Italia semi-final against Como.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Chivu reverts to his trusted 3-5-2 system after the forced experiment with a 3-4-2-1 at the Sinigaglia.
All the key players rested in midweek return from the start, Sommer, Akanji, Luis Henrique, Barella, Zielinski, Dimarco and Thuram all come back into the XI.
AC Milan Vs Inter Milan – Bonny On The Bench As Pio Esposito Set To Start
Bonny has recovered from his calf issue but will have to settle for a place on the bench.
Hakan Calhanoglu starts in the deep-lying playmaker role, with Lautaro Martinez the only guaranteed absentee following his ongoing injury.
Bastoni returns to the back three after serving his suspension, completing a defence that will be at full strength for the biggest game of the season so far.
Probable Inter XI (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Luis Henrique, Barella, Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Dimarco; Esposito, Thuram.
Instead of management hiring a good coach and buying good players like Lookman fans have to wait until Chivu gets good if ever and rely on a 20 year old striker. Especially in a World cup year where trophies are important fans want to see players from their clubs win Ballon dor or at least attempt to. But with Inter there is no ambition so here we go failure after failure. I am calling on Marotta to resign immediately for he have turned Inter into a family circus.
You must be kidding right? No other coach could deliver more than Chivu did for us atm, except UCL, we are on track for Scudetto and Coppa and playing attacking football.
Beside getting the trophies, we would like to enjoy watching our team . And now, imo we don’t.
