Messias tried midfielder. On the right one between Diaz, Saelemaekers and the Croatian. Safe defense with Kjaer and Kalulu
Ransom target. Milan is preparing for a mini revolution in view of the match against Inter. New module, new interpreters, different ballots, the usual certainties. Above all Giroud, Leao, Tonali and Captain Calabria. Chapter absent: besides the injured Bennacer, there will be no Dest, Tomori, Florenzi, Ibra and Maignan.
Defence
—
The first certainty is K2. Pioli will restart from the central Kjaer-Kalulu tandem. The Gabbia experiment, lined up as a starter in the defeat against Sassuolo, was not successful, so Pioli will start again from the Dane and the former Lyon. All in front of Tatarusanu, called to redeem the 5 slaps received by Sassuolo, the 4 by Lazio at the Olimpico and the three by the Nerazzurri. Finally, on the sides, Theo and Calabria. In defense safe choices.
Doubts
—
The first news is the form: it will be 4-3-3. Next to Tonali and Krunic, Pobega is the favorite. It would be the first derby as a starter after the various derby games played between the Allievi and the Primavera. However, between Thursday and Friday Pioli tried Messias as a mezzala, a role already held in Crotone with Giovanni Stroppa. It can be a tactical solution in the ongoing game, but it’s not excluded that Pioli could field him from the start. Also keep an eye on Vranckx: the Belgian has only played from the 1st minute against Turin in the Italian Cup. Secluded part. On the right wing there are three players for a place, however: Saelemaekers, Diaz and Rebic (with Messias in the background). Up front, space for Giroud, while Leao will play on the left. Both scored in the first leg derby. Pioli hopes it bodes well.
