On Tuesday the second leg of the Coppa Italia: the Nerazzurri must win after the 0-0 first leg
Inter must win, Milan can settle for a draw with goals. Yes, because the Italian Cup has remained in the past, here we still have the rule of the away goal that in Europe has already been archived this season: in February, Inter Milan proposed in the League to adapt to the UEFA rules without wait for next season, the request did not go through the rejection of the directors of Anamely Paolo Scaroni (Milan), Luca Percassi (Atalanta), Maurizio Setti (Verona) and Tommaso Giulini (Cagliari), and therefore Tuesday evening we start again from 0-0 at Milan’s “home” on 1 March. For the critics – and for many fans – that was the worst match for Inzaghi’s Inter. Or perhaps, even though on balance it ended in a draw, that was just the best moment for the Rossoneri and the hardest for the Nerazzurri, still burned by the knockout in the other championship derby. Now the situation has quite changed: Inzaghi regained momentum, goals and victories (in the league)Pioli maintains an armored defense but has instead lost that advantage in the standings previously acquired due to the low productivity of his forwards.

But these last considerations apply to the championship fight. The Italian Cup is something else. Those who today see it as a stumbling block in the Italian sprint do not understand, or underestimate, the value of the derby and the propulsive thrust that the passage to the final will be able to give right in the final sprint of the championship. That’s why, despite the match against Roma on the horizon, Inter who will try to snatch the next round on Tuesday will be the best possible. And with this in mind, Inzaghi will be able to count on all his men, even on Sticks that with the Spezia he accused only of cramps, come on Correa who was seen on the bench with the ice pack on his thigh but only as a precaution and on The free who at the Peak played the final minutes of the match, proving to have overcome the little fatigue he had with Verona. Lautaro paws in front, Provedel’s goal was an injection of confidence. As happened to Sanchez. It would not be surprising if the two of them started to start trying to unhinge the bunker in front of Maignan. Today, however, the work in Appiano will give further indications.
