20:29 – Inter, it is forbidden to underestimate
(Paolo Tomaselli, sent to Genoa) Considering that in January the only points lost (5) were those against Monza and Empoli, Inzaghi’s team is certainly not in a position to underestimate the calendar and has no alternatives to victory, even to get to the double challenge with Porto in the conditions ideals.
20:25 – The official formations
These are the official lineups:
Sampdoria — Audero; Murillo, Nuytinck, Amione; Zanoli, Cuisance, Winks, Augello; Djuricic; Gabbiadini, Lammers. Coach Stankovic.
Inter – Onana; Skriniar, De Vrij, Acerbi; Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Gosens; Lukaku, Lautaro. Allentore Inzaghi
19:41 – Samp in the mirror
(Paolo Tomaselli, sent to Genoa) The two great absentees of the last few months should be at the start tonight at the former Stankovic’s Sampdoria, still alive, but injured by the 98th-minute equalizer in Monza in the last match. For the Serbian coach there is the temptation to play on target, switching to a 3-5-2. Newcomer Jesé Rodriguez is expected to start on the bench.
Jesé Rodriguez at Sampdoria, ex Real Madrid and Psg: parties, abandoned son, his wife
At Inter, with Brozo in control, Calhanoglu will return as a midfielder, but what matters is that the Croatian will have to raise his football level immediately to win the competition from the Turkish player: in the first month of the championship, the staid control had been a ballast that immediately slowed down the pace. Another of the “latecomers”, namely Gosens, could have one of the rare opportunities today as owner.
7.39 pm – “Favourable” calendar
(Paolo Tomaselli, sent to Genoa) Sampdoria, Udinese, Porto, Bologna, Lecce and Porto again: after bringing the engine to full throttle with the four heavy victories in January (Naples, the derby twice and Atalanta in the Cup) Inzaghi seems to have the ideal calendar ahead of him to manage physical and nervous energy and to complete the break-in of Lukaku (paired with Lautaro), in fact a new signing like Brozovic who, if he plays today, will be the captain in place of Lautaro, given that the criterion used rewards whoever has the most appearances.
19:26 – LU-LA is back: Lukaku from 1′
For the match with the penultimate in the standings, Inzaghi makes a bit of a turnover with respect to the derby won with Milan: in particular, Lu-La, the Lukaku-Lautaro duo, returns from 1′.
