TOWARDS INTER-BENFICA
At San Siro, a match that can guide the Nerazzurri’s European path
02 ott 2023
The match is one they have the appearance of a crossroads: he’s betterIntergiven the away draw on his debut against Real Sociedad, for the Benfica there is more pressure, in light of the home defeat against Salzburg, but it goes without saying that at San Siro the Nerazzurri and the Portuguese – the two teams initially considered favourites, at least on paper, in the Champions League grouping – play each other an important step in their respective European journey. Of course, the result of the other match between the Austrians and the Basques will also have an impact, but in the meantime whoever wins at San Siro – a draw could be indigestible for both – will be able to corner their most feared opponent.
Inter trains in the late morning, after which there will be an opportunity to listen to the coach
Inzaghi: a refreshed team has returned from Salerno, driven by its captain, with decidedly less toxins in its legs and head than the one that stumbled against Sassuolo in the middle of last week. There are those who have rested and those who have refueled, those who have given further confirmations and those who have removed doubts: Inzaghi will have to give up the solos
Arnautovic (long-term care) e
Frattesi (he should return with Bologna), he hopes to recover
Square (yesterday he worked partly with the group) but having said that, he has essentially had in mind for days who will take the field from the first minute.
The attacking duo is untouchable: Lautaro and Thuram. Who else? one might wonder. But among the others there is only Sanchez, who didn’t do any harm in Salerno but who takes a step backwards in the Champions League. Midfield with
Barella, Calhanoglu and Mkhitaryan: both Asllani and Klaassen were not displeased last Saturday, quite the opposite, especially the Albanian, but for a match like this you need the very starting players, so to speak. On the outside the rotation to the left is reversed again, with
Dimarco first and then Carlos Augustowhile on the right it is difficult to think that the excellent form of the team is not being exploited
Dumfries to the detriment of the ductility of
Darmian. But the same thing always applies here too: the reasoning must be done on the entire match, on the ninety minutes. It is in defense that there is more room for doubt. But the return of
Sticks it seems certain, as is the confirmation of
Pavard, the ballot remains open for Acerbi (favourite) and De Vrij. In any case, Inzaghi’s conference will be held at 3pm: if not certainties, then certainly indications are expected.
