“If they don’t win this time either …”. Inter’s litany began for days, crying over their reserves that will not be available in the derby. Accustomed to winning for whole decades, they are well versed in their hands and feet … Do not fall into the same trap, because historically the “bauscia” (the braggart) are them. It is one of their characteristics that has never been prescribed. I have always preferred them beautiful loads on the eve, because humble and humble become much, much more dangerous.
Moreover, I am absolutely certain that to Pioli and the Rossoneri, Inter absences do not matter that much except to express solidarity in this difficult period for everyone, in terms of health. The incipit seemed indispensable to me to immediately clarify that Inter are objectively favored, beyond the superstitions. Built to win the Scudetto, it has a frame of greater experience and physical depth, with more players – than Milan – with decisive shots. And if, as in last season’s return derby, they hit 3 out of 5 Sunday shots … He has a respectable European path behind him, even if far from the great Champions, and ultimately has the resources to make up for some gaps even if only temporary.
On the other hand, Milan has grown in mentality, attitude, self-esteem and continuity: all gaps that have dragged on for at least five years and now seem to have finally been resolved. He still has to improve the technical figure and the habit of certain games, but what is happening after the arrival of Pioli first and then Ibrahimovic gives hope for something good and a great game that can finally break the spell. It’s time to get the train back on the tracks of history. Believing it is very different than being sure.
Marcello Lippi, on the other hand, is still sure, after 17 years, that Juve would have won the final in Manchester with Nedved who was disqualified. Let them believe it. I only remember that on Tuesday, that evening at Old Trafford, Milan finished training before the Bianconeri, who they crossed as they left the pitch. It was then that Seedorf went to Lippi and shook his hand: “Mister, I’m very sorry.” The Juventus coach looked at him surprised and replied: “For what?” Seedorf smiled: “For tomorrow night, because we win.” End.
About Juventus. I’m sorry, but this time – without necessarily assuming the role of Pontius Pilate – I don’t see any fault in the attitude regarding the cancellation of the match against Napoli. It was the Campania club that caused the blast, breaking the protocol of football, and it is right that you pay. Without illusions: the story is not over, indeed it will continue for a long time, and since we are in Italy you will see that a way will be found to put a piece here and another there. And Juve-Napoli will be played, perhaps in the spring, when the virus may have finally defeated it, but our way of thinking and being … certainly not yet.
