Milan is preparing, the fifth derby of 2023 is now upon us. And for the Milan they are hunting for redemption after the defeat in the four previous matches between the Super Cup, the championship and the Champions League. The attention to detail is maximum, even the smallest can make the difference and for this Stefano Pegs work to leave nothing to chance. And for the coach there is an obvious critical issue to deal with: the defence.
‘UNPREDICT’ DEFENSE – The disqualification di Fikayo Tomori after the expulsion against Roma (double yellow) it was already an important tile, but during the break another one was added: Pierre’s injury Rabbit, designated replacement for the British. A muscle problem in training which forced the French ex-Lyon player to work separately in recent days and who will be re-evaluated with instrumental tests in the next few hours, but the recovery for theInter it is highly unlikely. All clues therefore lead to Simon Kjaer from the first minute next to Malick Thiawa track also confirmed by the German on the sidelines of the Gentleman Fair Play award: “The coach decides who plays with whom. Kjaer? I think he is a very expert player, very good, who talks a lot and I feel very comfortable playing with him. I hope he feels comfortable playing with me too.” It will be an unprecedented coupleif we consider that the two played together only on two other occasions last season, Cremonese in November 2022 (0-0) and Tottenham in February 2023 (1-0): in both cases, however, the Rossoneri rearguard was lined up with a 3-man linefor Kjaer and Thiaw it would therefore be the first time in a 4-man line with the arduous task of stemming the gusts of Lautaro Martinez and his teammates.
GIROUD ON A MISSION – A defense to be reinvented, while from the waist up the Devil you shouldn’t see any particular changes. Loftus-Cheek e Reijnders confirmed with Krunic, ahead of Rafael Lion e Pulisic to support an Olivier Giroud who overcame the ankle problem suffered in the national team by returning to train with his teammates. For the Frenchman then, there is a double personal mission: not only the challenge with Lautaro Martinez who now leads the scoring charts with 5 goals (4 for the Rossoneri center forward), Giroud aims to score in all the first four matches of the season, which hasn’t happened at Milan since 1998/99 (Oliver Bierhoff).
THE EVE EVE PROGRAMME – On Friday 15 September the Rossoneri will take to the pitch at Milanello in the morning for finishing training. At 14also in the Carnago sports center, is scheduled for Press conference by Stefano Pioli.
