The Milan derby returns to red and black. After six consecutive victories for Inter, of course, it was a late goal from Matteo Gabbia that brought Milan back to success in the derby.
And he did perhaps in the most difficult time for the Devil, when it seemed that Fonseca was now close to his job if not more.
Instead, it is only the creative move of the Portuguese coach, who chooses an offensive 4-2-4 from the start, linking Leao, Morata, Abraham and Pulisic together, that creates the basis for the victory of the Rossoneri, thus saving the was there before. Mountain of Roma.
It is true that Gabbia’s late strike was needed to win the three points, but Milan deserved the victory in the 90′ with a more determined and decisive performance. We have rarely seen Inter in such trouble, always at a low pace even when they fell behind at the start due to Pulisic’s goal and unable to accelerate even later, after Dimarco’s equaliser. So much so that Milan have always been more dangerous and more stable, worthy of winning three points which not only strengthens the bench of Fonseca but allows them to catch up with their cousins in the standings -3 behind Torino, the solitary leaders.
The best approach at the beginning is the Rossoneri’s. So much so that the Rossoneri took advantage after 10′ in fact, Pulisic stole the ball from Mkhitaryan in midfield and flew towards the goal without anyone being able to stop him, tip-toe to expected to beat Pavard and Sommer. The conceded goal seems to wake up Inter, who try to pick up the pace, but struggle to find the classic combinations thanks to Milan who are very tight and orderly At the first chance the Rossoneri get their attention, however, Inter strike: Lautaro finds the right gap between Emerson Royal and Gabbia to pick out Dimarco, left-footed on the way and the flat derby again. The Nerazzurri take back control of the games, despite many errors and mistakes.
And it takes a great Maignan to keep the tie with a great diving save from Thuram’s cross, and then Emerson Royal saves from Dimarco’s rebound just before the break. As in the first half, also at the beginning of the second half it was Milan who made a better shot from the blocks. A quick overlap leads to Emerson Royal crossing from the back, Leao jumps over Dumfries but Sommer dives to save himself. Shortly afterwards the Swiss took a great risk in the preparation, and almost expected Abraham to leave. Inter tried to play the game, but they could not create any danger; in fact, the Rossoneri came close to taking the lead again with Reijnders, Leao and Abraham. When the draw seems to be the final result, however, comes the Rossoneri coup: a free kick from the right by Reijnders, Gabbia all alone finds the right shot which slipped behind Sommer, who ‘ causing the whole bench to explode in joy as they find themselves on the pitch. In the final, Inter tried but without conviction, in fact it was Okafor who had the ball to make it 3-1 by kicking high one-on-one with Sommer. At the final whistle Milan are delighted, with the team celebrating under the curve as Lautaro and his teammates come out with their heads bowed. And San Siro, after six Inter derbies, returns to red and black.
