Against Inter, the Portuguese coach should propose a formation very similar to the one that beat Juve. Rafa is ready but should enter during the match
The anti-Inter Milan will resemble the anti-Juve Milan. Not a sister team but with different points of contact. Immediately the most important topic for the fans: Rafa Leao. On the 10th he trained with the team for the first time, from start to finish. Yes, he can play, even if the plans for him include benching and entering the second half. He certainly doesn’t have 90 minutes, more likely he will play 20 if useful to the cause. Then the most interesting news: Alex Jimenez could play on the right and not on the left. After all, that is his most natural position.

Milan will confirm the defensive line: Emerson Royal, Tomori, Thiaw, Theo. In the middle of the pitch, with Fofana and Reijnders not touching, Musah should steal Bennacer’s place. In the semi-final his entry from the bench was decisive. Between the two, however, a good challenge for a shirt. Jimenez, who was eliminated in the semi-finals due to a physical problem and was feverish, trained with the team and can be there. If he really played on the right, it would also be valuable to watch Dimarco closely, who on the wing is always dangerous for everyone. Milan would thus resemble a 4-2-3-1 with Reijnders as an attacking midfielder.
ON THE 9TH SHE DIED

And in attack? Well, there’s no question about Alvaro Morata in attack. He’s a man of finals, he knows how to play when the ball is hot and he has the movements and readings of a first-tier player. He can send everyone through, as he did – okay, daringly… – with Musah in the semi-final. And Abraham, ready for the second half. It’s not the match plan of the championship, when Milan beat Inter, but here everything changes: we are in Riyadh and not at San Siro, in January and not in September, there is Conceiçao and not Fonseca. Certainties change quickly.
