April 2, 2025 (modification at 23:03) – MILAN

In life, to postpone, sometimes, it doesn’t hurt. It allows you to recur to the next appointment more focused and safe. Milan and Inter end the first round by offering any type of scenario in view of the second: on April 23, judging from how it went this time, everything will happen. The devil can still serenely hope to grab the Europa League along the shortest way, the Nerazzurri can equally serenely imagine taking revenge on the slaps of Riad. Al Meazza ends 1-1 with goals from Abraham and Calhanoglu, and the Rossoneri return home with the awareness of being unbeaten against the league leaders: two wins and two draws (from situations of advantage), as the ball from the parts of Milanello is strange. A game that, at least, returns to the devil a little of that soul lost for some time. The second round will also arrive at the end of a month that Inter – between the championship and the Champions League thrown by Milan in the Wound – will spend in total apnea. It will be an important factor

the choices

Conceiçao confirmed the assumptions of the eve: Thiaw resumed his place next to cage, Reijnders is climbed next to Fofana, Pulisic was centralized by yielding his right to Jimenez, this time he put his face immediately and Abraham was preferred again to Gimenez. Musah absent of the last hour for a feverish attack. Inzaghi also did not reserve surprises: the return of Vrij preferred to Acerbi and Frattesi in MkhiTaryan, with Calhanoglu in front of the defense and stretcher on the center -left. In front, without Lautaro and Taremi, space in Thuram and Correa.

management

So much softness in the first twenty minutes, to be a derby. The curves are soft -some unexpected hole in the second ring, no banners or coreo as per waits, North shut up for the first twenty minutes -, soft the approach of both teams. As if in the head there was immediately the idea of ​​the race plan strictly linked to one hundred and eighty minutes and not in ninety. Inter with the ball between the feet, Milan waiting to start again, and in this respect the bookie would not even have accepted the games: too obvious. AC Milan for some time also behaves against opponents with much less quarters of nobility, let alone in the presence of Inter. In front, however, the devil did not find himself a team that tried to venture immediately, but in the first part of the race he mostly limited himself to a quite serene management, trying from time to time some more bad lunges. In short, more Inter, but without overdoing it. In the heart of the field, or where the most important task of the evening for Milan was to choke the sources of the game of others, Reijanders took charge of Frattesi (visibly the weak link of the Nerazzurri median), while on the other side Barella tried – with alternate fortunes – to play wide, sometimes very large, alternating raids from pure mezzala and taking care of the first stake.

rescue

Milan sought the bands a lot. Jimenez caught a lot, but he managed to keep Carlos Augustus low. On the opposite side, Leao kept Darmian practically from the first minute (sitting in dribbling after 50 seconds) and the Theao was also revised. To report an infido right of Correa (9 ‘) and a rescue in the very small area of ​​Abraham on De Vrij. Then, in the middle of the round, without a true because, Milan turned on. CHA stopped waiting and started managing the ball. The devil turned on and the game also turned on. The Apex Rossoneri at 26 ‘, when Leao freed himself again of Darmian and shot a left -wing care from a few meters: prodigious reflection of Martinez, who then repeated himself anticipating Abraham launched towards the door. At the end, Inter with your hands in the hair after seeing frattese hitting soft head with a good portion of Porta Rossonera unguarded.

safety

The recovery began with a bang. Minute number 47, Abraham receives from Jimenez, a fake body is invented that freezes bisseck and crosses in the distant corner. Goals from center forward in purity. Milan ahead and Inter who reacts with breath there. Too much breath and too little lucidity despite the fact that there is still a time to play. Barella takes her hand but Milan closes with a good language property. Maignan that dribbled dribbles in the small area is the sign of a newfound security which, however, is crumbled by Calhanoglu in a quarter of an hour: it is Correa to trigger the right of the ex, powerful until you want but quite central, on which Maignan does not make us a great impression. Meanwhile, Inzaghi and Conceiçao change a little faces: first inside Mkhitryan (Frattesi), Pavard (Bisseck) and Zaleski (Carlos Augustus), then Gimenez (Abraham), Joao Felix (Pulisic) and Sottil (Jimenez). It remains an open challenge because Milan tries to report above and Inter sniffs the scent of the second paw. There is more Nerazzurri than Rossoneri in the last wedge of the match and Maignan rehabilitates widely: first walls Zalesski face to face (80 ‘) and then flies to the wood of Mkhigharyan destined under the crossbar. On the other hand, a right -footed leao starts the illusion of the goal of the month but it is, in fact, an illusion. It will talk about it in three weeks.
