The Nerazzurri have to repair the cracks opened by Giroud’s two goals, the Rossoneri begin to suffer from the pressure. But winning the derby is good for the head (which unlocks the legs)
Stefano Pioli and Simone Inzaghi know it: tonight they will play the most cerebral derby in history, which will have a heavy psychological impact on the championship race. Pioli: “It’s the head that commands the rest”. Inzaghi: “The mental aspect and the motivations will make the difference”. They are right.
