Gallery: ‘Milan beautiful, Inter defenceless’ – Today’s front pages of Italian papers

AC Milan clinched a convincing 6-1 win against Vicenza last night and thus concluded their official pre-season tour. It was the perfect ending for the Rossoneri but the same cannot be said for their city rivals Inter. 

Stefano Pioli and his men were caught off guard at the start of yesterday’s game as they conceded after just 20 seconds. They came to life afterwards, though, and really showed Vicenza why they won the Scudetto.

Inter, meanwhile, lost 2-4 to Villarreal and are continuing to display some worrying signs ahead of the season opener. Something Gazzetta Dello Sport picked up on: “Milan you are beautiful. Goals galore against Vicenza but Tonali KO, he will miss Udinese. Inter you are defenceless. Four goals conceded vs. Villarreal and the defence under scrutiny.”

Corriere Dello Sport had a similar angle: “Inter, what a slap in the face. The defence collapses and sets off the alarm. Milan-show, 6-1 against Vicenza. Pioli anxious over Tonali and Messias.”

Tuttosport wrote the following: “Goals and problems for Milan. Tonali and Messias stop due to injuries.”

  1. Is there any specific reason behind the fact that we didn’t face any big team in pre-season?
    Why does Juve and Inter played against top clubs and we choose teams that one barely knows?

    1. Yeah Gazetta is overreacting, inter can’t play football playing against teams that where in preparation for CL rounds now and a semi final CL team last season. With all the respect to those teams but we only played Koln, Hungarian farmers, a poor Marseille side and Vicenza. Just be calm, those teams weren’t fantastic and Inter plays with this back line from the first minute since yesterday and Handanovic who was poor so maybe they will play their new keeper from Ajax

  2. Thank God Tonali is injured we must sign a capable DM and Messias is also injured I feel we need a good RW like Ziyech tho

    1. Even if Messias and Saelemaekers both injured, Milan won’t sign Ziyech. There are CDK and Florenzi who can play as RW.

    2. You cannot just buy player because player injury 1-2 week. It is very awful in term of finance contract 5 years player to replace player that injury only 1-2 week. Tonali injured ? We still have pobega ,bennacer,krunic ,bakayoko or new DMF . Junior injured? We still have CDK & brahim can play RW and dont forget lord saladmaker

      1. Tonali on luultavasti pelikunnossa niin kuin Messiaskin. Eiköhän kannattaisi varmistaa parhaiden sopimusten uusimisen loppu rahoilla ja ottaa kuivalla lainalla pelaajia varalle, jos tarvitsee. Leaoun sopimuksen uusiminen pitäisi olla ensimmäinen asia, minkä M&M tekee. Ja eiköhän toi kyseinen pari valjakko, tiedä paremmin kuin yksikään meistä faneista. Asioista voi olla montaa mieltä, se kuuluu demokratiaan. Mutta tosiasioita on turha kiistää. Ei hirveän moni uskonut viime vuonna voittoon. En minäkään, pakko myöntää. Odotin että menee vielä muutama vuosi kasvaa mestariksi. Tosin odotin että uusi omistus suhde olisi avannut enemmän raha hanoja mutta näillä mennään. Scudettoa uusiminen olisi valtava juttu. Vaikka en Pelaajana Lukaku:sta pidäkään niin jos hän on yhtään samanlainen monsteri kuin viimeksi niin pulassa on jokainen puolustus. Juven uusi armeija ja Roman dybala ja winjdandum tekevät heistä tosi vahvoja. Uskon että meidän olis kannattanut napata parin vuoden sopimuksella winaljdum mutta edelleenkin luotan että Maldini on kuningas myös kulisseissa. Joka vuosi vahvempi. Napoli tekee varmasti vielä ostoja ja kenties Atalanta ja Lazio. Lisäksi riittääkö rosteri mestareiden liigaan kun loukkaantumisia kertyy. Agressiivinen pelityyli on mahtavaa katsojana ja fanina seurata peliä. Mutta lisää myös loukkaantumisia. Jatkoon pääsy taitaisi tuoda 8 numeroisen summan euroja kassaan. Forza Milan!
