Tonight’s Derby della Madonnina between AC Milan and Inter is scheduled for 20:45 and according to the latest reports, Paulo Fonseca is preparing a significant change to the starting XI. The Nerazzurri, meanwhile, will continue with their recipe for success.
Fonseca is under pressure to lead Milan to a victory tonight and as claimed by Tuttosport earlier this morning, it has to be a convincing win as well. Of course, this is no easy task against a side like Inter, especially not since they have won the last six derbies.
According to today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below), Fonseca is expected to switch to a 4-4-2 formation with Tammy Abraham and Alvaro Morata starting up front. Matteo Gabbia will also take the place of Strahinja Pavlovic, who started the last two games.
Davide Calabria is injured, meaning Emerson Royal will play from start, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek will be on the bench as a result of the formation change. As for Inter, there isn’t really much to say as Simone Inzaghi will continue to rely on the usual team.
Predicted Milan XI (4-4-2): Maignan; Emerson, Gabbia, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Pulisic, Fofana, Reijnders, Leao; Morata, Abraham.
Predicted Inter XI (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro, Thuram.
It’s more like 424.
Let’s go for it!
Pioli also made bold changes from time to time. Always a disaster. Fonseca is even less tactically adept than the bald big P.
What’s more than disaster? Catastrophe?
Why not playing 433 or 4123? Fofana has shown that he is good in vertical pass. He can be a regista. So Reijnders and RLC can play in their best positions, mezzala. Fofana as a regista will also protect our defense more.
4-0 Inter.
I hope and believe this formation will suite Almighty Ac milan tonight. This will not give Dimarco and Dumfries/ Pavarotti nor Acerbi to rest till 90 minutes. Go! Go!! Forza Ac milan. I care more on Players than Fans suggestion/ opinion. Irrespective of any coach,as long as the Players are ready to Play nothing much. Example: Gasperini was Inter coach before and was sacked 🤔. Same to Benitez!! Same to Spalletti. But,they all Succeed in other Club sides. ATLANTA,NAPOLI,LIVERPOOL.
This could go badly wrong, inter have a 5 man midfield wing backs who run a lot…if Leao doesn’t put a shirt in we’ll get overrun…the fullbacks will get pulled all over the place and we’ll get battered
They have a 5 man midfield and we decided to empty ours. Pulisic might help defensively, Leao doesn’t.
