We are just two days away from the Derby della Madonnina between AC Milan and Inter, which takes place on Sunday night at San Siro.
Back in November, Milan continued their brilliant recent record against their city rivals as they beat Inter 1-0 in the first derby of the season. The only goal of the game came through Christian Pulisic early in the second half as he buried a rebound from Alexis Saelemaekers’ shot.
The Rossoneri had Mike Maignan to thank, as he made stunning saves from Lautaro Martinez and a Hakan Calhanoglu penalty to keep a clean sheet. Since then, Inter have won 14 out of 15 league games to open up a 10-point gap at the top, so Milan have it all to do to secure a double.
The pre-derby plan
As MilanNews report, on Saturday – the day before the round 28 game – head coach Massimiliano Allegri will speak at a press conference at Milanello. He will answer questions from journalists attending the Rossoneri training center starting at 12:00 CET.
The team will train in the afternoon and remain at the Carnago-based training complex overnight. The pre-game retreat is something that was brought back into practise this season, to promote a togetherness before games and remove any external distractions.
On Sunday there will be the usual finishing touches in a lighter session, followed by lunch together at Milanello. Then it will be time for an afternoon rest, a snack and finally, in the afternoon, the team will head via coach towards San Siro for the game.
