As Tuttosport notes (via MilanNews), Inter are not – with all due respect – Spezia or Crotone. Milan will approach the derby in excellent form having won all six of their competitive games to begin the season including three in Serie A and three clean sheets, but this will undoubtedly be a much bigger test than anything so far.
After 19 consecutive games without defeat in all competitions, Milan have turned into a machine that is moving at a very high pace. The paper notes how it has been a long path which has its roots on 9 October last year, when Maldini and Boban decided to sack Giampaolo and entrust Stefano Pioli, who has brought a renewed confidence to a young group.
Milan are progressing a lot in terms of growth and with Zlatan Ibrahimovic – who should be back for the game – they have a new mentality, but the derby in that sense will be the perfect examination.
