At San Siro ends with a draw the first leg challenge: Abraham and Calhanoglu, blow and response. Largo turn over for Inzaghi, while the Conceiçao team lacks courage
One by one, ball in the center. Inter and Milan will meet again at San Siro on April 23 and will be the return match to say which of the two Milanese will have to book the train to Rome to play the Italian Cup against Bologna. Half Inter and little Milan, this was the first leg, included in the blow and response of the recovery between Abraham and Calhanoglu. Not an unforgettable show, even if Maignan and Martinez had their headaches and had to hurry to avoid worse trouble.
The feeling is that Inzaghi’s team has tried to manage with a view to the double challenge, saving energy and owners with the aim of keeping the solution open when you play … inverted fields. Conceiçao, on the other hand, threw his best options into the fray hoping for a handful of minutes to repeat the joke of Saudi Arabia. When, however, Inter found the draw was missing from the Rossoneri the strength if not the courage to try to recover the game.
The verdict at the bottom can be fine for both. It is not a definitive sentence: it allows Milan to climb over the worst moment after the fall of Naples that sanctioned the end of the run -up to a place in the next Champions League, but also Inter archives the first of the many labors of April without repercussions on physicist, head and result. It is true that from September he can no longer win a derby, on the contrary either he has loses it or he finds himself chasing from disadvantaged position, but this time he has the Alibi that he has deployed almost a team B who has kept the field without insurmountable problems.
If the Champions League final had been played, without injured, Inzaghi would certainly have changed 7 of the eleven owners of the derby: Martinez, Bisseck, De Vrij, Darmian, Carlos Augusto, Frattesi and Correa. The message is that the rotation, now that it becomes obliged in order not to burn successful hopes on the altar of fatigue, can hold up even if some more caliber will be needed in the return race.
Milan must console themselves with the consideration that this year never leaves the field on the knees against the cousins. It is a merit, it arrives after the hailstorm of the six derby in a row lost by Pioli and it is also the basis on which to build the work in view of the return. Inter and Milan enter us with the same chances of taking the final of Rome. The double challenge against Bayern Munich will say what the dimension for the Nerazzurri of the Italian Cup semifinal can be, beyond the proclamations of a technician who has sworn that he does not want to leave anything on the street.
