Two traps to avoid in order not to let the panettone go sideways. Spalletti and Gattuso will eat it anyway but it is clear that losing points against Chievo (18 pm) and Fiorentina (15 pm) would make it decidedly less tasty, not to mention even indigestible. Inter are in a calmer situation than Milan and even their opponents, although in the second half, are less scared: provided, of course, that they win, otherwise the boomerang effect would be guaranteed. “If we don't face Chievo with the right concentration then it will be a complicated match – commented Spalletti -. The guys have worked well and, in general, I see an overall growth of the whole team in terms of attitude. We will go on the pitch to the fullest, showing everyone what it means to be part of a club like this." The reference to the sense of belonging serves to keep the tension high, especially in a week in which everything but Chievo has been talked about. In fact, the internal controversies on the Icardi case held the ground, a real show attended by Wanda Nara, Ausilio and Marotta and which certainly did not contribute to making the climate at the Nerazzurri house serene.

“The field matters to me – glossed over Spalletti. – We have a company present, there are no problems. Everyone is doing their job, the rest shouldn't concern us." In short, it is better to think of Chievo, which the coach will have to face without the suspended Asamoah and the injured Miranda. Aside from Ghana, it will still be a 4-3-3 like with Handanovic in goal, vrsaljko, SkriniarDe Free and D'Ambrosio in defense, Borja Valero, Brozovic and Joao Mario in midfield, Politano, Icardi and Perisic in attack. DiCarlo, after 4 consecutive draws with Napoli, Lazio, Parma and Spal (to which must be added the one with Bologna collected by Ventura), will try to get the first victory with a 4-3-1-2 that will see Sorrentino between the posts, Bani, Rossettini, Beard and Jaroszynski in the backlog section, Giaccarini, Rigoni ed Hetemaj in the median, Birsah behind the offending pair Stepinsky- Pellissier. However, the first Milanese to take the field will be Gattuso's Milan, engaged at the San Siro against Fiorentina. A very delicate match for the Rossoneri and not only for questions of classification: the bad draw in Bologna, in fact, weighed down the atmosphere around the team considerably, so much so that Scaroni had to publicly recall how important it is to finish at least in fourth place.

“Society asked us for this, it's hard but we try – Gattuso retorted. – We are fourth, yet sometimes it seems to be in eighth or ninth place. In any case, I know we have to wake up, playing like in Bologna won't get us anywhere." To complicate his job even more then there are injuries and suspensions, which this time have literally decimated the midfield. In fact, Biglia and Bonaventura joined the long-term patients Kessie, Bakayoko and Bertolacci too: a disaster that the coach will try to remedy by inventing something. Today's 4-3-3 will see Donnarumma in goal, Abate, Romagnoli, Zapata and Rodriguez in defence, Calabria, José Mauri and Calhanoglu in midfield, Suso, Higuain and Castillejo in attack. No defection instead for Pioli, who will try to conquer San Siro with lafont between the poles, Milenkovic, Pezzella, Vitor Hugo and Biraghi in the back department, Benassi, Veretout e Gerson in the median, Chiesa, Simeone e Mirallas in the offensive trident.
