The five days ofInter. Between tonight and Tuesday, the Nerazzurri are playing a good chunk of the season, without forgetting the increasingly dense negotiations that Suning is carrying out with the BC Partners fund, which could radically change the future (and present) of the club. Conte's match, however, is played between Florence and Turin, where points and victories must necessarily be collected. But before thinking about Juve, you need to take care of Fiorentina in anticipation of the 21st day (20.45), a very delicate commitment above all for physical reasons, placed as it is between the two semi-finals of the Italian Cup.
The Nerazzurri coach, who went silent on the press yesterday, is well aware that this, at least on paper, could be an unfavorable day compared to Milan, engaged on Sunday at the San Siro against Crotone, bottom in the standings. Scenario that will be repeated next week too, with Inter awaiting a direct clash with Lazio and the Rossoneri on the Spezia field, all while Juve will face Rome and Naples. In short, not winning in Florence could further lengthen the standings, with the risk of finishing in the derby on 21 February without the possibility of overtaking.
On the other hand, this could be an opportunity to flex their muscles in the championship, especially since the Viola, albeit in a positive miniseries (victory with Crotone and a draw with Turin), are certainly not experiencing a great season. The risk, however, in such busy periods, is not having had enough time to prepare mentally, unlike an opponent who has worked a whole week thinking about the match.
To disturb Conte then there are he warns her, who see Bastoni, Brozovic and Barella under the magnifying glass: a yellow card would mean no Lazio, depriving him of one or more fundamental players. However, it must be said that Prandelli is certainly in worse shape, given that the absences by disqualification of two titular players such as Castrovilli and Milenkovic, which will force him to put his hand in defense and midfield. Then there is the previous, rather fresh, Coppa Italia, which saw Inter win, but only at the end of extra time: the Viola, therefore, know how to annoy the Nerazzurri, as indeed they had already seen a group ago in the daring 4-3 at San Siro.
Conte, back in the stands for the second and final day of disqualification, knows well that this is a game not to be missed, therefore he will limit the turnover to a minimum, for a 3-5-2 that will see Handanovic in goal, Skriniar, De Vrij and Bastoni in defense, Hakimi, Barella, Brozovic, Vidal and Perisic in midfield, Lukaku and Sanchez in attack. The same game system also for Prandelli, who will rely on Dragowski between the posts, Martinez Quarta, Pezzella and Igor in the back department, Caceres, Bonaventura, Amrabat, Pulgar and Biraghi in the midfield, Eysseric and Vlahovic as an offensive couple.
