Milan risks trouble. How big we will only know at the end of this very delicate Sunday, which will see two very important direct clashes for the Champions League race. Ma Gattuso's team independently how Inter-Lazio and Roma-Napoli will end, still has to deal with a defeat that confirms what had been understood for some time and that only the positive results (until the derby of course) had masked: Milan has dangerously involved. Of course, many episodes weigh on Marassi's result and on those the Rossoneri were certainly not lucky, reducing everything to just these would however be like hiding your head in the sand, with the risk of not noticing the obvious technical and psychological problems of a large part of the squad. “We were coming off a heavy defeat in the derby and today we conceded after a minute – Gattuso's analysis. – We did everything to equalize but come on come on, there are many points available. We have to keep believing it".
This was a strange match for Genoa, in tension until well into the 96th minute but decided after just 40'' when Donnarumma gave to Defrel the 1-0 ball with a sensational mistake. Milan thus found itself forced to review all its plans and Sampdoria, for at least an hour, was the owner of the pitch, coming close to making it 2-0 several times and putting the opposing players and coaches in great difficulty. But then, just as happened in the derby, the changes (in Cutrone e package) have improved things and the Rossoneri experienced a protagonist finale, in which they could also draw if Orsato, recalled by Yes Duties, had not decided to ignore the colleague's report and postpone a contact in the area between Fracture e Friday least suspicious. “There is not even to discuss, Friday is off balance and the defender never catches the ball – Leonardo's outburst. – Indeed, even the hand ball up Bakayoko it seems pretty clear to me. The referee also reviewed the action at Yes, we are serene, but the fouls are evident".

Now the ball passes to Inter and Lazio, engaged in the other big match of this great football Sunday. The postponement of San Siro (20.30 pm) is worth a lot for both, especially after the defeat of Milan. The news of the day, once again, however, concerns Mauro Icardi: everyone expected to see him at least on the bench, especially after Lautaro Martinez's injury, but Spalletti has decided not to call him up, adding a new chapter to the controversy. “Given what happened in this period, including yesterday, I think it's right that he still won't be able to help his teammates for this match – explained the coach at the press conference. – I decided not to summon him, for the next races we will see…”. A decision that triggered the reaction of the same Icardi, who expressed all his disappointment through the lawyer Nicoletti. "Mauro from the day of his return he has made himself available to the team, with professionalism, following the steps I agreed in the interest of Inter and of the player with CEO Beppe Marotta, and also with the president, Steven Zhang - the words of the lawyer to Ansa. – The decision not to summon Icardi it was not anticipated and not knowing the reasons I can not comment on it".
In short, the case is far from a definitive solution and this does not help stabilize an environment that has always been very particular like that of Inter. Spalletti has taken on a big responsibility, now we just have to wait for 20.30 to understand if he has done well or not. The match with Lazio becomes even more delicate but the coach obviously prefers to play it with those who have always been by his side. Today's 4-3-3 will see Handanovic in goal, D'Ambrosio, Miranda, Skriniar e Asamoah in defence, Gagliardini, Brozovic e Vecino in midfield, Politano, Keita and Perisic in attack. Front-wheel drive Lazio, the one chosen instead by Inzaghi, determined to play for the remaining chances of the Champions League with all the artillery available. "Will be certainly a race very important for the standings, for our performance since we are returning from an excellent moment – his words at the press conference. – We will have ten more games available but this will count for a lot”. The coach will rely on a 3-5-1-1 with Strakosha between the poles, Luiz Felipe, Acerbi and Bastos in the backlog, Marusic, Luis Alberto, Leiva Milinkovic-Savic e Lulic in the median in support of the offensive duo made up of Correa and Immobile.
