The big break. Today's day, standings in hand, could in fact prove to be very important for Milan, which in the event of a victory over Turin would lead to +3 over Lazio, stopped by a daring 2-2 draw against Sampdoria, and only one point away from Inter, thus making third place closer than fifth.
All this, however, as previously mentioned, passes from the home success against Mazzarri's grenades, possible goal but not obvious. The insidious match that of the Rossoneri is in fact rather insidious: woe to think that the grenades come to act as sparring partners given that they too are at stake for a large part of their European ambitions.
“Inter are strong, staying close to them is a further stimulus but honestly I don't think about it, finishing in front of them is not our goal – Gattuso's words. – We have to think about Turin, it is certainly no coincidence that they always do very well away from home. He has a trained coach, he always knows what to do on the pitch: it will be a demanding match."
True, also because the latest positive results shouldn't make us forget the accident emergency, which is quite significant as usual. Of course, compared to a week ago there is Higuain's return to the team and this, evidently, is not a trivial detail.
Il Pipita returns after the unfortunate night with Juve (wrong penalty and expulsion) and everyone, Gattuso in the lead, expects a performance worthy of his name. "He will never be a problem for me, he shouldn't have to fixate on goals" the coach prevaricated, aware of the great pressure that the Rossoneri people will put on the Argentine.
Pipita aside we will see again the formation of the second half against Parma, therefore 4-4-2 with Donnarumma in goal, Calabria, Abate, Zapata and Rodriguez in defense, Suso, Bakayoko, Kessie and Calhanoglu in midfield, Cutrone and, indeed, Higuain in attack. Classic 3-4-1-2 also for Mazzarri, who will respond with Sirigu in goal, Izzo, Nkolou and Djidji in the back, De Silvestri, Meité, Rincon and Ansaldi in the midfield, Baselli behind the offensive duo Iago Falque-Belotti .
There will be many teams cheering on the Bull: Inter, determined to keep Milan as far away as possible and the two Romans, forced to hope for a favor from Mazzarri to remedy their respective mistakes. The equally absurd equal of Roma was joined by the equally absurd one of Lazio, reached by Samp even in the 99th minute. Of course, Immobile's 2-1 had only come from a penalty in the 96th minute (first there had been Quagliarella's goals in the 21' and Acerbi in the 78th minute) but precisely for this reason the 3 points now seemed safe. Instead, the Biancoceleste defense lost Saponara a few seconds from the end, the rest was done by the Dorian attacking midfielder (ex-Milan) inventing an "Ibrahimovic-style" stunt that sent Giampaolo into ecstasy and, consequently, Inzaghi to the mat . "There is great regret and regret, you have to win a game like this" sighed the Lazio coach, aware that, if this continues like this, the Champions League will remain only an autumn dream.
