DBasia.news – Inter Milan will meet against AC Milan in the continued match of Serie A 2022-2023. The Nerazzurri had several reasons to win the game despite not being able to play Romelu Lukaku.
After failing to stem Milan into the Scudetto last season, Inter have a chance for revenge. The Derbi della Madonnina duel is presented in the fifth week of Serie A.
Unfortunately, Inter were unable to field their mainstay striker, Romelu Lukaku, due to injury. In fact, Lukaku has a slick track record versus the Rossoneri.
However, Inter still have a great chance to win the game. Here are three reasons Inter would silence Milan in the Derbi della Madonnina even without Romelu Lukaku:
Qualified Substitute
Losing Romelu Lukaku certainly makes Inter Milan’s overall attack power less. However, that does not mean Inter do not have a qualified replacement.
That player is Edin Dzeko. The former AS Roma has been used to being a partner of Lautaro Martinez’s duet since last season.
Dzeko’s appearance when he met Cremonese did not disappoint either. Appearing for 90 minutes, Dzeko spread many threats to the opponent’s defense. In addition, Dzeko can also be a divider of the ball on the front lines.
Hot Start Engine
Apart from the defeat against Lazio, Inter Milan’s performance was actually quite good. Inter swept the other three matches with a win.
With tactics that have not changed much, Simone Inzaghi’s squad began to play according to directions. Inter’s front line is sharp again, although the defense sector needs special attention.
With a derby match held at the start of the season like this, team readiness is important. For that, Inter Milan have sufficient capital.
Milan Not Consistent
Bearing the status of defending champion, Milan’s appearance has not been consistent. Rossoneri won two wins and two draws.
Milan is often windy when playing as a guest team. Against Sassuolo and Atalanta, both matches ended equally strong. In fact, Milan almost lost when they met Sassuolo if Domenico Berardi’s penalty was successful.
Therefore, Stefano Pioli needs to formulate a more mature strategy to face an Inter who is stronger than his previous opponents. Pioli also has to find a way so that the new players can be more cohesive with the old players.
