Italian Cup: Milan or Inter – who will reach the final?

on Tuesday evening (9 p.m. on free TV with blue zoom) is the first stop. Both teams have weakened recently: Inter won only one of their six competitive matches, and Milan could only draw against outside players. But in the Derby della Madonnina you will definitely see high-level football again.

Because superstars on both sides know how desperately their fans want this prestigious victory. Inter coach Simone Inzaghi has access to all players for the first time this season.



On the one hand, counter-player Stefano Pioli has to dispense with the injured defender for a long time as Gayer, on the other hand, veteran star Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still suffering from indefinite Achilles problems. In his absence, Rafael Liao emerged as a key player in attack. He has scored four times in the last eight league matches. He also scored in the last two rounds of the cup.

Leão with an outstanding role model

The Portuguese star analyzed shooting in “DAZN” (via MilanoThe reasons for his rise. “The start was not easy because I arrived in a different league and did not speak Italian. I was 19 and there were many first-class opponents.”

But despite the difficulties, Bewley gave him confidence and gave him the right mindset. He told me: You have talent, but you lack the winning mentality. If you want to reach the level of Mbappe and Ronaldo, you have to make the difference in every match, otherwise you are a normal player.”

Rafael Liao wants to continue playing aggressively.

“Mbappe and Ronaldo are the most inspiring to me, and they are the most watched on YouTube,” said the 22-year-old striker who often plays in the left winger position. He is not a “Matador” as dangerous as his role model, but he is learning and wants to reach that level.

Leão, whose contract extension with Milan is well underway, received good news from Lausanne recently. He does not now have to pay the €16.5m fine that was once imposed on him for an alleged breach of contract – his appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport succeeded.

The offensive art of Inter is wanted

Inter’s defense is the second best player in the league (behind Napoli). But in the previous two league matches (1:1, 1:2) against Milan, one was not always happy. Stefan de Vrij in particular – a special target and a foul – was observed negatively. Inter is the guest at San Siro on paper. In two weeks there will be a second stop.

In contrast to European competitions, where the rule for away goals has been abolished this season, the counting of away goals in the Coppa Italia continues to be “double”. The Italian Federation will not adopt the new UEFA rule until next season. So it is very important that Inter can score.
