Serie A
Pioli: ‘Ibrahimovic and Rebic are eliminated from the derby with Inter’
With two key absences, Milan are set to face Inter in Saturday’s big derby, with Stefano Pioli admitting in the press conference that Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ande Rebic are out through injuries.
Three months after their first-round date, the two big Milan teams meet on Saturday evening (February 5th, 7:00 p.m., COSMOTE SPORT 4 HD and LIVE by Sportish) for the 24th game of Serie A, whatever the scores are diametrically opposed.
In November, the Rossoneri went into the Derby della Madonnina with seven points against the Cugini, but now their compatriot has the upper hand, with the champions Inter being the champions and at +4 from Milan (equal to Napoli in second place with 49 points) and has less games.
Moreover, the Rossoneri will come into action on the Meazza lawn with two notable defeats, both affecting their offensive line, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ande Rebic unable and unable to overcome the injury problems that have plagued them for several days.
“Neither Zlatan nor Rebic will be available for Saturday’s game. Tomori has worked hard and will be available, but I don’t think he will be there from the start.” In the press conference on Friday (February 4), Stefano Pioli and the Rossoneri coach made the following statement about the top derby:
“This game is very important for many reasons. It’s a local derby, it will give us confidence, positive energy and strength.
We know it’s very important. Inter are a very strong team, they won the league last year. As the two teams play, multiple twins are formed on the grass, whoever prevails the most has a better chance of winning.
We should be more hungry than they are in the claimed balls.”
