"We are not happy, but we won"

Action, it's (again) filming. After the revolution, the camp, this evening at 21pm San Siro. In front of the Rome, the last act in the championship of the era Fonseca. And the first page of the new chapter branded Conceiçao. Derby behind us, but still in view of the derby: whoever goes through (no extra time in case of a draw, penalties immediately) faces the winner of Inter-Lazio. First test after an "intense, but always under control" end of the transfer market. We did more or less what we wanted. In the end, the results will speak for themselves", Ibrahimovic dixit. On the one hand, a public mea culpa. On the other, a pride that cannot, nor does it want to, hide. And so: "We are not happy and we have strengthened ourselves. A lot, in my opinion. Up to now, however, we are the only ones to have won a trophy, imagine if it had gone better... But clearly it is not enough for us: we are hungry, we are the Milan, it cannot be otherwise."

So, training moved from morning to afternoon yesterday, to have the latest arrivals available: in addition to Gimenez (worked separately on Monday) joined the group Joao felix e Sottil. In all likelihood, they will start from the bench. Not Bondo, still struggling with a muscle problem he picked up in Monza: a personalized session for him, as well as for Loftus-Cheek and Florenzi. Emerson Royal will be missing (for the Giallorossi Mancini), Fofana will return.

And the exam will return San Siro, under the eyes of the fans who suspended their protest against Inter: "As a player I loved being hated, now it's different. The last championship I won here came thanks to the fans: the predictions didn't even give us among the top four, they had doubled our strength", the appeal of Ibra. Much less sweet with Bennacer: "He asked to be given up. If someone has something different in mind than Milan, is already out". Go: there's no time to waste, there's no time. The derby opened a February with eight games: everything still up for grabs. Starting this evening.
