A difficult challenge. And it could not be otherwise. This is how Fabio Capello describes Milan's challenge at the "Maradona." Conceição's Rossoneri will resume their league campaign against Antonio Conte's Napoli before taking the field in the Coppa Italia derby against Inter. Two matches analyzed by the former Rossoneri coach in an interview with today's edition of Gazzetta dello Sport:
"Napoli is very strong on set pieces, first and foremost. And then, they have one player in particular who can put Conceição's team in trouble: McTominay. The Scotsman is excellent at making runs from deep, and Milan struggles especially with these situations. But containing Lukaku's physicality will not be easy either. Then we return to the match scenario: the Rossoneri cannot afford to play a waiting game, but Napoli is excellent at closing down spaces because, with Conte, everyone sacrifices themselves in defense and then knows how to counterattack. It will be a very tough test."
And then, of course, there will be the Derby della Madonnina... Capello replied:
"Now, if we want to push it a bit, we could say that in the next two or three matches, Milan will understand the definitive course of its season. The only advantage is that there aren't many calculations to make: with the standings as they are, the Rossoneri can and must only win. Everything else is just talk."
