Two draws in a row in Serie A is definitely a worrying sign for the Rossoneri, especially if the points are dropped against clubs in the bottom half of the table. The AC Milan team drew 2-2 and 1-1 against Salernitana and Udinese respectively.

Now, it is time to forget about the past games and think of the next one: a semi-final in Coppa Italia against Inter on Tuesday.

Stefano Pioli wants his team to put more intensity and concentration, but more importantly more clarity during both phases of the game.

Sandro Tonali, who has been like the lung or engine of this team this season, will, unfortunately, be absent due to the latest yellow card he received in the cup competition. Algerian midfielder Ismael Bennacer, therefore, is poised to start with Franck Kessié who has not been doing very well lately.

In this context, to win a derby and have a strong show of force, the gaffer will have to rely on Franck Kessié and work on him a lot at Milanello before this game. The Ivorian with the shirt number 79 has to concentrate on finishing the season well and strongly, despite his current contractual situation with the club. If he wishes to fetch a great contract elsewhere, his performance, especially against Inter will be very important in the middle of the field.

The former Atalanta man has a lot of potential and quality that was seen and unleashed last season and in few games this season sporadically. In midfield, his physicality and skills will be heavily relied on against a motivated Inter side who want to take revenge against Sefano Pioli's men after the last derby which ended in AC Milan's favour.
