There is the fear that a new defeat could open a crisis for Milan. Not surprisingly, in recent days Ibrahimovic has tried to encourage his team: "We must react immediately", insisted Zlatan, who knows perfectly well that a clear and immediate response is essential tonight because the risk of a backlash exists.
Pioli's ambitious Milan, strengthened by Ibra's leadership, has grown a lot and wants to race on all fronts, including the Italian Cup. That's why today's derby will be a formidable psychological test.
If the Diavolo has really grown up, it will have to prove it in this match, against the strongest opponent, city rivals Inter, highlighted Corriere della Sera.
