This morning, the Corriere dello Sport newspaper wants to emphasise how important the match between Inter and AC Milan.
For the Rossoneri, it will be important to close the gaps that were evident in the second half of last season, and one of these, beyond the tactical aspect, is the depth of the squad. This was one of the factors that "caught" Milan in the Champions League semi-final last May, and it was one of the aspects that the Milan leadership worked on so much in the summer. If Pioli manages to integrate the new arrivals effectively, then the Devil will have several more chances to compete on multiple levels, including Serie A, throughout the season.
The most important additions for AC Milan have come in attack.
Compared to Origi and Rebic, who struggled as alternatives last year, and Ibra, who, not by his own choice, was almost ineffective, the Rossoneri have added players with assured talent to their stable: Pulisic to be used across the entire offensive front, Samuel Chukwueze and Noah Okafor on the wings, and the semi-gamble Luka Jovic as Olivier Giroud's backup.
The wild card is named Luka Romero, capable of standing out in preseason. In midfield, considering Tonali's departure and Ismael Bennacer's injury, AC Milan has strengthened with three high-level profiles like Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Tijjani Reijnders, and Yunus Musah.
Finally, in defense, the young Pellegrino has arrived, perhaps the only department that has remained a bit short on alternatives but with potential to be expressed especially in the central sector. In short, AC Milan has put together a starting eleven that can ideally replace the regular one.
