AC Milan Shock Inter Milan, Paulo Fonseca Saved, Dusan Vlahovic A Write-Off, Roma Mutiny (Ep. 457)

[@tomdreler6528]

one thing that impressed me regarding the formation and tactics of Milan was the risky 4-2-4. It was clear, that the midfield was easy to overcome with vertical or diagonal balls (Barella to Dimarco in the first half). But the Pressing of a line of 4 Attackers robbed Inter of the possibility to build up from the back 3 (which is sometimes more comfortable and versatile). It was risky and sometimes i thought, hopefully reijnders and fofana can hold up the concentration level but - it went well. Good Game Plan

[@BadselS]

And Pulisic being world class helped too

[@tomdreler6528]

Yes, he brought the last piece of confident Flair to this approach

[@ItaFootPod]

It was very deep though

[@BadselS]

@@ItaFootPod that's what she said

[@jmf_5]

Nima's defense of Barella was certainly stouter than what Pavard offered up in the Derby. 😉 💙 🖤

[@ItaFootPod]

Barella needs no defense ;)

Many congratulations on the nomination. You guys really deserve it. Hope you win. I will be voting.

Thanks amico!

[@Neoyorchese]

Most of all, the fight for the top 4 spots is now pretty open and competitive. Forza Milan!

[@ItaFootPod]

Very true

[@brianwahinya1245]

So many excuses here for Inter. Juve & Milan have similar conditions. Only Napoli💙 have an advantage over them in terms of fatigue and workload.

[@ItaFootPod]

No excuses

[@Neoyorchese]

Agreed.

[@warrenlees9673]

RE the Serie Arse of the week conversation. Zlatan really needs to pull his head in. As a Milan fan it is right that media and ex players are asking what his role actually is. And what is the chain of command. He's tough guy responses were fine as a player but are totally unacceptable for whatever his current role is. Which we are still no clearer to understanding by the way. Is he a sporting director or "cheerleader in chief"?

[@ItaFootPod]

100%

[@gabr131s]

Inter will need to show great character to bounce back, and play better. They have the players, but their leaders need to step up, and the bench players need to step up and do better. Well done to Milan though, im curious to see if they stick with the Morata-Abraham front 2 from now on or not. Great pod ep as always and I put in my vote in for you guys!!!

[@ItaFootPod]

Thanks brother

[@phillipnoetzel7637]

Not a single player on the Roma rooster has shown themself deserving or wearing our shirt. Lazy primadonnas

[@ItaFootPod]

Why do you say that?

[@phillipnoetzel7637]

@@ItaFootPod I was born in Roma in 1972 in Salvatore Mundi hospital and have supported the club my whole life; so needless to say I have memories of Roma sides that weren’t always successful but they did show heart, passion, flair, work ethic and dedication. This crop of players have shown very little grinta. Mourinho took these boys by the scruff and helped them be better players and men; yet all they did was complain. The days of the likes of Conti, Falcao, Aldair, Cafu, Batistuta, Giannini, Di Bartolomei, Amadei, De Rossi , and Totti are long gone I understand; yet these new lads fail to show the will to reach those levels and it disgusts me. Watch us play more than just occasionally and you will see a team that quits on the field, quits on its manager, and quits on each other. Unacceptable Forza Roma Sempre

[@ziontrain7887]

I disagree with Inter players being tired. A lot of teams are playing the same amount of games and Inter is a team with one of the deepest bench. In Monza and Milan game they were outplayed and neutralized by better tactics. So let’s give credit to Monza and Milan for getting a result against a good Inter team. Milan started the season sluggish because a lot of players weren’t able to arrive before preseason while Inter had a well drilled team from last season.

[@ItaFootPod]

Agree to disagree

[@BadselS]

Unfortunately it seems like Oaktree, and by extention Marotta, are willing to sacrifice Serie A for UCL results. Inter can't fight on all fronts with its current bench, the derby made it painfully obvious. And if we really prioritising the Champions League, then I hope we reach at least semi-final there. Man City game showed that Inter can hang with anybody in the world, and even win if Signor Darmian stays on the bench where he supposed to be

[@ItaFootPod]

Let's see what happens

[@Neoyorchese]

UcL is next for Inter for their Growth. That is how Milan had been during Berlu's time many seasons...

[@p.i.9685]

tutto quello che volete sul derby, but that primo tempo was dreadful boys! i don't see it long term :( from a rossonero. BTW Ibra che parla di Gatti e leoni ecc - the guy is a puppet, you know!

[@ItaFootPod]

I agree re ong term. That's why we both dont see Milan competing for the Scudetto

Please on Spotify and YT put bullet points or however is called that we know which part of the video/audio is about what 😊

Yes brother will do, but we want you to listen to everything

@@ItaFootPod I know but is better if you have them many people today are used to it and people don’t want to start even to listen if it’s not included cuz they want to choose what part they want first to hear, it doesn’t mean people will always jump only to that part it’s just better option when you want to hear first some part which is about your team and then to continue with rest

I am a Milan fan and my face hurts from the pure joy after the match. Sorry Nima, but it was so nice to finally get this win. I've honestly been drunk on this victory. The other stories in serie A are... very confusing. Roma ? Really Roma? Also I have a feeling that some of the Juve ultras are for some reason gonna call for the return of Allegri. This league is fine 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@WandoLupian]

No every Juventus fan wants to back Motta. You can't create this headline only Fonseca is under pressure rn

Need to stay focuses for Lecce and Leverkusen...at this time we have to demand game by game joy...a lot grinta also helps win...Ac Milan should hold steady...less noise, more wins

Inter is being too complacent and arrogant. They’re resting on their laurels/their bellies are full, at least in Serie A. Hopefully they wake up soon. At least in the CL they seem to be more awake.

[@BadselS]

Or they were just tired physically and mentally after giving their all against Man City

[@gerardobolanos8901]

@@BadselS why are they constantly tired? I keep hearing that our players are tired. Could it have something to do with the physical preparation staff?

Papers in Italy are pro-Inter most of the time. Either actively attacking other teams or protecting Inter when they are performing less than stellar. Inter haven't been playing well in the league recently, but you'll never hear about it until something like this happens.
