Champions League, Milan-Inter: Vieri’s reflections

First act Wednesday night, anticipation skyrocketing

Wednesday night will see the first act of the Champions League Euro derby between AC Milan and Inter Milan. Expectation skyrockets for a challenge that promises sparks. Vieri, a lifetime at Inter but also a few months at AC Milan, indulged in a series of reflections via Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Inter are better mainly because they have the strongest squad of all, starting with the attack: in theory they cannot lose to anyone. Does that mean Inter will pass? I don’t know: I don’t like sayings, but derbies are really a lottery,” the words of Bobo himself. A joke also about Leao, in doubt at least for the first leg: “If he doesn’t play how much does Milan lose? Fifty percent, more or less. A lot, anyway. He and Theo are the ones who give the rips that are needed, all the more so in matches like this. And he is the one who single-handedly turns the ball around. The one who single-handedly changes games.”
