C'is a detail that did not go unnoticed in Milan-Napoli.
On the occasion of the Italian Super Cup semifinal, Milan took the field with the players’ names written in Arabic on their official jerseys.

This symbolic decision reflects the Club’s respect and closeness to the host country and its culture.
And the commitment to strengthening ties with local audiences and the Arab world, as evidenced by the recent opening of the Milan Academy in Jeddah.

A.C. Milan’s growing presence in the region has further solidified its position as the most popular Italian club in the MENA area.
And the most followed in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
With more than six million supporters in the MENA region, the Club has been actively present in the Middle East for two years.
Through this initiative, Milan intends to celebrate the link between sports and culture.

He recognized Saudi Arabia as an important stopover for major international events and a strategic partner for the Club’s global growth and development.
The move did not bring luck to the Rossoneri team.

Napoli won 2-0 eliminating Allegri’s team.

However, if Vincenzo Italiano has already won with Bologna (Coppa Italia, to be precise), Cristian Chivu is looking for his first final since he sat on the Nerazzurri bench and, in general, since he decided to coach. He is particularly keen on this match, not least to confirm how good Inter is doing both in the league and in the Champions League (he is also in the running in the Coppa Italia). The Nerazzurri’s coach is ready to surprise his colleague from Bologna.

New things are expected especially at the formation level. In goal, barring unforeseen circumstances, it should be Josep Martinez&#8217s turn. The former Genoa goalkeeper wants to prove he&#8217s up to the role of Inter&#8217s number one. Stefan de Vrij is also likely to be used, from the first minute, along with Alessandro Bastoni and Yann Aurel Bisseck. On the flanks, space for the Dimarco-Luis Henrique duo. In midfield, the trio Mkhitaryan-Zielinski-Barella. Another novelty in attack with Ange-Yoan Bonny to partner Marcus Thuram.

.

Attention also to the possibility of having Davide Frattesi play, from the start, who, with Bologna’s high defense, could prove very useful in possible restarts. Lautaro Martinez will start from the bench, ready to take over as the game progresses.

Cristian Chivu wants to use Vincenzo Italiano’s aggressive soccer to his advantage. Having players who have leg and are skilled in restarts could be the key to knocking Bologna out.
