MILANO
Milan is giving away the semi-final of the Italian Cup and another double derby. The Rossoneri overwhelm Lazio at San Siro with a super first half. Leao unlocks it, then like last Saturday with Inter, Olivier Giroud scores a brace in a few minutes, which puts the game on ice. Pioli’s team was very skilled in taking advantage of all the defensive flaws of the opponents. The speed of Leao and Ibrahim Diaz literally turned upside down the ramshackle Biancoceleste defense, punched too easily.
In the second half Milan controlled the game, there was a whirlwind of changes and the injury of Immobile who limped off the pitch after almost an hour of play. With the coach of Italy, Roberto Mancini, in the stands, a little worried about the conditions of the attacker in view of the playoffs that are worth a place in the World Cup. In the final there is also time for the fourth goal scored by Kessie and the entry into the field of Tomori, recovered after the injury and greeted by the fans with an ovation.
Now a semifinal, round trip between Milan and Inter and it will be spectacular. The Rossoneri are doing great and have done another load of enthusiasm. But Inter, which eliminated Roma, immediately recovered from the disappointment of the derby and will want to make up for it. A challenge that begins today, even if the two teams will first have several important games in the leagues and the Nerazzurri will have Liverpool in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
