It’s the first real direct clash of the season tonight at the Meazza, in the all-Lombard and Nerazzurri challenge between Inter and Atalanta, between the Italian champions and the winners of the last Europa League. Inzaghi recovers Lautaro but should confirm Taremi from the start, doubtful instead in midfield where Mkhitaryan and Zielinski are fighting for places. Watch out for the Goddess who, with Gasperini on the bench, has won on all Serie A pitches since 2016 except at the ‘Scala’ of football. Cabala against the Bergamo team, almost always defeated in the Inzaghi era with 5 defeats and two draws in 7 clashes, including the Coppa Italia. “But there’s always a first time”, joked Gasperini who, during the week, lost Koopmeiners but brought on Samardzic, Bellanova, Cuadrado, Rui Patricio in a few days and two days ago Kossounou. The Atalanta of the European Super Cup, also due to injuries, has been revolutionized, while maintaining the same structure, by grafting the bomber Retegui. In the night of San Siro, the Italian-Argentine dreams of taking the scene in place of the host Lautaro.
