Sacchi explains how Milan can beat Inter in Supercoppa final: “Speed” | OneFootball

Thanks to the 2-1 win against Juventus last night, AC Milan will face Inter in the final of the Supercoppa Italiana. Arrigo Sacchi has already shared his thoughts on how the Rossoneri can beat their rivals.

Sergio Conceicao’s men managed to turn things around in the second half of Juventus, scoring two goals in four minutes, and thus secured a ticket in the final. It will be an opportunity for the Portuguese manager to lift a trophy just one week into his Milan tenure.

Interviewed by Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, the legendary former manager Arrigo Sacchi was asked about yesterday’s game and the upcoming final. He stated that Milan can beat Inter by making the most of pace on the flanks.

How would you play against the Nerazzurri?

“Milan have the chance to put Inzaghi’s team in trouble, especially in terms of speed. The Nerazzurri, strong in all areas, if they suffer from something, it is the speed of the opposing attackers. So in these days, Conceiçao will have to work on this aspect. And he will also have to correct something at the back, because in the first half the defensive phase did not work,” he concluded.

Unfortunately, it seems Rafael Leao will only be able to play a few minutes off the bench, so it remains to be seen which players Conceicao will opt for. If Alex Jimenez, there will still be a great amount of pace on Milan’s left-hand side.
