Interesting history between two clubs.Last time Zvezda and Milan played 14 years ago.Milan eliminated Zvezda in third qualification round of Champions League.
Milan was then thrown into Champions League after Calciopoli scandal, but it kept the team going and it turns out that Zvezda was very lucky for Milan,because in that season 2006/2007 the Italian club won the European title.

We need to win because performances have not been good for a while. I trust the young players, we need to have the most physically ready team to start.

Tatarusanu
Calabria Tomori Kalulu Theo
Krunic Kessie
Samu Leao Hauge
Ibrahimovic

Mandzukic

@Jivara, Hauge is not in the EL squad.

With some probable exceptions, we will not use this game to rest players. I hope we give Mandzukic a start at CF with Ibra as a possible sub.

GdS: In front of the Red Star, Mandzukic will play in the place of Ibra, with Rebic .. Tonali in the place of Bennacer, Calabria will play on the right side, Pioli will choose on Tomori or Kjaer in defense.

Mandzukic

Rest Theo Kessie and Zlatan. Take off Hakan around 60’

We can take EL more seriously later or with easy serieA game after .. but Derby is the most important game for us in years and we need our main men fresh .. Inters will Deffo be fresh with no Europe

Tata
Calabria Tomori Kalulu Dalot
Krunic Meite
Samu Hakan Rebic
Mandzukic

subs: Kessie 70' (for Meite), Tonali 55' (for Hakan), Gabbia 80' (for Krunic)

This is strong enough to win the match. More importantly I want to see the old winning attitude!

We are so lucky to have this game mid week. Hopefully, a convincing win will help the boys forget the loss against Spezia and restore their confidence for the derby.

El game:
Tata
Kalu-Gabbia-Roma-Dalot
Tona-Meite
Samu-Kru-Leao
Mandz

And give some minutes to Kjaer , Ben & Hakan to get sharper.

Vs Inter :
Donna
Cala-Kjaer-Tomo-Theo
Kess-Ben
Sale-Hakan-Rebic
Ibra

PS: its really sad that Hauge isnt registered in EL.

Excited to watch that back line. Hopefully, we will never see Dalot at RB again.

This would be better.

Any update on Brahim Diaz?

stop forcing Leao into formations, he should be perma benched until decides if he's okay by running after players and covering like the rest of the team does.
while we're at it, id love to see Leao on the left vs Red Star so he can fuck off from the starting 11 vs Inter

Will be interesting to see Mandzukic from start.
He hasn't received a real chance yet.
Throwing him in, on the wings, at his age and in this shape, while we're losing the midfield battle and we have a passenger at the front in Ibra...that's bound to fail miserably.

This isn't a great chance either. A lot of reserves starting together for the first time. A midfielder(Krunic) in the front 4. I don't expect a great team performance, but Mandzu could prove himself individually.

Really excited about this game. Mainly about what Mandzukic is able to pull off.
