The biggest hit of the 5th round of the Italian highest competition will take place on San Sir on Sunday evening. AC Milan longs to continue on the winning wave, but he will stand in his way to the title of title and so far sovereign Naples. Partenopei won both matches last year and they managed to win at San Sir over the past five years.
Since 2020, Naples won four times in Milan and is a paper favorite before Sunday’s contest. The defender of the title entered the new year impressive, triumphed four times in the league, although not everything went smoothly. The Conte team first encountered in the Champions League, but in the weakening it was not enough for Manchester City. He did not consider Conte or last week, in which Partenopei lost the trace pair Alessandro Buongiorno and Amir Rrahmani. “It was not a happy week for us, because some players are missing and we had a few other problems. But as you know, there are problems in the season and often meet at the same time,” Conte heard.
Coach Naples then refused to express himself who is a favorite this year. “I don’t call anyone as a favorite. I just know and repeat that Milan, Inter and Juventus, thanks to its history, traditions and financial possibilities, have always written important chapters of football history. They are strong teams. Who is and is not a favorite I leave on the media And we just have to concentrate, “added the charismatic coach.
Many do not consider AC Milan, who underwent a significant reconstruction in the summer. After the defeat in the opening round, however, the Allegri team took and won three times in a row. Already the fourth competition win was written even in the week, when in Coppa Italia clearly played a lot. Naples, however, represents a much more demanding challenge, which they know well in Milan. “We know that we are facing a team that deserved Scudetto last year had a good transfer period and is the number one favorite. Conte can get all well to give the best performance. Naples have a balance of 18 wins and 8 draws in the last 26 games, “warned Milan coach Allegri.
AC Milan has something to return Naples and, as has already been said, wants to continue the winning series. “It will be an important test, we are in good physical and mental fitness and the more we will work together, the better we will work and get to know each other and the better we can lead. We will need a hundred well -played minutes, “Allegri said.
