Milan V Inter match preview
After a 2-1 defeat in Napoli on Sunday which left them four points behind the eighth Fiorentina in Serie A, Coppa Italia is more and more like Milan’s only hope for Europe next season.
This week’s reports suggested that director Sergio Conceicao, who was not appointed in December, will not be at the club next season, but the Portuguese were encouraged by his team’s response to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona while they are preparing for the first stage of their semi-finals against Inter.
“I saw a different attitude,” Conceicao told Dazn. “You need quality, but also courage, desire and hunger to take men.
“If you have a hard time in the ball, then you are not fresh to attack with quality when you get the ball. I have a lot of confidence in this team – it’s a healthy group that wants to change this atmosphere. Wednesday, we are lucky to do it.”

The Inter is three points above Napoli at the top of the league after a seventh victory on their undefeated race in eight current games in all competitions, marking twice in the first 30 minutes in a 2-1 home victory against Udinese the same day that Milan fell 20 points behind them.
The Nine -time round of the Coppa Italia champions of two consecutive triumphs ended with 16 years last season, and their attempt to go as far as this time was helped by the form of the midfielder Nicolo Barella, whose total of eight assists is the greatest number of players in this season.
“When we play like that, it is difficult to play against us,” said goalkeeper Yann Sommer about their performance against Udinese.
“We have created chances and marked objectives at good times. We are happy because we have put the right type of display. We must seize these opportunities. “
