CorSera: 'Battle of the Brains' - Modric and Calhanoglu will be key to Inter-Milan
"There are several players of note for both AC Milan and Inter. However, the game could be won by their midfield. It would be tough to suggest that Inter and Milan do not have two of the best midfields in Italy. Perhaps, they even compete for the best, and on Sunday, one may prove that they are the better unit than the other."
"There is quality in both, and it seems that Adrien Rabiot will be Massimiliano Allegri's wildcard to win the game. However, the game may not be decided by the Frenchman. Instead, it could come to those sitting deeper. As Corriere della Sera, via MilanNews, writes, the game could instead be won by Hakan Calhanoglu or Luka Modric. It will be a derby of the brains; the two dominate their teams' midfields, and they will duel again this weekend."
AC Milan and Inter possess two of Italy's strongest midfields and may be competing to prove superiority in the upcoming derby. Adrien Rabiot represents a potential wildcard for Milan, but deeper midfield control could determine the outcome. Hakan Calhanoglu and Luka Modric dominate their teams' midfield orchestration and are likely to duel as playmakers. Managers Massimiliano Allegri and Christian Chivu will aim to outmaneuver each other tactically. A crucial part of the match will be preventing the opponent's chief playmaker from orchestrating play. Prior connections both players have with the opposing club add extra intensity.
