Speaking to Sky Sport, former footballer Marocchi commented on the derby between Milan and Inter, taking a stance on the exclusion of Dimarco from the starting eleven chosen by Chivu.

“Lautaro was already missing, but I just can’t see the die-hard Inter fan Dimarco sitting on the bench. In the derby, he can’t be left out. Why? He might put in three fewer crosses, but he gives adrenaline to the whole team, he’s a true Nerazzurri man,” said Marocchi.

A direct criticism of the technical choice: according to the former player, the emotional contribution and attachment to the shirt shown by the full-back are elements that are hard to compensate for, regardless of his strictly technical performance.
