Last year, Luka won, with Hakan even having a penalty saved by Maignan. It was the first derby of the season, because the Turk was absent for the return fixture.
Milan and Inter were different teams from today. Modric, rather than a playmaker in front of the defence, was an extra-luxurious protective shield; Calhanoglu was operating as usual around the edge of the opposition penalty area, but Chivu's football did not yet have the aggressiveness and attacking inclination it has now.
Under Amorim, the Croatian is called upon to build play further forward compared to his first year with Allegri on the bench: more of a classic deep-lying playmaker, with the consequences that come with it (a larger area of the pitch to cover, greater involvement in attacking moves).
