The touch is not punishable because the touch is aimed at closing the ball towards the body, without creating an obstacle. It's therefore a question of movement, with the Milan midfielder not trying to obstruct the ball's trajectory with his arm outstretched to the side, but rather trying to bring it back close to his body to try avoid it.
The Nerazzurri's side flies the Italian flag. Aside from any changes to the line-up, Chivu's side is preparing to take the field with four Italians as starters (Bastoni, Dimarco, Barella and Esposito). Allegri, however, is expected field a 100% international XI. With Bartesaghi a doubt at the moment and Gabbia injured, the only Azzurri available are Terracciano, Pittarella and Ricci, all of whom are expected to start on the bench.
It'll be a tough match. Inter are ahead in the table and will probably play with less pressure than us. But the derby is a game in itself: each match is different. I expect a very competitive game and I hope we can win.
