Milan vs inter

Inter is not going to put 7 guys behind the ball. They might because of their lack of creativity, but it won't be on purpose. This will give either Dinho more room, Pato, Pirlo, or Huntelaar. Honestly, I'm feeling good about this game.

I can't wait for this Derby,

You are right, Kaka was not exactly the type which could consistently unlock defenses which "put a bus in front of the goal" through creative dribbling or killer passing. Reversely, I felt that Milan has lost a big part of its counter-attacking threat by losing Kaka - and these are the kind of counter-attacking space which makes that little difference in big matches.

Perhaps Pato may fill the role. But the team is not exactly the fastest ... not that it was that fast the season before, but we have lost quite a bit of speed overall and continue to lose this advantage.

I expect the approach from both sides to be cautious and perhaps a draw would be the right result in the end. All this big gung-ho talk from both sides probably is a just "a show" which actually comes from the fear they have for each other.
