A few minutes before the kick-off of the Madonnina derby, Calhanoglu spoke to the microphones of Inter TV to outline the tactical keys and expectations for the evening.

“Today we need concentration and clarity, not to lose our heads and always stay focused. We want to win and show that we are at the top not by chance. We are motivated because the last derbies did not go well but we always played well, today we want to give our fans the 3 points.”

The clash between Milan and Inter is valid for the tenth matchday of Serie A. The Nerazzurri, led by Chivu, come to the city derby with the goal of defending their lead in the standings, while the Rossoneri are looking for redemption after the defeat against Bologna. San Siro hosts one of the most anticipated matches of the season, with Inter missing Lautaro Martinez.
