"Mentally, will the derby leave you with something positive or negative? 'The result usually leaves you with a positive feeling for the following days. If it's a negative result, it leaves you with a bit of disappointment, a bit of hurt, but then we have a lot of other games to play. So we need to analyse what happens tomorrow to try to improve.'"
"Leao described you as a father, is that right? 'I was pleased with Rafa's words, but I think my staff and I need to be there to support the players and try to improve them physically, technically, and psychologically. This is very important. I think Rafa has taken a step forward because I think he's understood that a striker is valued for the goals he scores.' Can Leao score 20 goals? 'For now, he's at four. Let's hope he continues, then we'll see (laughs).' "
AC Milan prepare for the first Milan derby with kick-off at 20:45 CET and a need to respond after a 2-2 draw with Parma. Inter sit two points above Milan, with the potential to extend the gap or for Milan to overtake them with a win. Allegri emphasizes the importance of supporting players physically, technically and psychologically and highlights Rafael Leao's development and goal-scoring value. Leao has four goals so far, and Allegri hopes he continues. Adrien Rabiot's return adds experience to a squad mixing veterans and less experienced players. The main objective remains returning to the Champions League.
