"Since the start of this year, we've improved and have a different approach to games, because we don't underestimate or over-estimate anyone. Milan have top individual players, but we must be the best version of ourselves. I expect consistency in all the good things we've done so far, and the way we reacted to a few defeats and disappointments, such as Bodo."
"The derby is always a special, special game. It's beautiful to play and experience. It will definitely be a great evening of sport. But, the three points in the derby are worth the same as the three points next Sunday. It's important to pick up points tomorrow, it won't be easy against a strong team."
Inter manager Cristian Chivu prepares his team for a crucial Serie A derby against AC Milan, seeking victory to extend their league lead. Despite recent Champions League elimination by Bodo/Glimt, Inter remains unbeaten in the league since November's loss to Milan. The team has won eight consecutive league matches since a January draw with Napoli, marking their turning point this season. Chivu emphasizes consistency and maintaining their best form against Milan's strong individual players. A win would allow Inter to achieve 10 consecutive away Serie A victories for the first time since 2006-2007. Milan's coach Massimiliano Allegri acknowledges the derby's special significance while noting that three points carry equal value regardless of opponent.
