"It's been almost two decades at Lazio, wonderful years. I carry with me fantastic memories, we won and we celebrated so much. It will always remain a part of my heart: so many years lived well. I'm very excited, but as soon as the match starts I'll be rooting for Milan."
"Mike is fine, he's as we thought he could be: he's having a great season together. We made a pact at the start of the season, we're moving forward without putting pressure on each other. There's a calm atmosphere, today we're focusing on the game and then we'll see how things go."
"We analysed last season at length. We tried to bring in players with great personality who could make a significant impact on the team. His impact was devastating, even for us. A wonderful discovery, but knowing him personally, as a man and a professional, it's no surprise."
Igli Tare spent almost two decades at Lazio and retains strong emotional ties while intending to support Milan once the match begins. Milan can move top of the table with a win over Lazio, who have recovered after a difficult start. Massimiliano Allegri made one enforced change: Christopher Nkunku starts in place of the injured Christian Pulisic. Milan and Mike Maignan agreed a pact at the season's start to proceed calmly on renewal talks without pressure. Luka Modric was targeted after thorough analysis for his personality and capacity to make a significant, immediate impact.
