After an important twin thanks to a double from you and Comi, how, do you go about preparing for the derby?“We’re serious about the game and aware of our strengths. We’re really punmped up there’s no point in hiding it. It’s always a special game. When you’re winning, everything is easier to face. We hope we’ll do well.”The last precedent was positive. A lot of fans and a lot of pressure. What do you expect for Saturday?“I don’t expect as many people as it’s not a play off, but it’s still the derby and there should be enough fans watching the game.”Is there any anger at having been knocked out of the Viareggio cup? “I think we’ve put that aside. We look forward and not back. We’ll stay on out roud aware of our strengths.”Inter won the first leg when Valoti got injured. What do you expect this time?“I expect them to have a lot of possession as they’re good at that and I expect something more from us than what we showed in the first game.”How important is the game?“I think for me it’s particularly important. They’re one of the only teams, if not the only team that I haven’t scored against in four years with the Milan youth sector.”How the partnership with Comi? You two have more than 30 goals so far this season.“We’re slowly getting better. It’s not easy but like you said we’ve scored a few goals between us. We’re improving our understanding and we’re playing more together. The cohesion is improving.”
