Former Milan starlet Alexandre Pato has spoken with Corriere dello Sport ahead of this Sunday’s Milan derby.

“The team that wins will be the one who will have come with the right mindset and mentality for this game. The Milan derby is always very important and difficult to prepare for and play in, good luck to both Inter and Milan,” the Brazilian who is now plying his trade in China said.

“It will be a good match, I see Gattuso is always focused, he is doing a great job but Inter is very strong too and it will be a difficult match.”

Pato then spoke on Mauro Icardi and Gonzalo Higuain.

“Higuain is a great player, he will be protagonist in the derby and I am sure he will do very well in Milan. Icardi too is a great player. I think that the games can be decided by the individual but to win the Scudetto there is always a need for the whole team.”
