Former Milan goalkeeper Giovanni Galli has spoken with Gazzetta dello Sport ahead of this weekend’s Milan derby.
“The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about the derby is wanting to win but on this front we Milanisti are calm. Rino Gattuso would be able to give the right motivations even to a piece of wood, then, of course, the tactical aspect will also count in this match.
“The duel between Mauro Icardi and Gonzalo Higuain is the cover story of the match. They are two strikers who can be deadly in the penalty area but to score goals the two Argentinians need the right service.
“Radja Nainggolan can also make his mark on the derby. The former Roma player is good at moving between the lines and he is an important player of Luciano Spalletti. The Rossoneri midfielders will have to be good at reading the movements of Nainggolan in advance.”
He concluded by discussing a prediction for the match.
“I would like to close with a prediction on Sunday night’s challenge, but this time it’s really complicated to chose. Usually, the derby is won by the team that arrives with the most problems. However, Milan and Inter have reached this game by both putting together a run of positive results. The little details, as often happens, will make the difference.”
