Former Inter coach Alberto Zaccheroni has suggested that Inter have got more professionalism than AC Milan do ahead of the derby on Sunday, according to a report in the Italian media.

Whilst speaking to Tuttosport, Alberto Zaccheroni explained that he thinks it will be Napoli who win the title, but both Milan teams have their positives ahead of the derby.

“I like Milan very much. But this may not be their year, I would say it’s a very good year for Napoli. Spalletti in the first year in a team is always very dangerous. Derby? Milan has more pace, Inter more professionalism.”

Alberto Zaccheroni also picked out some players from each team that he thinks will be key to the outcome of the Derby della Madonnina.

“Ibrahimovic and Dzeko shift the balance, but watch out for the various Barella, Correa, Brahim Diaz and Leao.”

Inter has been heavily linked with Fiorentina’s Serbian striker, Dusan Vlahovic, ever since the latter end of the previous Serie A campaign in which he scored 21 goals.

Alberto Zaccheroni believes that whichever team manages to sign the 21-year-old striker will be getting an excellent player for a very good price.

“Vlahovic would suit everyone in Italy. Whoever takes him makes the best deal. For Inter he could be the ideal after Dzeko, for Milan the post-Ibra.”

It has been made clear by the club that Dusan Vlahovic will not be extending his deal with the club.
