"We know where we come from, and we know where we are. And when you have that awareness, you have more certainty about where you want to go. The past doesn't interest me, and I'm not interested in hyping things up by saying we haven't won the last five against Milan either. I want grit, passion, but also smiles. I talk about smiles and happiness too - football is a beautiful game that brought them here."
"They must not forget where they started and how much effort they've put in. But that doesn't mean someone has to tell us we need to win every single match. No, not like that. I want people who enjoy themselves and who find responsibility in that enjoyment. Carrying forward the project and the ambitions. Only that way can you grow."
Inter head into the derby against Milan without dwelling on recent struggles and aim to focus on the immediate challenge. The teams met five times last season across Serie A, Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana, with Milan winning three and drawing two. Milan have claimed the last two away derby victories versus Inter. Inter sit top of Serie A, two points ahead of third-place Milan after 11 games. The team emphasises awareness of origins, balancing grit and passion with enjoyment, and carrying forward the club project and ambitions rather than pressuring constant wins.
