"It's testing, we're still talking about it. He had a very special relationship with him, he cared a lot about him, he felt he was part of the family. But that's life, and you move on."
"I've won enough derbies, I won the one that mattered on May 26th in Rome, but now in this new adventure at Milan we must focus only on winning against a very strong opponent. With a win tonight, we'll catch up with the top group in the table, and we must be very positive."
"Nkunku has played 72% of his career as a striker. He's a somewhat unusual striker. He can do it well, even with his back to goal. This is his first time playing with Leao. In training, they showed they can work together, but we'll see."
AC Milan host Roma at San Siro in a pivotal Serie A fixture with the winner able to move above Roma in the table. Napoli drew 0-0 with Como while Inter won late at Verona. Massimiliano Allegri made two changes: Christopher Nkunku replaces the injured Santiago Gimenez and Koni De Winter replaces Fikayo Tomori. Roma have conceded just four goals in nine matches and currently sit three points clear. Sporting director Igli Tare reflected on Galeone's recent passing, praised Nkunku's striker experience and compatibility with Rafael Leao in training, and affirmed the club's confidence in Gimenez despite his injury.
