The derby is always a spectacular match, two teams from the same city that go head to head, both sides will be really up for it, and both will be wanting to win, and we probably need this win a bit more than them at the moment. It’s important for us and we’ve been doing alright recently. We got the draw on Monday against a side that plays really well, and there was some disappointment because at the end we could have even won it but in the end I think a draw was probably the right result.
I can’t imagine a derby without both the terraces full of fans and I hope they’ll both be open, as it adds to the spectacle. It’s great to see the banners on both ends of the pitch and I read Galliani’s comments this morning and I’m in complete agreement with him.
I said I wanted to be drawn with Atletico Madrid, it was my only experience as a footballer abroad and I was very happy with the time I spent there. It was something that came from the heart. I’m aware that at this moment in time they are one of the best teams in Europe, they’re playing well, they haven’t lost and they’re getting some fantastic results, it won’t be an easy match but there are still 2 months to go
There are no doubts that Gabriel has to improve, but he’s young, he’s 20/21 years of age and if I’m not wrong this is his first experience, apart from the Olympics. He’s a good keeper for me with great qualities. The mistakes on Monday night are probably down to a desire to do well, maybe overdoing things but he has quality and can be the future of the team.
We need the 3 points more than them right now.
Like some of my other team-mates if Milan say that’s the end, then Abbiati will also say that’s the end.
