On the eve of the derby against Inter, Milan's coach Stefano Pioli is confident that his team is ready to do well in San Siro on Saturday: "We are ready to play the derby, we will feel the game despite not having the supporters in the stadium. The gap between us and Inter has become smaller, but now we have to prove it on the pitch. We want to do better than them and win the game", Pioli said in the pre-match press conference.
"I think that the defeat in last year's derby was a very important moment in our journey because we realised that we had the quality to play at the same level of a great opponent. We will play against a strong, very strong team, a team that has the ambition to win in Italy and in Europe, we will go on the pitch and try to do better than them. Rebic? He will not be available for the derby, he will undergo further tests next week. Ibrahimovic? He has returned with the same determination as his first day here. He didn't train much lately, but he is ready to play, even though I don't know how many minutes he can play", concluded the coach.
