Milan defender Alessio Romagnoli will be one of the main protagonist on Sunday at San Siro, wearing the armaband for the first time in a derby. The centre-back discussed his feelings approaching to this important game and draw a comparisons between the two Argentinian strikers leading both teams attack, Icardi and Higuain: "The derby is a unique game played in one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world. Milan are an amazing team, they are one of the most successful clubs of all time - Romagnoli said to Sky Sport - Icardi? He is fantastic, he is great in the box and he is very difficult to mark. But it's also exciting to play against him. On the other hand Higuain have scored more than him, even though he is a few years older. El Pipita is one of the best, if not the best, striker in the world and I hope that he will help us win the game on Sunday".
Romagnoli also talked about his teammates in defence and his expectations for the season: "Musacchio and Caldara are doing well to replace Bonucci. Everone know Leonardo's value and everyon would want to play alongside him, but he and the club made their choices. Goals for the season? We have to finish as high as possible in Serie A and go as far as possible in Europa League. Gattuso? We have complete faith in him. He gave us all his passion and his grit when he came, he has alway been on our side and we would die for him".
