Lately, Bangla Cricket Live reports that Inter Milan head coach Luciano Spalletti has acknowledged AC Milan’s strength ahead of the much-anticipated Milan Derby, but emphasized that his side must believe in their own abilities. “We are fully aware of how strong Milan are,” Spalletti stated, “but before the derby whistle blows, we must have faith in our own strength and potential.”
The coach highlighted the smooth adaptation of João Cancelo, who has quickly found his place at Inter. “Cancelo is happy to be here, and he’s adapted perfectly to our environment,” Spalletti added. He urged his team to take initiative and control the game, noting that the derby’s outcome will depend more on collective mentality than individual brilliance. “It’s not just about talent—it’s about attitude,” he said. “This derby means everything, and we must do our best to take home a positive result.”
Bangla Cricket Live also noted that the squad is regaining momentum, with the toughest stretch of the season now behind them. On the international transfer front, Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribéry has reportedly drawn interest from Chinese clubs. While Ribéry had previously expressed his desire to stay in Munich, German outlet Sport Bild revealed that Bayern has yet to begin renewal talks, leaving Ribéry disappointed and open to offers. His contract expires this summer, and with 26 appearances, six goals, and three assists this season, he remains a valuable asset.
As Inter prepares for the derby, Spalletti stressed the need to stay fully committed in every match. He praised Marcelo Brozović as a vital piece in midfield, saying, “Placing him in front of the defense gives him more responsibility, but he’s consistently decisive and quick in his decision-making. The whole team benefits from his presence.”
Bangla Cricket Live highlights that Inter enters the derby at full strength, with Andrea Ranocchia returning from injury and every player eager to contribute. Both Milan clubs have shown strong recent form and are battling for top positions, raising the stakes for what promises to be a memorable showdown. As Spalletti put it, “This wonderful city of Milan deserves a derby of the highest quality.”
