Tassotti: “Milan, the objective of the derby is not to ruin Inter’s Scudetto celebration”

Mauro Tassotti presents the Madonnina derby. The former Rossoneri defender spoke to the notebooks of today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport of the match between Milan and Inter on Monday evening: “Even if it would be something that causes pain, the objective of this derby must not be to postpone Inter’s championship, but to prove themselves worthy of them. Milan must play a proud match because he has lost the last five derbies and this is something that bothers me about the sequence of defeats.

However, it is not with this match that Milan can save the season, not even if they win 5-0. Milan must win regardless because they have Inter ahead of them. This concept of winning the derby to save the season never existed, not even when we were a minor Milan in the early 1980s. It’s something we never thought of, not even then, never perceived.

What would I say to my classmates? I would tell them that they need to put everything they have into it. They owe it to the people, to society and to the coat of arms they wear on their chest. To the shirt. Pegs at the end of the line? I think he did a great job, there’s no doubt about that. I have always defended his actions. From the outside, frankly, I can’t understand how it will end.”
