Pietro Paolo Virdis comments on the Derby Della Madonnina on today's pages of Tuttosport in an interview . Here are the words of the historic Rossoneri striker:
On Ibrahimovic:
"He is a monument. At 40, being decisive for the fate of the championship is a big merit, something that does him honor. He can even still win the top scorer, despite missing a few games. Ibra possesses impressive physical qualities. Technique, and charisma, he was able to drag others along. You can't ask for more from him."
Ibrahimovic or Lukaku, who do you choose?
"My heart beats more for Milan, so I say Ibra, but Lukaku was really a great discovery."
On the Ibra-Lukaku fight in the derby:
"There must have been some unreseolved issues in the past between them which must be clarified. But this is superficial, it is being talked about too much. They were both warned and that's it. Now it's all media, it is exaggerated."
On the qualities of Ibrahimovic and Lukaku:
"Zlatan is more technical and more decisive than the Belgian. Lukaku is also a finisher and is capable of using his speed."
A prediction for the derby:
"It is usually said that the underdog team will win. This is the reason why Milan let Inter overtake them (laughs). I hope the Rossoneri find the right anger and malice to confirm the team's growth. An important derby will finally be played, really. The Milanese are back in the competition."
