Diego Moreira, one of AC Milan's standout performers at the start of this season, was interviewed by RTL Info at Belgium's training camp.
He spoke about his great performance in the last derby which was won by the Rossoneri 3-1.
Here's what he said:
"We know how important a match like the Derby is in Italy. We imposed our rhythm and our style of play. I was decisive in that match, but it was also thanks to my team-mates. It is something that will remain in my memory forever."
On Milan's busy schedule, Moreira said:
"These have been rather complicated weeks because we played a series of matches with injured players. It was very intense, but it was up to us to prepare as well as possible."
On the No. 22 shirt, previously worn by Kaká:
"It is an honour to play with his number. But I am building my career and trying to make a name for myself."
On the strong competition in the national team:
"It certainly makes you want to play even more. We know we have extraordinary players on the bench. I have to continue proving my worth and giving the coach good reasons to play me. In terms of confidence, I feel good. But that does not mean I should rest on my laurels."
Moreira on De Winter's decision to reject van Bommel's call-up:
"It is a personal matter. It is his choice; it concerns him and the coach. I am not here to talk about this, his life or his playing time; you will have to ask him."
