P. Maldini - about the derby: "Psychological advantage - on the side of Inter players"

Whole Italy is holding its breath waiting for tonight's match between the clubs "Inter" and "Milan". The eternal rivals' duel has already set a record in "Serie A" - all 79 thousand tickets for the "San Siro" arena have been sold, bringing in 4.8 million euros. The previous achievement, announced at the end of last season, was 600 thousand euros less. Before the match, "Milan" legend Paolo Maldini cautiously assessed the chances of his former team and urged the "red and blacks" not to lose. "Inter" has achieved good results, but does not show a beautiful game. Last summer, "Milan" bought 11 new players, so it will take time for a real team to form. In this championship, both teams have not yet shown their full potential, for example, Vincenzo Montella's players have so far been unable to beat strong teams. Psychological advantage is on the side of the "Inter" players. I'm not saying that a defeat for the "Milan" team would eliminate their chances of taking one of the top spots, but in that case, both teams would already have a 10-point gap. Personally, I hope that "Napoli" will triumph in the championship, as they demonstrate fantastic football," Maldini said.
