THE PRINCE AWAKES
Milito to start (after almost 6 months) against Schalke: "I am ready."
Leo leaves behind the beating in the derby: "We will rise this time."
Rooting for them will be 80,000 fans as the San Siro is sold out.
EURO INTER: WILL YOU BE THERE?
Leo: "We'll rise this time."
Schalke are coming: "We are still on course for everything and I can change the system or the players."
Appiano Gentile - There is nothing certain about tomorrow but according to Leonardo, there is one. One certainty above all: "This team has always taken every negative result and turned it in a better way. I am convinced that this will happen again this time." Leonardo also refers to Massimo Moratti: "He was disappointed like we all were. No one knows the magic formula on how to get over defeats. But the main thing here is to look back at the success. And then when the bitterness has finally gone, we will look back with even more clarity to see the good that we've done." Leonardo continues: "But not all the games are the same and if I haven't won at home in the Champions League, it was faith and bad luck."
We are not Big Brothers "Maybe next year I will not be here," Leonardo said. Next year is still too far for anything, according to his philosophy. "The derby was a fundamental experience for my work and my future," he said it yesterday in his own way to turn off the centrifuge that was whipped with the pressure and resentment before, during and after the game on Saturday. Including the insults by Gattuso, with alleged apologies that Leonardo neither did confirm nor deny: "I did not see anything and we didn't cross paths. There is nothing to debate because we are not Big Brothers. I do feel privileged because only I can experience certain emotions, only I can understand the reactions and why some something was said or done."
In the race for all Now it's time for him to talk about Inter and what can happen between tonight and the end of May: "It is not that we feel like we are still in the running for everything because we are in the running for everything. One certainty is that this team can not change just because of one loss, otherwise we wouldn't have won so much for so long. A defeat does not make this team more angry or more horrible." Last year, then this year, particularly in Munich: "That victory gave us a strong mentality. We won because we never gave up and doing so can reverse any situation."
The players, not the system Tonight, he could make some adjustments such as the team's system of play. Leonardo first reiterates occasional responses to certain number from the derby: "I have this label of someone who does not care too much about tactics but conceding a goal after 43 seconds is not a matter of tactics. I remain convinced that this team, starting with the midfielders can play a different way: you can change the system as well as the players or you can just analyze all players' moments. Or even look for answers in previous games. Players' condition is really important because you can ask a striker to defend more or a midfielder to attack."
Raul the symbol He does not expect surprises from Schalke 04: "I don't think they will be any different from what we have been studying. Raul has taken up such a different challenge with so much pride and enthusiasm. He is one of the symbols of Schalke's great cavalcade."
