AC Milan's Ghanaian midfielder Sulley Muntari has revealed coach Pippo Inzaghi is always demanding more from his players and this will count when they clash with arch rival Inter Milan on Sunday.
Muntari, the Ghana international is fired up for the Milan Derby on Sunday and revealsà PippoInzaghià ââ¬Åis constantly on our backs.ââ¬
The Rossoneri go head-to-head with rivals Inter this weekend at 19.45 GMT.
ââ¬ÅWe are improving and must continue along this path,â⬠midfielderà Muntarià told Milan Channel.
ââ¬ÅThe derby means so much for us, for the table, but also for our self-confidence. We must give our all for our fans. It is going to be a very important match and weââ¬â¢ll do everything to win.
ââ¬ÅThis is a unique event and therefore means a huge amount in the city. Weââ¬â¢ve certainly been very focused and concentrated on the game. Weââ¬â¢ve got to run and fight to the end, not think of what could go wrong.ââ¬
Preparations have been forced to change over the last few days, as Inter sacked Coach Walterà Mazzarrià to bring in Robertoà Mancini.
ââ¬ÅMancinià is a great Coach who has done well everywhere. He will have an influence, but he wonââ¬â¢t be the one playing on the pitch. It all depends on the players,â⬠continuedà Muntari.
ââ¬ÅInzaghià is not acting any different to usual, as heââ¬â¢s always tense and every week from Monday to Sunday heââ¬â¢s constantly on our backs.
ââ¬ÅHe is our guide and we have to follow him if we want to do well.ââ¬
Nigel deà Jongà will miss the derby after picking up an injury on international duty with Holland.
ââ¬ÅNigel will be missed, but we have the players who can make up for his absence. We are all ready to help each other out.
ââ¬ÅI havenââ¬â¢t scored a goal in the derby, but the important thing is that the team does well, so even if I donââ¬â¢t net and we win, Iââ¬â¢ll still be happy.
ââ¬ÅFernando Torres deserves a goal, as heââ¬â¢s a great striker.ââ¬
