Inter midfielder says Milan have ‘great quality’ but he remains confident of derby victory

Inter midfielder Kristjan Asllani has admitted that there is quality in the AC Milan team right now but he is confident that the Nerazzurri can win the Derby della Madonnina on Saturday.

Speaking during an interview with Klan TV (via Pianeta Milan), the Albanian midfielder spoke confidently coming into what is the biggest game of the season so far for both teams.

Only Inter and Milan have got a 100% record in Serie A after three games so any winner will end Matchday 4 at the top of the table.

Asllani is clearly looking forward to the game and respects Milan, but has faith in his own team to get the three points.

“Derby on Saturday? Milan is a team of great quality, it will be a beautiful match. We are strong, I am confident. I know we will do well and give our all to win,” Asllani said.

Asllani is hoping for more minutes in the Inter midfield this season after spending much of his first season at the club on the bench.

With the early form of the likes of Hakan Calhanoglu, Nicolo Barella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, he may struggle to break into the starting eleven much.
