Spalletti: ‘Icardi like Ibrahimovic’

Spalletti: ‘Icardi like Ibrahimovic’

Luciano Spalletti talked to assembled media on Saturday afternoon on the eve of the derby of Milan.

“We want to continue our positive path, we must be convinced that we will win. Icardi? Despite his young age, he has large shoulders,  almost as much as Ibra. He knows what he must do to improve. He is on very good terms with everybody, he is having the right behaviour.”

“I think it’s the team that makes the difference, not an individual. We are working hard on this group dynamic, remembering it’s the group that defends, the group that creates a goal and the group that attacks.”

“Cancelo is like a new signing for us,  I am happy that is eligible to play again. I appreciate Vincenzo Montella, his style of working and his general approach to life. We are friends, former teammates, he was my player and we’re colleagues. I agree with him that the current seven-point gap between Inter and Milan isn’t an accurate reflection, but that’s not our fault.”
