Bisseck and Inter keep eyes on real prize: ‘I’ll take derby defeats for Scudetto’ | OneFootball

Inter defender Yann Bisseck is keeping his eyes on the real prize, insisting he’d happily ‘take’ losing both Milan Derbies if it means celebrating the Scudetto.

The Nerazzurri are now seven points clear at the top of the Serie A table, but the gap had been 10 until last night’s 1-0 defeat to their city rivals.

Milan had not won both editions of the Derby della Madonnina in a single Serie A campaign since 2010-11, which is when they ended up taking the title under Max Allegri.

They won both meetings with Inter 1-0 this season, so that gives them bragging rights, but Bisseck is keeping his eyes on the prize.

“If there is a game that we want to win, then it’s the derby, and we haven’t managed it for two years,” confessed the defender at a charity event this evening.

“However, if at the start of the season you tell me that we’ll lose two derbies, but then win the Scudetto, then I’ll take that.”

The title is not quite locked down yet, as Inter have a seven-point advantage with 10 games still to play.

“This is a good advantage to have, but 10 rounds are a lot, and we still have work to do.”

Bisseck had been tipped to make a move to the Premier League last summer, so is he happy with the offers that are bound to come in again?

“When you do well, there are many clubs who want you, but I am concentrated on Inter.”
