Leão fires up the derby: “We are ready. This is an important opportunity for us”

Rafael Leão spoke at a press conference on the eve of the derby, displaying confidence, maturity, and great awareness of the moment. The Portuguese forward explained that the whole team is focused and determined: “All the players are ready for the match. We want to prepare well for this game; it’s the derby and Inter is a good group, they have built a strong team. For us, it’s an opportunity to reach the top of the table and you can already feel the atmosphere of this weekend.”

Leão didn’t just present the challenge, but also gave an honest assessment of the club’s recent journey. “Last year was difficult,” he admitted, “but this year many new players have arrived. The club, the structure, everyone has done a great job: they brought in a great director, kept Ibra, brought in Allegri who has a lot of experience, and brought in Luka Modric. I think these pieces are important for us, especially for the younger players.” Although the season is still long, Leão urges everyone to maintain balance, but he looks at Sunday’s match as a crucial step. “We want to achieve good results, step by step. And Sunday is an opportunity to show what we can do.”
