Pavlovic says Milan must once again show ‘great mentality’ against Inter | OneFootball

Strahinja Pavlovic spoke to the media ahead of AC Milan’s encounter with Inter tonight. He stated that the team has been very focused on the big game, hoping that they can display a strong mentality once again.

Pavlovic has enjoyed a resurgence if you like in the last few weeks, going from the bench to starting three consecutive games. As it happens, he has also been one of the best players for the Rossoneri, even if the team should have done better against Dinamo Zagreb last time out.

Speaking to DAZN this evening, as transcribed by MilanNews, the Serbian shared his thoughts on the game and Milan’s current mood. He highlighted the previous two derby wins and the great mentality displayed then.

Feelings of the week?

“Focused on derby day, we had to prepare and try to get the most out of our training.”

You are playing from start…

“My first derby as a starter, I’m ready and excited. I hope it goes in the best possible way”.

How was it preparing for the derby with the transfer market open?

“Yes, it was a bit strange. There is a lot of talk in the media, two players left but we are all united and today we want to win, we worked well”.

What are your feelings for this derby?

“We won the last two against them, both in the same way at the last minute. We showed great mentality and I hope we will do the same today.”

Pavlovic is teaming up with Fikayo Tomori in defence tonight, as the Englishman rejected a departure, and they will also be joined by Kyle Walker. He is making his debut for the team and will be looking to start off on the right foot.
