Pruzzo: The Milan derby will be about mental strength

Former Roma striker Roberto Pruzzo has said that tactics and formations will not be key to who wins the Milan derby.

Inter and AC Milan meet in what could be a very interesting battle between not only two huge rivals but two of the biggest spenders in the summer.

“I do not think either formations will count because mainly it will come down to mental strength” said Pruzzo to Radio Radio.

“I think Inter has stronger individuals, but I expect to see more from Milan than I have seen in these early games.

“That compactness and mental strength that Mihajlovic showed even last year.”

This will be Sinisa Mihajlovic’s first derby as the Rossoneri coach and he is already under pressure following some underwhelming opening performances.
