7.00pm – The press conference is scheduled to begin at 7.15 pm.
7.21pm – Krunic’s press conference begins.
What do you feel?
“Definitely a great emotion, I spent a lot of my career here. I haven’t heard from my former teammates, I’ll play against them soon: it’s a special occasion and I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s match.”
What match are you expecting tomorrow?
“It’s as if Inter were a train, they have been playing with the same system for years. We are a great club, we have won the Champions League in the past and we can compete with anyone. It is not easy to challenge opponents of this level, much higher than to that of our championship. We prepared the match in the best possible way.”
You have played in Milan for a long time and you know the atmosphere of the stadium, but there will be no Red Star fans there. How much will it weigh?
“All of us have played in big stadiums, in front of many fans: I personally will miss their support. It still wouldn’t have been the same as at Marakanà, but they would have helped us anyway and it’s a shame that they won’t be able to attend tomorrow’s show “.
Is there a derby flavor?
“Yes, obviously yes. I have already said that I have been here for many years, I have gone through bad and beautiful moments. I have remained a Milan fan, inside my heart. It was nice to see Milan win the derby, I can’t wait to demonstrate tomorrow my value in this competition.”
Is there an Inter player to whom you have paid particular attention?
“Yes, I know Inter and many players well. I think their strength is not a single player, I think they have a lot of quality in the group. They are doing an incredible job, they started the year a little worse but they are coming off a victory Inter’s main strength is the group, I don’t want to talk about individuals.”
7.26pm – Krunic’s press conference concluded.
