MILAN – It’s almost time! Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio spoke to the media minutes before show time at San Siro between Inter and AC Milan. The first word was on Gnoukouri’s first-ever start for the Nerazzurri: "Seeing an 18-year-old making his debut start in a derby is a great story. I’m convinced he has the quality to do well."
There were then a few questions on the line-up and transfer market: "Shaqiri on the bench? I think the coach just wants consistency and to reaffirm his confidence in those who played at Verona. Dybala’s value? We’ll leave that to the Palermo president. I can confirm we’ve been following him for a long time, since he was playing in the Argentine second tier. He wasn’t ready then but he’s a real player now. It’s an idea but we want to take particular care."
