APPIANO GENTILE - Hernan Jorge Crespo press conference (3):
Are you ready for the derby?
I'm here. If it were up to me... I always want to play... I can train forever, but to return to being the
true Crespo I need to play matches. It will depend on the boss. I don't know if or for how long I will
play, whether it will be for thirty minutes, forty, sixty...
Do you have ninety minutes in you?
Yes, and I've demonstrated this to myself. I was obviously tired after so long without playing a match.
I played more in defence than attack. I tried to follow Albelda and Baraja to prevent them from
moving around..
Will it be a different kind of match with Milan?
I don't know, but I hope it finishes 1-0 to us like yesterday. I like spectacular football and I like to
play well, but the derby is something completely different. It will be a tough match and we'll have to
grit our teeth. We'll have to be cynical like we were against Valencia.
Milan played less well in the cup. So do you have the resources to win?
There's still a month and a half until the end. It's a difficult moment, just like it's difficult to be fresh
for these matches. You need to give everything you have. This is how you play derbies.
