Video: Boban on what makes the Milan derby so special; favourite memory | OneFootball

AC Milan director Zvonomir Boban has revealed that the Derby della Madonnina is a game like no other ahead of Saturday’s clash.

The Rossoneri head into the clash having picked up two wins from their first three games of the season in Serie A, however their opponents have been in even better form.

The Nerazzurri have a perfect record thus far with three wins out of three under Antonio Conte, but Milan know they can leapfrog their rivals with a win in the ‘home derby’ on Saturday.

Now the Chief Football Officer at Milan, Boban spoke about his experiences of the derby as a player and the emotions that will accompany him on Saturday night in an interview on the official AC Milan app.

“When football is explained it is often said that there are no words to describe certain moments and the derby is certainly one of them,” he said, via MilanNews.it.

“If you haven’t played it you don’t really understand it and even if you played it you can’t describe the intensity, the passion and even the pressure that accompanies this match.

“Then if you have courage, if you have personality, as soon as you touch the first ball, everything disappears, as always happens in football.

However, the Derby Eve is different from all the other games, where many times you have to look for extra motivations, in this it is almost the opposite: you have to try to relax because otherwise you risk being overwhelmed by emotions.
