MILAN – Inter coach Walter Mazzarri held his pre-match press conference ahead of this weekend’s derby this afternoon:"I want attentiveness and aggression. After that we have to stay calm to express ourselves to the best of our abilities. It’s the first derby for me and there’s always the adrenalin rush when you do something for the first time. I’m curious to see what I feel when we take to the pitch. In Genoa, the derby is a big match as well. I’ll know what it feels like when I get on the pitch but for now I’m just concentrating on the game and what I have to say to the players tactically and technically. I’ll prepare the game like any other but of course I’m human and when you’re there in that atmosphere, it’ll definitely be something special. The team have to be prepared. I’d like to see the team play in a certain way, the way I like, with the ball on the ground. I hold Allegri in high esteem professionally as he does me. When two coaches are doing what’s best for their teams, things can happen but the important thing is mutual respect.”
