MILAN – After the derby spoils were shared, Juan Jesus spoke to Inter Channel about the match.
“I’m patched up? Yeah, I took a knock towards the end but it’s all ok. We’ll be fine tomorrow.”
On the how the game went: “We needed another goal. We played well though. They only had one chance in the first half and they scored from it. In the second half we didn’t play quite so well but we created lots of chances. We just needed that second goal.
He then commented on playing with a back four. “I think we did a pretty good job. We’re still not completely used to all the movements we have to make but the gaffer is helping us and it’ll come. I need to keep learning and improving myself so that I don’t make any mistakes at all.”
Next up is a home match against Dnipro in the Europa League. “Thursday’s going to be a tough game but we have to win it so that we can put the group stage to bed.”

MILAN – Zdravko Kuzmanovic spoke to Inter Channel after the derby.
“We were all very focused today and I think we can be happy with our performance,” the 27-year-old began.
The gaffer wants us to get the ball forward as quickly as possible: two touches at the most then you have to pass it on. He also told us we needed to stay compact in a 4-3-3.
“Guarin and Obi? They worked well. We tried to move the ball around in the first half as well but then Milan went and scored a very good goal. I’m pleased for Obi and his goal”. Now we must quickly turn out attentions to the Europa League: we need to win that one.”

MILAN – Sunday night’s derby ended in a 1-1 draw and it leaves the gap between the two sides in the league table unchanged. The rossoneri however came close to finding a second goal, especially in the second half.
Filippo Inzaghi’s side broke the deadlock on 23 minutes thanks to a fabulous side-footed volley from Jeremy Menez but the nerazzurri managed to equalise through Obi in the second-half.
The rossoneri came close to finding a winner and El Shaarawy hit the crossbar while Poli, 2 minutes from the end, saw his effort deflected agonisingly wide of the post.
Following the derby day draw, Milan are now on 18 points in the league table.
Here are some of the stats to emerge from Sunday night’s derby:
3- the number of assists by Stephan El Shaarawy. His first was for Honda on the opening day of the season against Lazio. He then provided another assist to Honda against Hellas Verona in round 7. In Sunday’s derby, El Shaarawy provided the cross for Menez’s wonderful finish which broke the deadlock at the San Siro.
14- the number of draws in derby matches that have taken place during the month of November. The record now reads: 12 wins for Milan, 12 wins for Inter and 14 draws.
24 October 2004- the last time that the derby ended in a draw with Milan as the home side. On that day, the match ended 0-0. Coaching Inter back then was the current nerazzurri coach Roberto Mancini.
5- the number of goals scored by Menez in Serie A this season. His fabulous finish this evening was his second goal from open play. The other was his wonderful back-heel flick away to Parma in the thrilling 5-4 win on the 14th of September 2014.
200- the number of professional career appearances for Andrea Poli at club level. Sunday’s appearance in the derby means Poli has now played 140 matches in Serie A, 36 in Serie B, 8 in the Italian Cup and 16 in the European competitions with Treviso, Sampdoria, Sassuolo, Inter and Milan.
