“The Derby d’Italia is a game you always want to win,” Stankovic told reporters as he visited Expo in Milan.

“[Coach] Roberto [Mancini] has plenty of players to choose from now that they’re coming back from international duty.

Team manager Dejan Stankovic believes Inter are favourites going into the Derby d’Italia against Juventus.

The Nerazzurri are eight points clear of the defending champions, but have not won this fixture at San Siro since 2010.

“The Derby d’Italia is a game you always want to win,” Stankovic told reporters as he visited Expo in Milan.

“[Coach] Roberto [Mancini] has plenty of players to choose from now that they’re coming back from international duty.

“We’re above Juve in the table and we need to assume the responsibility that comes with being favourites and play with a clear head and lots of passion.

“I’ve played against Juve many times. I remember that amazing goal by Maicon, where he did a few kick-ups on the edge of the box before smashing it home.

“This is the hardest thing about not playing. But it’ll be a great match, a hard-fought match, with a good mix of technique, tactics, mental strength and heart.”
