AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli hailed their support ahead of Sunday's derby with Inter.
Around 300 Milan fans gathered outside Milanello to support the Rossoneri on Saturday morning.
“Our fans are special, it's a pity we can't play in a packed San Siro," said Pioli. "They've always supported and us. We hope it's the last derby without them.
“Both us and Inter have a clear identity. The derbies are always balanced matches with many goal scoring opportunities.
“Tomorrow we must be compact and try to be clinical, we want to play a high-level game," Pioli added.
How are they going to cope with Inter's pressure?
"In our preparation we always think about how our opponents can attack us, we must be lucid and precise.
“Opponents always give some spaces and we must make the right choices," Pioli explained.
Sandro Tonali could start to replace the injured Ismael Bennacer.
"I am absolutely convinced that Tonali has enormous potential, but he is very young," Pioli claimed.
“He's growing up well, he'll be a very strong player, but he's showing his own qualities.
“Even if you are young, you have to live up to expectations, but he is serene and motivated, like his teammates."
