Former AC Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi says he enjoys their football ahead of Inter Milan's.
There are only two points separating the local rivals at the top of the table, with Milan currently leaders.
“Milan are not the strongest squad, but they are the one closest in spirit to a European style of football, more international, along with Atalanta," wrote Sacchi in La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“They have a team spirit that few sides can embody. On the other hand, Inter have a much stronger squad, but the football they play is still stuck in the 1960s.
“Inter play that football well, but it is an out-dated style that doesn't help them at international level."
The Rossoneri kept top spot thanks to a last-gasp 2-1 victory away to Lazio, with Sandro Tonali on target in stoppages.
“Milan are made up of a group of young lads and a few old boys who have given so much. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is no longer a great player at his age, but he remains a great man.
“The club deserves credit for balancing the books and creating a team out of mainly unknown players. They mustn't lose that enthusiasm, that style of football."
