Pierre Kalulu, who joined the Rossoneri in the previous mercato for free from Lyon has managed to show impressive abilities and skills in his first season so far. The French 20 year-old spoke to Milan TV, these were his statements:
"Joining Milan? I immediately felt proud, it was my contract as a professional. It's a great emotion. And Milan is a historic club, so it's normal to be proud."
"It was the eve of Sparta-Milan and the coach asked me if I had already played as central, I said yes. He put me on the pitch and it went well. It was quite simple."
"With Parma it was a bit of a surprise, everything happened quickly in the first minutes of play. But after the surprise you had to get into the game immediately and I think I succeeded. Honestly there was no the time to feel too much emotion, it was all very fast."
"With Romagnoli we understand each other well on the pitch, he advises me which position to keep. We coordinate well. I feel good with the other defenders too, we talk to each other and we follow the same principles of play and we play football. It's that simple."
"Being compared to Marcel Desailly flatters me a lot. I'm young and I haven't had the chance to see him play to his full potential. However I think there are similar aspects but I don't think we are the same. He is him and I am me."
"The coach gives me confidence and puts me at ease. I'm young and I learn a lot from the coach and his staff. They give me advice according to the match. I like it a lot because they also give me freedom, they let me play as I know and trust me."
"We listen to what Ibrahimovic tells us, of course. When a player with a history and a career like his talks, it is normal to listen. I try to follow what he says, while playing my football, but his advice is important."
"It is an important match against Cagliari on Monday. We will try to prepare well and win it."
