Davide Calabria spoke to Milan TV and this is what he had to say:
"Where there is a need I play. I have always been a wild card in the youth sector as well. I started as a midfielder and then I moved to be full-back. I know how to move in multiple roles and this is a positive fact. You have to know how to move. with intelligence."
On his way of being on the pitch:
"It's the Milan style. From an early age you grow up with discipline, with respect for your teammates and opponents. You have to grow with respect but without fear of anyone."
On his rebirth and form:
"Surely I had a bad year, both me and the team have suffered a lot. We let ourselves be discouraged but I realized that we had to work and roll up our sleeves."
About his season and his offensive plays:
"At the start, Mister Pioli demanded a lot of attention to the defensive phase and the balance in that department considering Theo's moves forward. This made me grow a lot and helped me a lot from a defensive point of view. Then I started to advance also considering the style of play of the team. I really like playing forward and having this freedom from the coach."
On the fans' support:
"I am very happy because it is nice that they appreciate what I do. You always have to be focused always because there are few breaks. There was a lot of work behind it but the merits also go to the team."
On the objectives for the season:
"Seeing the numbers is something that stimulates me to try to limit the star of the opposing team. Trying to be decisive defensively makes me proud. This year there are not many opponents who have put me in difficulty but perhaps the most difficult moment was the first minutes as a midfielder."
Do you talk about the dream of the Scudetto in the locker room?
"The logo we wear on our chests shouldn't make us afraid to say that word. We don't talk about it much but it is obvious that we think about it a bit."
On his passion for basketball:
"I follow NBA highlights. . I am a huge fan of the Warriors and how the team was built. They have a similar path to AC Milan, of a gradual construction. I was there when Bryant came to Milanello but he was one of my idols for his work ethic. His death touched me a lot."
On the young group:
"We are living this moment very positively. It was born a little by chance, thanks to our daily work and we have seen that the potential we have combined with hard work leads to great results. There are teams better equipped than us but the spirit we have can take us until the end."
On the club being active in the mercato:
"We really appreciate the club intervening in the transfer market because it is right that the squad is strengthened if there's a chance. With new additions, we can endure the absences that we have in the group."
