The new signing Soualiho Meité was interviewed by Sky Sport. These are the words of the midfielder:
“Being in Milan with this team, with this strong group, with this ranking is a great pleasure. We cannot be afraid of Inter or Napoli. They have strong players, but we must continue to have confidence and keep going as we have done until now.”
On playing with Ibrahimovic:
“With Ibrahimovic, I noticed that even when we play for fun and don’t do the exercise well, he raises his voice and then we immediately resume working harder. You feel that there is something more inside the team. There are many young people, who are calm and enjoy life, Ibra instead says how things should be done and everyone listens and that is important.”
On coach Pioli:
“The Coach asks for a lot of intensity and for me it’s normal. If the midfield is yours, it is easier to control the game. It’s normal for me, as a midfielder, to give intensity and run because that’s where we play. Milan is a team that has a lot of the ball possession and when you have to press you go straight to 100% because you are fresh. There is a way of playing that I am delighted with. Now I’m 26, I’m no longer a kid, I have the experience. There are many young players and also many experienced players, it is important that we all go in the same direction.”
