Matteo Gabbia virtually met his boys from the “Marco Pantani” sports high school in Busto Arsizio, the high school that the AC Milan defender attended. The Rossoneri player also spoke of his latest knee injury:
"I started crying when I got injured because I thought I had broken the cruciate ligament of my knee. At that moment I was very agitated and worried, also because I was very bad . Then, luckily, things worked out for the best and after two months I'm finally ready to take the field again."
On Ibrahimovic being an example:
"He always arrives an hour and a half before the training and leaves an hour and a half after we're finished. If he does it at 39 years, after all his palmares he has achieved, why can't I do it at 20? In this sense Zlatan is an example. He always gives his best to get the best. He makes us understand that behind every success there is always hard work."
On his debut in Serie A:
"It all happened so quickly that I didn't have the chance to think. I wore the shirt and entered the field to do my job. I realized at the end of the game, when the adrenaline went down that I had realized my dream."
On his experience playing for AC Milan so far:
"There has never been an age to realise that I can become a professional footballer. I have always put a lot of passion and perseverance into it. Even now that I have reached high levels and have taken away some of the dreams I had as a child, I think it is still important and fundamental to maintain this point of view, in my work as in life."
