The latest AC Milan signing Milos Kerkez was interviewed by Nemzeti Sport Online. These are his words:
On the Rossoneri's interest:
"It happened quickly. My father and my agent worked behind the scenes to get me the best possible opportunity."
On why he chose AC Milan:
"After the phone call with Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara, I became convinced that I'll be joining Milan. The choice did not take me a minute."
On Paolo Maldini:
"He is kind and honest. It was a great experience to meet such a person. As a kid, I watched several videos of him, and from my first experience I can say that he still has the same brightness he had on the pitch. We had much to talk about, he gave me a lot of advice. He is the best left-back in the world, so every word he says is important for me."
On what the future holds for him:
"I am aware of what my qualities are. I'll do my best in order to earn my place in the first team."
On the senior team:
"At the moment, I can't compete with the big stars. But, when I start training with them, I'm sure I'd raise my level and achieve many things. I do not feel any pressure at all. I have heard the talks about me being the deputy of Theo Hernandez in the long term. I do know that the club has its own plans for me, it is not a coincidence that I am here."
On his initial position in his career:
"I was a midfielder first. I was angry when I was moved to play in the defense. The coach at Eto Gyor at the time put me there and my performances were good. Then, I fell in love with this role."
Thoughts on Milanello:
"The environment is excellent and tidy here. The restaurant there is also great, I have no reason to complain."
On Ibrahimovic:
"I am yet to meet him, I can't wait."
On Maldini again:
"Paolo Maldini watched many videos about me. My mentality attracted him. When I take the field, I don't tolerate defeat. Just like Maldini himself, I do my best to win."
