Davide Calabria, young Italian full-back of the Rossoneri appeared on a YouTube channel called "Cronache di spogliatoio" where he talked about the rebirth of AC Milan. Here are his words:
"I grew up at Milan, so the dream was to get there. It was my goal, it was something beautiful. It was my dream since I was a child to play for Milan."
On school:
"I didn't like going to school in the Milan tracksuit because I wasn't interested in being seen. The first years were tough in Milan, staying away from home wasn't easy, but my parents convinced me to hold on."
On Paolo Maldini:
"He is the captain of the AC Milan captains, he is the man who best represents Milan. He is not one of many words, but he always spurs you on and his presence alone makes you believe in the project. helped the rebirth of Milan."
On post lockdown form:
"Both in me and in the team something has changed. The work has always been the same, but we understood that we had to show everyone our qualities. Perhaps what happened has united us even more. C ' it was an important turning point and this has brought positive results."
On the mental coach:
"In the youth sector he was at our disposal. For me he can be useful, in Italy there are too many predictions about these things. For me it is something that can be useful, in other realities it already exists. Training the mind is important. , perhaps the most important thing. You can train up to 15 hours a day, but if you go out on the pitch and your legs are shaking, that's not good. Seeing this as a weakness is bullshit."
On Alexis Saelemaekers:
"He is a guy who applies himself and who always gives 100%. We got along well right away, both on and off the pitch. In modern football, rhythm is fundamental, so having a player as he is important."
On the meeting with the fans:
"We are all quite available, it is an aspect that is also part of our work, but at times it is a bit stressful. The important thing for me is education and the way in which they ask you. what's this."
On friends:
"I have many friends in the world of football, but I have also remained very close to my childhood friends. We are a very large group of friends, we always feel and see each other when I get home. We still go on holiday together, it's always nice to be with them."
On the passion for wine:
"Tatarusanu and Kjaer are passionate like me, even Antonio Donnarumma. I would like to meet Lebron James because I see him opening incredible bottles of wine."
On teammates:
"Theo is a sparkling wine on the pitch, while off the pitch I would say Kessie who is one who always makes you laugh. Ibra is a Barolo: the older he gets, the better he is; these levels are incredible. I compare myself to a Brunello di Montalcino, a wine that represents the Italian tradition and therefore I could tell you Gigio and I that we are Italian and we grew up in Milan. Calhanoglu is an Amarone, Hakan is a complete player who gives you a hand in attack and defense, it is very balanced like Amarone."
On the rebirth of Milan:
"We have grown together in recent years. It has been a long and difficult journey, the last few years have been difficult for everyone. For us, players it has not been easy, a solid company."
