Speaking to Sky Sport‘s microphones, the experienced Dane defender of the Rossoneri, Simon Kjaer, said the following words regarding the next game on Sunday against Juventus:
“Pioli always puts his soul and determination into it, he asks us the maximum because it would be a shame to throw everything away now, we have to grit our teeth and go fast. We want to go to the Champions League.”
On Juventus:
“Juve is always Juve, we have to attack them but remain compact according to our mentality. But we have to raise the level, there is great optimism and we know we can beat everyone.”
On Donnarumma:
“I love him, but the choice to renew is his. Whether Gigio is here or not next year, I expect the same performance on Sunday. It’s difficult for me to give him advice.”
On Ibrahimovic:
“He gave us a lot, but there are eleven of us. The team plays for him, but we all win and lose together. Then there is always someone who has the X Factor.”
On Ronaldo:
“It has always been a pleasure to play against him, since the first time 11 or 12 years ago. Now he is someone who has changed a lot as a player compared to before, but he has always been a champion. For his goals not there is no need to talk about it. He lives to score, he can play a game like this but if there is a loose ball you know he is there. He is a striker who is always inside the game, with the desire and determination to score goals , which is why it has been at the top for 10-15 years.”
On Eriksen:
“We talk often and go to dinner together, we have been friends for twelve years. I know the difficulties that can arise when playing for important clubs like Inter or AC Milan. I’m happy that he has reached the goal, even if maybe it would have been better to play with another team (laughs). He won and I respect him a lot.”
