AC Milan CEO Ivan Gazidis spoke during a show of the Rossoneri club Twitch channel this way:
"I'm fine, it's nice to be back in Milan; I really feel at home here. This type of recovery takes some time, but I continue to work, together with my colleagues, from home to push Milan forward. However, it won't be long before my return. I'm like Ibra: impatient. But I have to wait for the doctors, even if I don't want to. Soon I'll be back to Milanello, Vismara, Casa Milan and certainly San Siro."
On the team's performance against Porto last night:
"The team is always growing, constantly improving. And what gives me pride is the unity, the spirit and the desire of our boys; they are bravely playing with their own style: offensive, modern, always reacting to difficulties."
On the Derby:
"I'll watch the Derby on TV, unfortunately. My son is here with 10 friends from the USA for the match. I'm sorry I can't be at San Siro. These are the moments we play for. I have a request for the fans: I would like to ask the fans of keep me a seat in the Curva with you, it is because I want to cheer for the club even when I am not there."
On the club's affection:
"Thanks to everyone, I would like to say it to everyone. I have no words. I do not speak as a manager, but with the heart, I am excited. I will never forget this. Now I understand what the Milan family means: it is a special club in the world, in football, but above all in the heart. It has also been seen in the past. Players have always had a special feeling for this club, despite having played for other teams in their careers. My ambition is simply to be one of you at the Curva, to be a Milan fan."
Gazidis On the club management on a corporate level:
"It's a team effort, there are many people who work there. When I arrived at Milan I said that my goal is to have a club at the top of Italian and European football, playing with a fun and progressive style, with financial stability and with the new most beautiful stadium in the world. Three years ago there were many things to do. We are not finished yet, but today we can all see that we are on the right path. Day after day, step by step we are closer to our destination. This must be understood in order to have a great club. Together, everything is possible."
When will you go to the San Siro again?
"I'm optimistic", said Gazidis, "But, I am a little angry with the doctors. However, I will see you there again soon."
