AC Milan defender, Simon Kjaer, is undoubtedly one of the key players of Stefano Pioli. The former AS Roma and Lille player brought leadership and experience that helped the youngsters at Milanello to improve.
The 32-year-old experienced player spoke to Danish outlet BT and said the following:
"There is nowhere I would rather be. My role in the team, with the manager and in the club, the trust I receive and the way we play, it suits me perfectly. It's a bit the same role I have in the national team."
"For many years, I tried to see if it were possible to reach AC Milan. There are many things that make Milan the dream club. I live in Milan, where my children and my wife are happy. No team in the world could have called me and attracted me there if there had also been an offer from Milan. Not that it matters who else called me."
Kjaer then added:
"The renewal of the contract gives me a new status, I appreciate it. For me it is a pat on the back, also because Milan has the policy of not extending more than one year at a time. But I signed on a 2-year-deal, on the other hand. This is the greatest sign the club could give me. I would not change my career, or maybe I would, if I had been able to play for Milan for 15 years, then I would have."
"I ended up in Milan after all the places I've been and the experiences I've had on and off the pitch. If I will retire in Italy? Yes I could, at Milan."
