AC Milan newest signing Sergino Dest, who came on loan with an option to buy from FC Barcelona, has granted his first interview as a Rossonero to the club's official channel. Here are his words:
"It all happened very quickly, in one day. I had to make a decision very quickly and change my life, team, country and culture. I love Milan, it's a club I always wanted to play for as a boy. I am happy and honored to start playing for this club, I will give my best. I am happy and honored to start playing for this club, I will give my best."
Dest continued:
"It is a high-level championship and we should face some excellent teams, but we have the Scudetto on our chest and we must keep it for next season as well."
He added:
"At Ajax I played as a winger, then also as a full-back. Lowering myself to full-back was a good idea that allowed me to show my qualities both in the defensive phase and in the attacking phase. I have good resistance and I cover the whole flank."
The former Ajax player added:
"Milan are back and they are doing well. I feel that they are returning to the levels of when I was a child and I was watching the games of this team. For me it is the right choice, the perfect time to arrive here with these players. We will do everything to get this club back where it deserves."
On choosing AC Milan and the stars who played there:
"I talked a bit with Kessie who played here and he only had positive things to say, which helped me. Many champions played here, but Ronaldinho was the best for me, a joy to see. I really like the Brazilians who have played for Milan in the past. That group included Kakà, Ronaldinho and the others. I was almost obsessed with them, I was always looking at them."
On wanting to play more:
"I also want to play in view of the World Cup of course, but not only for that. This is a great opportunity for me and I haven't thought twice about it. I accepted immediately and I want to play with the Scudetto on the shirt."
Dest concluded with a message to the fans:
"Hey, fans! I'm Sergino and I'm ready to give my best. I am happy and proud to be here in an important club that has won the Scudetto. We will see each other soon."
