AC Milan's Romanian goalkeeper, Ciprian Tatarusanu, spoke to Milan TV in Dubai. Here are his words:
"Obviously, the first sensation is that it's much hotter here than in Milan, but we'll try to quickly adapt to the temperature and the time difference. Having had 20 days it went well, we rested, but now we have started again, we are giving our best to be ready for the first game."
Tatarusanu added:
"The World Cup? It is very unusual. It's the first time that a World Cup is played in winter. We have some team-mates who are still playing, we wish them all the best of luck in going as far forward as possible."
Do the players here talk to their teammates who are still in the World Cup?
"We talk about our group from time to time. Any message for the French? Not yet, because they played when we were leaving, we let them celebrate the victory while we rested. Today or tomorrow for sure we will make compliments."
Does the weather temperature changes the way you train? Tatarusanu said:
"No, it does not change. Obviously, the climate, the grass and the pitch change here, but we try to adapt as quickly as possible."
On the matches with Arsenal and Liverpool:
"They are strong teams, they will be a good test for us, we hope to play some good games."
