Speaking to Milan TV in Dubai, Junior Messias had these words to say:
"I'm happy for Theo (Hernandez) and (Olivier) Giroud, especially after Brazil's exit. So now I'm a huge fan of France."
On last night's dinner with the team:
"It was a great pleasure, a beautiful place where we were together. It's always good to live these moments to keep the group close more and more."
Messias on returning to the field after a long rest:
"We're back after these 15 days of vacation, it's new. It hasn't happened in a long time. A World Cup has always been played in the summer. There's never this long break in November and December. But we all found ourselves quite well. Both physically and mentally. It gave us a little more recovery."
On the Dubai training camp:
"For me, it's the first time in Dubai. It's a place which impressed me a lot. A beautiful place, a perfect temperature to work, so we're comfortable here."
A look on his 2022 year:
"This has been a beautiful year for me, we won the championship and winning is always nice. Now we are working to win more and maybe extend these numbers."
What is your ambition for the 2023 year?
"We have to prepare ourselves well. In fact, in these days we have to do our best. Especially in January there will be important matches for the championship, we have to start again in the best possible way."
Messias on AC Milan chasing Napoli in the league:
"Now, given that Napoli are having a great championship, we can no longer make errors. If we make any errors, we run the risk of falling behind. We have to try to stay close to them and win as many matches as possible so we can collect as many points as possible."
