AC Milan's American midfielder, Yunus Musah, has granted an interview to SportMediaset in which he talked about different topics, starting with the atmosphere at Milanello.
Here are his words:
"We have a lot of confidence in the group. We know what we are capable of and we never give up. Sometimes things don't go as planned, but the important thing is to always believe and stay united. That's what we're doing."
Yunus Musah added:
"Tactical versatility? Playing in multiple positions has always been a characteristic of mine, based on my abilities. I try to do it in the best possible way: if the coach asks me, I try to do my best and help the team. Preferred position? I think I perform better in midfield as a box-to-box midfielder, when I can make runs on the right. I really like that role."
On scoring his first goal:
"I want to score my first goal in the red and black colours as soon as possible, but the most important thing will be to win on Saturday (against Fiorentina).
On his brother, a Milan fan, Yunus Musah:
"He's very happy for me being here at Milan. He judges me as always, wants me to improve, and wants the best for me."
On the match against Borussia Dortmund, a day before his birthday:
"I expect a win against Dortmund."
On his multilingualism:
"I think more in English, as I spent my adolescence in London and have many friends there. Besides, English is a global language. If I do remember words in Veneto dialect? No, I was too young (laughs)."
On his relationship with Christian Pulisic:
"It's beautiful to play with him here. Seeing his qualities on display, even at Milan."
On the evolution of soccer in the USA and Milan's appeal in America, Yunus Musah said:
"For them, it's a huge thing that both Christian (Pulisic) and I are here at Milan, a very big team. This greatly helps the growth of football in America: it gives confidence to the kids growing up there, knowing they can make it."
Today is Thanksgiving Day...:
"Milan surprised us and cooked turkey, a traditional dish for Thanksgiving."
On being compared to Franck Kessie:
"For me, it's nice to be called the 'new Kessie' also because he was a very good player for Milan, so it's a positive thing. But I try to play my own game and then help Milan, as he did in the past", said Yunus Musah.
Is Milan a life-changing opportunity?
"A great step for me, taking this path and arriving at Milan. I've always dreamed of playing for one of the best teams in the world, and Milan, having won many Champions League titles, is one. For me, this step is very important, I wanted to take it, and I'm happy I did. I want to try my best to help this team."
