AC Milan's Filippo Terracciano, who joined the club a few days ago coming from Hellas Verona on a permanent transfer, has spoken to the media in a press conference. Here are his words:
"Before we start, I wanted to thank Verona, the city, the fans, teammates, and all the coaches I've had, especially Juric, whom I will be grateful to forever."
You already have 40 appearances in Serie A despite your young age (20):
"I'm gaining experience with each game."
What were your emotions?
"It changes a lot compared to Verona; Milan is a great club. The emotions in the first few days were many; I was welcomed very well by everyone. When I step onto the field, I forget everything and only think about what I have to do."
What is your preferred position? Terracciano replied:
"I've never attached importance to the position; I just have to do my best wherever the coach puts me. I don't think about it much."
Do you have any role models you look up to?
"Maldini and Nesta. I have always watched their videos."
Why did you choose Milan? Have you spoken to Zlatan Ibrahimovic?
"Because I saw in Milan the best environment for my growth. There are many great personalities here, like Ibra. I can grow a lot, even on a personal level. As for speaking with Ibra, not yet."
Have you spoken to coach Stefano Pioli?
"My dad played with the coach; I made a couple of remarks about it. I've always been with Verona; now let's see how to create my new future here day by day."
What can Stefano Pioli give you?
"He can give me a lot; I'm already learning a lot. Both in football and on a personal level, I will have significant growth."
What can this group give you? Terracciano said:
"It's a fantastic group. Training with champions like Leao, Theo, and Giroud will give me a lot. Now I have to get into the coach's plans as soon as possible, then I'll get to know my teammates better on the field."
How did you find playing on the left?
"I played on the left because the coach told me to. The role is not important; I try to give my best wherever I play."
Why did you choose the number 38? Terracciano answered:
"The number 24 was not available. I chose 38 because I have a great relationship with Udogie, and I also chose this number for him."
What environment have you found?
"Fantastic. I immediately had positive feelings, and I know that for any needs, I have people who can help me. It's also why I chose to come here to Milan."
