AC Milan's 23-year-old French defender, Pierre Kalulu, has not been always available for Stefano Pioli this season due to injuries. Aldo, his brother (who is 28 years old), also a professional footballer and striker for Partizan, spoke to MilanNews exclusively. Here's what he said:
When Pierre was called by Milan, did you expect it?
"There were many clubs interested in Pierre before he moved to Milan. Thinking back to the discussion he had with the club, particularly with Paolo Maldini, we were really proud that he chose Milan."
This year has been a very unlucky season for Pierre, full of injuries. What do you feel like saying to him? Kalulu's borther, Aldo, said:
"I've been through it myself... In a career, it can happen, but the most important thing is how you react... I've talked to him and Gedeon, we'll sort things out and prepare him for the next season, which will be different."
How is he and when can he return to the field?
"He'll be back before the end of the season. That's all I can say."
Do you see him staying long at Milan?
"The fans love Pierre and it's mutual. Believe me, Milan is in his heart."
