At the "Primavera Football Awards" by Sportitalia, where he was awarded as the best defender of the Primavera 1 championship, Jan-Carlo Simic talked about his excellent season with Milan and the goals he intends to achieve with his teammates in this intense season finale, where Ignazio Abate's team will be involved in the Scudetto playoffs.
Here's what he said about the thrilling 3-3 draw against Torino that allowed Ignazio Abate's Milan to secure a place in the Scudetto playoffs:
"It was a crazy match, but in the end, a draw was enough to reach the playoffs, which was one of our goals."
On Milan's season:
"It has been a year of growth for all of us. I think losing the Youth League final made us an even more united team. Now there are the playoffs, and we want to give our all to go all the way."
On his debut in Serie A with Milan:
"It was a beautiful day; I will never forget it. Each of us dreams of scoring on our debut. The roar of San Siro after my goal will always stay in my heart."
How far can this Milan go?
"We are a very united, humble group. We work very hard every day, we have a great relationship with the entire staff, with the coach, among ourselves we are friends off the field, and I can't say where we will end up, but I can say that we will give our utmost to go as far as possible."
What did coach Ignazio Abate say or ask you at the final whistle of the game against Torino? Simic said:
"He was very happy. We achieved a historic result for Milan; it had been many years since Milan reached the playoffs. Even in Europe, we were the first Italian team to play in a Youth League final, so we have already achieved a historic result this season, but we can do more."
On the future:
"I am a person who thinks day by day, match by match. My future now is the match against Lazio, where we want to give everything as a team to go all the way."
