Adrien Rabiot, Milan midfielder, spoke to the media and the other media present at the end of the event with the Frenchman at the AC Milan flagship store in Via Dante, 12 in Milan.
Do you feel the Rossoneri enthusiasm towards you?
"I hope it will be a great season, I am happy because everyone welcomed me well, from teammates to staff and the fans. I played right away, I am doing well, so everything is positive," he told Milan News.
Is Milan - Napoli already a Scudetto match?
"Scudetto no, it is only the beginning, the league is long. It is a match to show and to see where we are as a team. But it will not say whether we will win the league or not."
Has Massimiliano Allegri changed compared to Juventus?
"He is a strong coach and there are quality players, we are also solid. We must continue to work, but I am seeing a Milan with quality, with many young players who want to work and experienced players who can support them. We are creating a good group."
Does Milan have the most quality midfield in Italy?
"Surely it is of a very high level. Then there are teams like Inter, Juventus and Napoli that have quality, but we will focus on ourselves without looking at the other teams. Then later we will see where we are, for now I am happy with what I am seeing."
Is it a coincidence that since you arrived at Milan not even one goal has been conceded?
"We cannot say it is thanks to me… I know the coach and the staff well, I know their mentality, I think the players are learning it and you can see it on the pitch. I have inside me this desire to want to win and not concede goals, but obviously I am not alone. It is only the beginning, we stay calm and keep working."
Why did you not arrive earlier?
"It is football and life, but now I am here and I am happy, I think you can see it on the pitch. I hope to give my best for the team and to make the fans happy. I hope to do well and to do well as a team."
Do you feel something big is being born? Rabiot answered:
"Yes because the coach is good at doing this, at creating a group and involving everyone. This is an important part of building a team that wants to win. On this I am positively surprised, the team has changed quite a lot but we are doing very well. There are young players with the right mentality, I hope it is the beginning of something big."
After Napoli there will be Juventus...
"I spent 5 years at Juventus, I have good memories. It will not be a match like the others, but now I am a Milan player and I will try to give my best to win of course. Beyond that, I wish Juventus the best because there are very good people there who helped me when I was there. But I will try to win every match, even against Juventus, I am focused and very happy to be here at Milan."
