AC Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali has granted an exclusive interview to Milan TV following his permanent transfer from Brescia to the Rossoneri. Here are his statements:
On the definitive transfer:
“Without will this transfer was really difficult, I am happy for me and Milan and for the people who made sure that everything went well. It ended for the best".
On his first year in Milan:
“I am satisfied, playing 37 games for Milan is like playing 100 in another team. It is a great thing. My growth will be this year, I'm satisfied but we aim to do better and better ”.
What did you miss?
“One thing about the things that I missed is consistency, as well as the whole team. It is the hardest thing in football. We started very strong, then we slowed down and then we went back to pushing hard. There is no more time to wait or to have some alibi for this season. We are and I am ready”.
On the Champions League:
“We will have to do more than what we have done so far. We will all have to be together and all row in one direction, this is the key thing. The Champions is always the Champions, everyone will give 150%. I grew up both on and off the pitch, it's an important thing in these moments of life and career. I am more mature in many ways. We are happy that the coach is with us, he knows us well, we love him and he is our captain”.
Who did you bond with the most?
“I forged a bond with Daniel Maldini and Colombo who are almost my age, but also with the other Italians in the squad. We are a very compact group. There is no closer friendship”.
On Kjaer:
“Simon is more captain off the pitch than on, he's our dad. He treats us like children”.
On Maldini:
“He always has an effect, you see him with a different eye. He is a legend, not just any person, you know he loves you and it is already a pleasure to meet him. I let you imagine seeing him every day and talking to him”.
On Italy:
“It is difficult to think about the future with one word, let's see how it will go. Let's see if I can deserve such a heavy shirt. I wish the Azzurri very good luck, they were fantastic. Forza Italia".
