Alexis Saelemaekers, AC Milan Belgian right-winger, has granted an interview to those at TLN. He entrusted them with the following statements regarding the team, coach and the decisive game against Sassuolo:
"Pioli? I think the coach has a lot of determination, he puts his heart into it, like me on the pitch. Our relationship is very close: he understands me and gives me much confidence. He made me grow immediately, he talked to me a lot and made me become the player I am now. I arrived here on tiptoe. It wasn't easy, but I did my job, I grew slowly and listened to the coach. What I did today can be seen. I hope to grow a lot in this team and this club."
On the team spirit:
"We are a united group, everyone talks together. Since I play, I have never seen a group so united. Our strength is what helps every week on the pitch. This is a young group. The veterans are important to us, they are examples. Their careers are full of achievements and trophies, and we all dream of doing like them. They also help us in the mental point: when we are in difficult moments we can talk to them, they are always at our side to help us and they are great champions. happy to have them with us and not against."
Saelemaekers on his teammate Sandro Tonali:
"Sandro also had to get used to the team's system. He is showing his qualities, he grows every game and helps the team a lot. He has become important for us."
On the match against Sassuolo:
"There is pressure. But, it is positive. The first leg was not an easy match, but now it is to be forgotten. We are a stronger group than 5 months ago, now we put our heart and soul into it and we can do it. If they had told me, 10 years ago, that I could win a Scudetto with Milan, I would never have believed it."
Saelemaekers concluded:
"I also spoke to Zlatan and he told me that each trophy he won was something extraordinary. I hope to win with Milan."
