AC Milan's newest signing, Divock Origi, spoke to the microphones of DAZN and highlighted how he is feeling now and what his plans are with the Rossoneri now during the pre-season:
"I'm doing my best to get back as soon as possible, working hard day after day with the aim of being ready for the first championship. I am preparing myself physically, psychologically and spiritually. At 27, I am in the prime of my career. and I think I have gained the right experience. I have lived through many experiences, I have won a lot and I am grateful for this opportunity. I am hungry and I have the desire to grow and improve and I want to maximize my potential. I feel like I have arrived in a club that is very hungry, very ambitious and who want to win like me. We want to show everyone I have good feelings and want to start the new season. Here, there are all the prerequisites to create something beautiful. I can't wait to live these experiences with the team, the fans and the staff", said Origi, as relayed by MilanPress.it
On the goal of winning the second star with Milan:
"Winning the second star is the goal: It is one of the first things that Maldini and Massara told me. They explained to me the importance of all this. We will do what we can to make it happen. To win a championship you have to have different players and we have a very strong group. This is one of the reasons why I really wanted to come here. Giroud is a fantastic, unique, high-class player. Zlatan is one of the greatest players in history, I'm happy to be here with them. He is an example that with the right mentality and constancy you can go on indefinitely, he will be remembered for many generations, they are players who make my job easier. My idols? I don't have one in particular, I grew up seeing videos of great players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Pele, Maradona, Weah."
Origi added:
"You must learn to focus only on yourself without letting yourself be influenced by the voices from the outside, you must try to maintain high standards and have a clear vision for the next five or 10 years in order to grow continuously."
On Romelu Lukaku:
"Lukaku and I have known each other since we were in the youth teams, we have challenged each other many times and it will be a pleasure to compare myself with players of this level."
