AC Milan midfielder, Aster Vranckx, spoke to Nieuwsblad about his arrival to the Rossoneri and the invitation to for the Belgium Under 21 team. Here are his words:
"Things did not go as expected in Wolfsburg. If the old coach had stayed? I can't really answer, I don't know. In football, things can change quickly. The new coach told me that at the moment he saw better other players and that they would have priority. He also said that he considered me a good player and all these things, but that he could not give me the minutes of play that I wanted."
On his transfer to AC Milan:
"I had to look for a solution and I liked the Milan project a lot. They work a lot with the young players and they immediately showed me that they really want to give me opportunities. Although obviously I have to work a lot, that's how it works in a great club. It's part of the job."
On the call-up to the next European Championships:
"When I make a decision, I always support it 100%. If it arrives, it arrives. If it does not arrive, I will be very sorry. But I will not regret having gone to Milan, that's for sure."
On having other Belgian players in AC Milan:
"I hang out with Charles a lot, he also gave me some advice. I'm very happy for these guys and my time will come."
Vranckx on the Belgian national team:
"I want to become a 'Red Devil' as soon as possible. But, I don't tell myself immediately: within two years I have to be there."
On the Under 21 team:
"I am always one of the leaders of the group anyway, now that I have been given the captain's armband I have to prove it even more. Not that I'm the kind of person who wants to set the rules off the pitch. In the youth teams, at times, I was captain, but usually I played with a bigger team and the captain was someone bigger than me."
