Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, former AC Milan striker who is currently at Chelsea, spoke to The Sun about his past experience at Milan, a team which he will face in the Champions League. Here are his words:
"At that time, the team was really strong, to tell the truth. Ronaldo, (Paolo) Maldini, (Alessandro) Nesta... I was very young. That is why I chose to go on loan for a few years. I was just trying to improve and looking at Ronaldo to learn as much as I could."
Aubameyang continued to talk about Ronaldo:
"To tell the truth, he was a bit fat by then! But he was still the best. I will always remember when Carlo Ancelotti had a go at him about his fitness, he said, ‘What do you want me to do, run or score goals?’ Ancelotti said, ‘score goals’, and the next game, Ronaldo scored twice! It is a part of the character and as a striker, you need that because you have to be strong mentally. I was just a young kid among all those stars, just playing and training. I was just trying to get as much as I can and pick up all these things in my career."
