Fikayo Tomori, the AC Milan star defender, has sat down with those at Sport Mediaset and granted them an interesting interview. Here are all his words.
On the season objectives:
"At the beginning of the season, we wanted to advance in the Champions League group stage. Now, we'll face the Europa League with the belief that we can perform well. At Newcastle, we talked at halftime, telling ourselves that we had to give our all, and there was nothing more to lose. In the second half, we put in a good performance, and now we have to bring that spirit into the league as well."
On the injuries issue:
"In football, injuries happen; it's part of the game. Thank God I'm doing well, and I hope not to have any injuries until the end of the season."
Tomori, the next game is against AC Monza...
"We're working on staying focused and concentrated for the entire match. Lately, we've dropped some points, and now we need to focus more on ourselves rather than looking at the standings."

"Three points on Sunday (vs Monza)."
On Ibrahimovic's return, Tomori commented:
"He has a winning mentality, always wants to win, whether on the field or when he's injured. I expect it will be the same this time too; it's a mentality that aligns well with Milan. I'm glad he'll be back with us."
On his relationship with Milan:
"When I arrived here, I hadn't played for almost a year. They immediately gave me a lot of advice to improve; I feel valued, and that makes a difference for me. I feel like a Milanista."
