AC Milan new signing midfielder's first words as Rossonero in his press conference.
It is a new week for the Rossoneri, a week that starts with an important date: Luka Modrić gave his presentation pressure on Casa Milan.
Connection with AC Milan
“I grew up watching Italian football and my favorite Italian team has always been Milan. My idol in that team was Zvonimir Boban. I have always had a special bond with AC Milan.”
Objectives
“I have positive feelings about the coming season. Last year AC Milan produced a performance at the highest level at the Bernabéu, and we have to find a way to return to that level and maintain it as long as possible. AC Milan is one of the best teams in the world. – That is what I want to bring for this team.
What he will bring to AC Milan
“I feel happy that I am here and want to contribute to my passion, humility, work ethics and well -founded nature. I will bring my experience to AC Milan and give everything I have always done my entire career. There are great expectations of me, but I am ready for them and I can't wait to start with this challenge.”
The group
“I have seen many positive aspects in the friendly matches for the season. There are so many champions, and I can't wait to train with them. I have seen a strong team and a fantastic atmosphere within the group, which is very important. One player cannot only decide a match: you have to build a team where individuals can perform at their best.”
Massimiliano Allegri
“The coach probably doesn't have good memories of me or the Champions League final where I defeated him, but that is in the past. Now I am looking forward to getting to know him, and I am happy that I am being coached by one of the best coaches in the world. He is a real winner.”
ROLE
“I think everyone knows that I prefer to play in midfield, dictate the pace and keep an eye on the team. I still have to talk to the coach to understand where he wants to play me, and from there I just have to work hard and give everything. I think I can take on different midfield tasks because, for me, the most important thing is the team, and I do what the coach asks.” “
Easy decision
“It was an easy choice: director Tare called me and then came to Croatia and showed how much he wanted me at AC Milan.”
Ancelotti's advice
“Carlo spoke very high about AC Milan. I have a positive impression, regardless of what others say. You can feel that this is a great club.”
