MILAN, HALILOVIC: "I WANT TO SHOW ALL MY QUALITIES"
After his first training sessions as a Rossonero, for Alen Halilovic to speak his first words as an AC Milan player. Live on Milan TV, in fact, our midfielder attended his first press conference answering the questions of the media, from his first impression of the team to his ambitions: this is what Alen had to say.
FEELINGS
"I am really happy to be here at AC Milan. It's an honour to wear these colours. I know I am in one of the most important clubs in the world and I know this is a big step in my career: I want to show my qualities. I wish to thank Boateng and Aquilani, who have told me what it means to be an AC Milan player.
GATTUSO
"I spoke with him and I had a positive impression. My position? I already played as an inside midfielder in Spain and with [Croatia] Under-21. It would not be a problem. I think I can give my best in the centre or down the flank. I can still improve a lot as I am still young.
HIS PAST
"I arrived at Barcelona very young. It's tough when you are 19 and don't get much playing time. I am now 22 and played over ninety games in one of the most important leagues in the world: I think it's the right time to take a step forward.
TEAMMATES
"All the players are helping me, especially Simic who speaks Croatian. I want to learn Italian as soon as I can. Leo Bonucci? He's a great player and a really nice person.
NATIONAL TEAM
"I am only thinking about AC Milan right now, the national team will come as a consequence if I do well here.
THE FANS
"I really wish to thank them, it is an honour to be part of this team. Yesterday [the first day of pre-season, ed.] was a really special day for me".
