TEAM FITNESS
“At Milanello we laid the foundations for the rest of our physical preparation. Here in the US we’re going to train at higher intensities”.
OUR NEXT CHALLENGE
“As a player it was easier to prepare for a match. Playing against glorious teams such as Manchester United should be a source of pride for us. Mourinho is a winner, he always tries to get the most out of his players, by coaching their souls”.
IBRAHIMOVIC
“We’re going to train for three days in the training centre of Los Angeles Galaxy, where Zlatan plays. He has great personality and always wants to win. Having such a player in your team is fundamental to achieve great results”.
CLUB
“I haven’t met the new owners yet. We have been working hard over the past two weeks, our duty is to always give our best. I can only thank all those who are part of the AC Milan world. Mirabelli? I’m here because he and Marco Fassone believed in me”.
BONUCCI
“I spoke with Leo and as long as he is part of this team I’ll be happy to see a player with his attitude. His future should be discussed together with the management, it’s the right thing to do in these situations”.
NEW PLAYERS
“Both the old and the new management know well what players we need, in order to improve our squad. It’s important to find functional players, fitting in our system”.
Fabio Borini: “Playing in the ICC we’re going to face teams as great as AC Milan and this is the best way to test our strength. We must think only about working hard, all these talkings involving the new management are non of our business. My goal for next season is to do better: play more and score more. To achieve this result it’s important for me to play in my favourite position: I’m a striker even if I’m able to play in different roles”.
