Live broadcast, August 25 -ac Milan today held a press conference for the newly joined Argentine defender Marco Pellegrino. He talked about his feelings on the first day in Milan and his early experiences.
At the beginning of the press conference, Pellegrino said, “Good Morning, everyone. When we start our football career, there are always many dreams in our mind. Everything is too fast for me. A few days ago, I was still playing in prastens. I played about 20 games there, which was already a dream for me. But now I have come here, so to speak, everything is great.”
Can you become a defender with scoring ability?
I am still young and in the initial stage. I have scored some goals in the Youth League and I hope I can score many goals in the future.
How was the training on the first day?
I have just arrived here and participated in some training programs. The team helped me a lot from the perspective of skills and tactics. I talked to Pioli. He is very excellent. He helped me a lot from both technical and tactical perspectives. This is very different from Argentina. I am adapting and improving myself day by day.
What do you think of Milan’s history and who is your idol?
We all know the history of Milan, which is one of the most important and strongest teams in the world. Working here is a great responsibility, but it is also an incomparable thing for me. As for my idol, I said before that my idol was Ramos. Considering the history of Milan, another one was maltini.
What position do you think you are in Milan and what do you think you can contribute to the team?
Here, I found a lot of new things, but this is very beautiful. I received the best welcome and saw the facilities and teams here…… This is incredible, all of which are of high quality. I am trying to make my own contribution in all aspects. I am a good player in scoring goals and speed. I am always ready to prepare myself for the team when the coach makes a choice.
What did you learn from tennis?
When I was a child, I took part in tennis and football, but when I was 14 years old, I gave up tennis. Tennis is a completely different sport, it is a personal event. You need to have strong personal qualities, go through many different moments, and then think about how to deal with them. This certainly helped me a lot.
Did Martin Palemo give you any specific advice?
Yes. I respect him very much. He gave me the chance to make the first show and always trusted me. I will never forget this. I talked with him and he also gave me some advice. He told me that I might encounter new things, which may be more complicated, because football is never easy. However, he also told me that everything would be fine. He told me to do my best, keep calm, keep learning, watch many competitions and participate in the training. With his suggestions, I will be able to make progress.
You are a central defender, but can you be qualified for other positions?
I am central defender, but I also played left-back, and I was also a member of the three-back under Palemo. But I still regard myself as the left wing.
Palemo compares you with Samuel, what do you think?
I heard what he said, which is an honor for me. Samuel is great. He is a historic figure in Argentina. I am similar to him in some aspects, but obviously not in other aspects. Obviously, I hope to follow his steps.
