On the debut: “It was nice to make my debut at San Siro. I think it’s the dream of all young people who start practicing this sport. Before the Milan corner I got emotional, I dreamed of it but I didn’t expect it. Abate’s help certainly had a great impact. Having made his first team debut, having achieved this little dream, is certainly thanks to him too for the advice and for everything he gives us every day.”

About the season: “Having reached the semi-finals two years in a row, being in the top 4 in Europe, was a huge goal. Now we want to do better than last year, also in the Primavera championship where we are fighting for the playoffs. I think it’s a very positive season, we try to give our best until the end.”
