00:05Question from Campo.

00:06Have you ever received a red and black jersey

00:08as a gift when you were a kid?

00:10My father, when he played,

00:12once brought me the jersey of Riccardo Kaká.

00:14♪♪

00:18Question from Extracampo. Let's go.

00:20Seeing your dad, did you imagine

00:22you could do the same path or not?

00:25Well, let's say I grew up with the ball, right?

00:28My goal has always been to play football.

00:30It's a day to be able to play professionally.

00:33♪♪

00:43So, Ricci, a special interview.

00:45Let's play football.

00:46I'll score.

00:47Extra Campo questions.

00:48You score.

00:49Campo questions.

00:50Let's go.

00:51How do you feel?

00:52Normal.

00:53Very normal.

00:55Let's play.

00:56♪♪

01:02Second goal.

01:04♪♪

01:07Question from Campo.

01:08Have you ever received a red and black jersey

01:10as a gift when you were a kid?

01:12If so, tell us a little bit.

01:14Yes, yes, yes.

01:15As a young Milanese,

01:17my parents, when we went to the shops,

01:21they sold sports items or t-shirts.

01:23They bought it for me.

01:24And when my father played,

01:26he once brought me Riccardo Cacca's jersey.

01:29Do you still have it?

01:30I still have it.

01:31By the way, it was also signed.

01:33He had it signed for me and I have it at home.

01:36You've never met him?

01:37Well preserved.

01:38I've never met him.

01:39I've never had the pleasure or the luck to meet him.

01:41We'll see if it happens here in Milan.

01:43And let's hope I get it.

01:46♪♪

01:51Question from Campo.

01:52Let's go.

01:53Is there a crucifix or a star in your bio?

01:55Crucifix because I'm a religious guy.

01:58My whole family is religious and Christian,

02:01especially my grandparents.

02:03They are very religious, especially my grandmother.

02:05And that's why I put those emojis on my profile.

02:10And the star is a symbol that I like,

02:13a luminous symbol.

02:14So I combined it with the crucifix.

02:17But seeing your dad, who was already a great footballer,

02:20did you imagine you could go down the same path?

02:24Well, let's say that when I was little,

02:26with my father, I grew up with the ball.

02:30So when he went to training,

02:32I wanted him to take me with him.

02:34I wanted to be in the locker room with the big guys.

02:37So it's something that I think you have inside.

02:41It's a passion that you have since birth.

02:43So my goal has always been to play football.

02:48It's a day to be able to play football professionally.

02:52Do you have a particular idol that you've always followed?

02:55When I was little, when I started watching games,

03:01watching videos on YouTube,

03:03I always liked Cristiano Ronaldo very much.

03:05Because when he played for Manchester,

03:08I liked that role.

03:10It drove me crazy.

03:12He made incredible plays.

03:14He scored, he assisted.

03:16And then, despite his young age,

03:19he won the Ballon d'Or right away.

03:21He left an impression on me.

03:23He's a great athlete, a great professional,

03:26even off the pitch.

03:27He's a symbol, an example for football.

03:30So I grew up with him, with Cristiano Ronaldo.

03:39Vamos!

03:40So, how was the impact with the coach?

03:43Now that you've done some training with Milan.

03:46Very positive.

03:47He made a great impression on me,

03:49even though I've only been here a few days.

03:51He's very direct, he knows what he wants.

03:54As a player, I really appreciate that.

03:57You know how to do a bit of everything on the pitch.

03:59What is your strength and what would you like to improve?

04:04My strength is one-on-one and acceleration.

04:09I'd like to improve my head shot.

04:13I'd like to improve my weak foot even more.

04:16Go!

04:24What kind of guy are you off the pitch?

04:26Your hobbies, music, films, songs?

04:28I have a great passion for music.

04:30During my day, I listen to music a lot.

04:36I'm a very quiet guy.

04:37I like to spend time with my family and friends.

04:40In my free time, I use it to enjoy these moments.

04:46When I'm at home, I spend time with my family and friends.

04:50We go out, talk, laugh.

04:53These are simple things, but they're fundamental for me.

04:57They help me get off the pitch when I go home.

05:00Your family and friends?

05:02Your first return, your first game, your first trip?

05:05You're in Empoli, but you're in Florence.

05:07Did you come to see a friend?

05:09I came to the stadium and I had some friends nearby.

05:14But now that I'm in Milan, my family is in Turin, so it's very close.

05:20I've already heard about them and I can't wait to come to San Siro

05:24to see them wearing the Red and Black jersey.

05:26Go!

05:31FEDERICO GUIDI

05:39Among the people who contributed to your growth is Federico Guidi.

05:43Yes.

05:44How much do you think he contributed to your growth?

05:47He's a great memory because he gave me a hand in my debut in Florence,

05:53when I was 16 or 17.

05:55At 17, I started playing in the first division, already underage.

05:58He gave me a great hand in setting me up and he was an important figure

06:03because from the first training sessions and the first few days,

06:09he really believed in my qualities.

06:12This gave me even more motivation to give my best on the pitch,

06:17even though I had just arrived in Florence.

06:19I had a fantastic year with him,

06:22including a final with the Primavera.

06:26We lost the Scudetto, but it's a great memory of Guidi.

06:31Thank you, Riccardo.

06:32Good luck for this new adventure in Rostone.
