00:00We are really excited and cannot wait for the little one to come.

00:04Of course we feel a bit nervous too, but I think it's normal because our life is going to change.

00:10We both have always dreamed of having a family one day and now that dream is becoming true.

00:16I think becoming a mother is something that's difficult to truly understand before it happens.

00:24It's something bigger than football.

00:26The whole team, they have been really, really happy for me when I told them that we are going to get a kid.

00:34Our baby is lucky to have the team around her.

00:48Of course I'm happy to score and start the season with the win.

00:53I'm really proud of our team. First of all that we managed to get the three points, but also because of the way how we got the points.

01:01We didn't have a good game. Genoa scored the first goal, but we didn't give up and we believed until the end that we can win.

01:11At first I was thinking that I must have been offside because I was so alone.

01:15So I didn't believe that I actually scored until the ball was back in the middle.

01:21I was also really happy to see how much that win meant to everyone and how happy everyone was for me that I scored the winning goal.

01:28I hope that our baby can see that mentality that we have in our team one day and come and experience the team spirit that we have.

01:36I have been really lucky to experience different leagues and countries during my career.

01:46I think there is always something positive and things that you can learn and take with you when you move on.

01:51And on the other hand, things that you can forget about.

01:55But I think I have learned a lot about myself during my time here in Italy.

01:59I have for sure got more patient. I have been living more in the moment.

02:04Also, I love how relaxed and social Italians are and how they enjoy life every day.

02:10That's something that I hope our baby is going to learn also.

02:14On the pitch, I think I have learned to expect the unexpected.

02:19I think players are more unpredictable here, which make it more difficult, especially for a defender.

02:25We have had some good games against Roma during my time here at Milan.

02:29But I think the past doesn't affect the future, so it doesn't matter how we have done in the past against them.

02:36It's a new season. They have had some changes.

02:39We just have to work hard, play as a team and be consistent throughout the game.

02:44And if we do that, I think we have a good chance on Sunday.

02:47It ends on Sunday.

02:48Anyway, our guests will be working on Sunday.
