00:14I never thought this could be my last game for Milan.
00:19Even I have a lot of will and eagerness to come back to play this season.
00:25I didn't feel comfortable. I came back with the mask and everything,
00:31but I didn't feel comfortable on the pitch.
00:34But I never thought this will be my last game for Milan,
00:40because deep inside I wanted to continue,
00:45but I needed to also fill other boxes.
00:49This is why I need to continue and in the end I'm here and I'm happy to be back.
01:00I'm happy to be here and I'm happy to be here and in the end.
01:19I am happy to be here and I'll see you in the next video.

01:28I have my first time I'm lucky to be here.
01:29in one word was frustration frustration because we until up the end of the season we were having
01:39great season we were playing well having great results until march or we were still in there in
01:47the fighting for the for the title also for me on another part i was frustrated that i couldn't
01:56help the team in the way that i was doing all season after my injury and yeah this was like
02:06not the best moment despite you know that we didn't reach the goal but you stay with
02:15another things you know which is
02:18uh atmosphere around the club around the dressing room the the way we we behave the way we were
02:28together all team you connect with the players and you feel uh uh great uh respect from from from
02:39everyone on the end of the day the most important is uh is result and we didn't reach our goal
02:47even it
02:47was a lot of positives you you stay with this negativity that happens first few days you were
02:54you were thinking how this happened after a great year that we were having but i couldn't think much
