00:00What does it mean to you to be a fan of AC Milan?

00:02For me, AC Milan is a strong emotion,

00:05even though I don't hide the fact that I've been a fan of it since I was a kid.

00:11So, coming here to AC Milan and seeing so many photos,

00:17these colours that have accompanied me throughout my childhood and adolescence,

00:22has been something really special for me.

00:26It would be difficult to find the right words to describe what I'm feeling right now.

00:31It's a reason for great pride, the calling of a prestigious club worldwide like AC Milan,

00:40and so I'm also aware of the great responsibilities that I'm taking on.

00:46So, there's great happiness.

00:48Now it's really a whirlwind of emotions,

00:51but at the same time, there's a great desire to embark on this magnificent journey.

00:58For me, Roma has been an extremely informative experience,

01:03because it's a club that has given me so much over the past two years.

01:08I've had the chance to share my daily work with Mr. Mourinho first and then Mr. De Rossi.

01:15I've had the chance to win important trophies, such as the Coppa Italia and the Super Cup.

01:22It's a shame that we weren't able to end our journey with the win at the Scudetto,

01:29but the thing I like the most is that we were able to make so many debuts,

01:37bringing the lads to the starting line-up.

01:40That's why I think that for us, the young players,

01:44it's our mission and our greatest achievement.

01:50It was the strongest motivation that led me to accept AC Milan's offer,

01:57as well as the club's great reputation,

02:00because I've spent many years with Professor Vergine.

02:05I've shared with him the vision of the young players,

02:09the vision of how we want the young players to grow.

02:14I share with him all the values that we need to achieve the biggest goal,

02:21which is to try to project as many players as possible into football.

02:27It was a great motivation for me,

02:30because after all these years that we've spent together,

02:34we've established a relationship that goes beyond the professional aspect.

02:38For me, that's the biggest thing.

02:44I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Abate during my two years at Roma.

02:50I know how well he's done,

02:53because I've often congratulated him,

02:57because the team has shown great football,

03:00and that's certainly one of the reasons why he's given so much to the lads.

03:07I think I've seen them grow over the last two years.

03:10I share the club's philosophy,

03:13because I think that being able to anticipate as much as possible the player

03:19helps to speed up the process of entering adult football.

03:25I'll bring all the experience I've gained over the years,

03:32trying to give that extra something to achieve this type of goal,

03:37continuing on the path Mr Abate has taken.

03:41My way of working is to always try to study,

03:46to get as much knowledge as possible from those who are doing very well,

03:51in this case in the youth team.

03:53There were lots of players who had played abroad in the second team,

03:58and who were able to make their mark in the first teams of clubs with a very high European profile,

04:07and even in the major national teams.

04:11So for me it was an instrument that we also had to reach in Italy.

04:18I think that AC Milan, like Juventus and Atalanta,

04:22firmly believe in the Under-23 project.

04:25For me it's an instrument that allows us to have even more years to train the boy,

04:33and above all to shorten, never lose control,

04:37and then be able to project it into our first team,

04:41which, as I said before, is the result and the goal that we all set for ourselves.

04:45Clearly those who do this job in any sport always play to win.

04:53The problem is to be able to win by following the right path,

04:57without speculating about the result,

05:01but how you can try to achieve it.

05:05So through the improvement of each and every player,

05:08I have to try to win the game.

05:10So the biggest dream is to be able to project as many boys as possible,

05:14of the boys I will train,

05:16perhaps winning a few trophies here at AC Milan.

05:19So I would like to combine the emotions of the moment,

05:23which victory alone can give you,

05:26with the achievement of the ultimate goal,

05:29which is to see my player wear AC Milan's jersey at the San Siro.

05:33This would be the biggest dream.
