How did you feel about scoring your debut goal for AC Milan?

“This is a unique feeling for me. I probably never would have dreamed of making my debut for AC Milan and scoring. I’m happy, but now let’s focus on Friday.”

If I tell you: ‘I love Cissè’ [like Amorim did], what do you say?

“I’m just happy… But I didn’t listen to the conference, my friends told me (laughs).”

How much did you believe even when you were injured?

“I really believed. At first, I was out for a while, always watching every training session to get to know the coach. So when I came back, it was much easier.”
