Richie: The humility of The Magic Flute is worth studying. Leo himself doesn’t know how good he is.
6686 Sports November 12th Samuele Ricci has performed well in AC Milan this season. In recent weeks, he has started a series of games in place of the injured Rabiot. Due to his excellent performance and stable playing time, Ricci successfully returned to the Italian national team roster. Before the game against Moldova, he accepted an interview with RaiSport and talked about his feelings about returning to the national team and his colleagues at AC Milan.
Talk about returning to the national team
Ricci: I had a stable playing time when I played for Turin, which allowed me to be selected for the Italian national team. After coming to AC Milan, a club with more fierce competition, my playing time also decreased accordingly. Fortunately, in the last few games, I have gained playing time and regained the trust of the national team, which is very important for me.
Talk about Allegri
Ricci: Milan has just had a difficult season, but now I think we are in very good competitive shape. We've had some tough moments and dropped some points, but the coach's ability is evident. Allegri and I know each other very well and even have a similar sense of humor. It goes without saying that he is a great coach and he is working hard to bring something positive to Milan.
Talk about Modric
Ricci: He is the best player I have encountered in my career. In addition to his skills, I was impressed by his humility and his willingness to help others. I think it is not easy to be able to do this at the age of 40, and these are the qualities we should learn from him.
On Leo
Rich: He doesn’t even know how good he is. I really like him, he is always willing to help his teammates. Maybe he was lacking in this area in the past, but now I think he is 100% focused on Milan.
Talk about your role on the playing field
Richie: Is my role a playmaker or an attacking midfielder? Good question, I think I can do both roles well. Nowadays, many teams use both organizational and forward midfielders, and I can play both roles.
