AC Milan playmaker Brahim Diaz has pledged to ‘give everything’ for the team after his fantastic display during the 4-2 win against Udinese this evening.
Milan made life difficult for themselves on Saturday night at San Siro as they trailed inside a few minutes due to Rodrigo Becao’s header from a corner, took a 2-1 lead and then conceded again just before the break after Adam Masina’s header.
Nonetheless, Brahim restored the advantage with a close range finish and Ante Rebic put the game beyond doubt not too long after to ensure the perfect start to a season in which the objective has to be a title defence.
Brahim Diaz spoke to DAZN at the end of the game to reflect on the win, the performance of the team and his display in particular, which was a welcome boost after some struggles towards the end of last season. His comments were transcribed by MilanNews, and have been translated below.
On new signings: “It’s always nice to have strong players. I’m happy that he helped us. We are a team, we do everything as a team.”
On the goal: “I give everything for this team and these fans. I am calm, I am aware of my qualities. It’s always nice to score at San Siro, but it’s even better to win the game.”
On the objectives: “We are a strong team, we won the Scudetto. This year we want to win, let’s continue match by match. Let’s see what we can do together.”
On the predictions and the other teams fighting for the title: “We are interested in what we do, not what the other teams do.”
