Alessandro Florenzi, who had arrived at the club in the summer, played an important part with his leadership and contributions on the pitch. When asked about it in his recent interview with Serie A, he highlighted that the group as a whole was the secret ingredient.
“It was an incredible thing because it was truly a special year, as we also returned to playing in the Champions League that season. Everything started with us getting eliminated from the Champions League. We were still hanging on in the league; it was in January, February.
“We were three, two points behind the top team, which was Inter in this case. We put all our energy into the league and in the end, we had an amazing run. I think that was definitely one of the peaks of my career.
“As I like to say, the best player who helped us win the Scudetto was the group. Not Leao, not Hernandez, not Ibrahimovic, no Kjaer. It was a group that worked in the same direction and I think that’s the secret ingredient to really winning something important.
After his contract expired in the summer, Florenzi decided to retire from professional football at the age of 34. In addition to the Scudetto with Milan, he also had many great seasons with Roma, and also featured during the Euros with Italy in 2021 (when they won).
get the f out of here u bum !!!!! Leao brought that league ttitle and u know it u bum
It was ibra that brought the league, with is motivation, if not for injury, he will have bench Giroud
Ibra was the captain and everyone stayed in line. then Giroud a bit less effective. Then Theo became the heart and soul of the dressing room.
Florenzi knows ball.
It’s always a team effort especially when it’s a league title over the course of many games. Lots of ifs…. Eg Tonali vs Lazio if he didn’t do what he did we would be talking about something completely different but that also ignores the work Leao et al were putting in to make it close. It was a beautiful Scudetto. One of the happiest moment as a fan esp given all we had to endure the prior 10-15 years. I wish we can get the same feeling this year
Every goal matter in that scudetto
