In a recent interview, AC Milan defender Malick Thiaw was asked about which player he associates the most with the club. The answer he gave made a lot of sense but was also quite unexpected.
Thiaw joined Milan ahead of the season and after a lack of playing time in the first half, he has been given the chance a lot more this year and he has impressed. So much that he was called up to Germany’s national team for the current break.
Speaking to the national team’s official channel, which you can read in full here, Thiaw was asked which player he associates the most with Milan. As stated above, the answer made a lot of sense but was also unexpected.
“Looking back, who I associate most with AC Milan is Kevin-Prince Boateng. His two goals against FC Barcelona and against FC Arsenal made me go into raptures. I was very young, I saw the games on TV and I thought: Wow!”
Kevin-Prince Boateng quickly became a fan favourite at Milan and he certainly had this ability to score stunning goals. In the videos below, you can take a look at the goals Thiaw is referring to.
