De Winter reveals childhood bond with Milan including father's plan to name him after Seedorf
"It all happened so quickly: it was August 10th, and I remember I was walking on the beach in Camogli with my grandfather and cousin. My agent called and asked if I wanted to join Milan. Of course, I said yes right away, and thirty minutes later, I had all the news on my phone's social media."
"As a child, I watched Milan's Champions League matches on TV and played the Rossoneri on my PlayStation. My dad watched them even before I was born. "He liked Seedorf and wanted to name me after him, Clarence (and he points to a photo of Milan, the one where Ancelotti's team celebrates their victory in the European Super Cup against Sevilla on August 31, 2007).""
"Great. I have a great relationship with the coach. He's as friendly with us as you see him from the outside, but above all, he's a very balanced person. He's clear about his goal, he knows what he wants, and he goes straight to achieving it. "Confidence in football makes all the difference, and hearing it spoken""
Koni De Winter joined AC Milan from Genoa in August and initially sat as the fourth-choice centre-back behind Tomori, Gabbia and Pavlovic. Early difficulties gave way to improved performances, and he has emerged recently as one of the most in-form defenders in the squad, earning consistent starts under Massimiliano Allegri. De Winter described a rapid transfer decision taken while he was on a beach in Camogli. He grew up watching Milan on TV and playing them on PlayStation, inspired by his father's admiration for Clarence Seedorf. He praises Allegri as friendly, balanced, clear about objectives, and emphasizes confidence in football.
