"My first year at Lazio wasn't easy; it was a tough six months. There was a moment when I wanted to quit and go home. I would have started playing with friends, maybe even worked as a waiter, which was my job growing up. Tare changed my mind. Maybe I'll watch Milan-Lazio with him on Saturday night at San Siro. I've played there many times and had some great performances there."
"Yes, winning the derby was a big step forward. Modric controls the ball, Fofana, Loftus-Cheek, and Rabiot are strong in midfield. And up front, Pulisic and Leao have a lot of quality. Without the cups, it will be easier, even though there are many teams in contention."
"Milan approached me in the 2018/2019 season, when I spoke with Maldini and Leonardo. But I've always known how things are in Italy, so it wasn't easy to lure me away from Lazio."
