"I was incredibly happy in Italy, 12 wonderful years in two fantastic cities and clubs that gave me so much. Teams and people I'll carry with me for the rest of my life. I won many more titles at Milan, but at Fiorentina, there was more passion for their city. Do you return to these cities often? Not as much as I'd like, time doesn't allow it, nor do my commitments at Benfica."
"I miss Florence and Milan so much that when I go there, I suffer a bit. I've made friends in Italy, but when I go back, I can't see them all. It's something that makes me feel really bad."
Rui Costa spent 12 years playing in Italy for Fiorentina and AC Milan, appearing 124 times for Milan and scoring four goals. He won a Champions League, a Supercoppa, a Serie A title, a Coppa Italia and a UEFA Super Cup during his five-year stay at Milan. He values the passion of Fiorentina's city and the silverware achieved at Milan. He remains emotionally attached to Florence and Milan, misses the cities and friends made there, and struggles with limited time and commitments at Benfica that prevent frequent returns, causing him regret.
