"Thank you. It's the club that launched me into the first team, the club that I loved and still love. I had a great time at Milan: I didn't want to leave. But when the season started, I realised I wouldn't be a key player: there were several situations I didn't appreciate."
"I wasn't given the responsibility I thought I deserved; they should have believed in me more. I'll give you an example. At the start of the season, I asked for the number 2 shirt: I wanted it for the tradition of great full-backs. They said no: they said I wasn't ready, that I was too immature."
"From day one, I apologised to Allegri: I don't believe what I wrote. And he accepted my apology. But all these situations have taken away my peace of mind, and I was also the one who told the club to find solution."
Alex Jimenez, a Spanish defender who joined AC Milan from Real Madrid, departed the club during the summer transfer window. Though he showed promise through the Milan Futuro project, his relationship with new coach Massimiliano Allegri deteriorated. Jimenez felt undervalued, citing management's refusal to grant him the number 2 shirt and their assessment that he was immature. He acknowledged making mistakes, including a controversial comment about Allegri that he later apologized for. Despite loving the club, Jimenez decided to leave after losing confidence and peace of mind, ultimately requesting the club find him a solution.
