"These have been months of growth. However, I went from a club where I always played and got a lot of playing time, until I reached the national team, to a club where there is rightly much higher competition and where I got less playing time. Fortunately, in these last few games I've managed to find consistency and get minutes, earning myself back in the national team. It's very important for me."
"Very positive. Even in these months when I haven't been called up, I've had the chance to speak to him: that's not a given; it means he also values those who stayed at home. I had little opportunity to interact with him at Coverciano, but I only arrived yesterday. He'll always be the coach who launched me into the national team, I'll always be close to him. I wish him all the best for what he does at Juventus."
"We had a wonderful relationship, but I think that applies to the other members of the team as well."
Samuele Ricci moved from Torino to AC Milan in a deal widely reported at €25m including bonuses. Ricci left a club where he was captain and regularly started, then faced stronger competition for playing time at Milan. Rabiot's injury provided opportunities for Ricci to earn consistent minutes and impress. Gennaro Gattuso called Ricci back into the Italy squad and emphasized Ricci's versatility to cover multiple roles. Ricci described his relationship with coaches as positive, noted limited interaction at Coverciano due to recent arrival, and expressed gratitude toward the coach who originally launched him into the national team.
