"I think this year we're seeing the true face of Milan again. Even though I wasn't in the group, I saw from afar that last year was difficult. This year we've started off on a good foundation, and as we always say, with a beautifully united group and a family spirit, we're slowly doing the things we did well. We're very happy."
"When last season ended, we learned that Allegri was the new manager, and he called me and told me his intention was to keep me in this group. Seeing a coach like that, it was clear to me that I wanted to stay here with him: having the trust of a coach like Allegri is a great thing, and I immediately told him I was available."
Alexis Saelemaekers has produced a brilliant start since returning to AC Milan, securing the right wing-back position in the 3-5-2 system with standout performances, including against Roma. He returned after two loan spells at Bologna and Roma and remained at Milan following Massimiliano Allegri's expressed desire to keep him. Allegri's trust has translated into consistent selection and form, and Saelemaekers reports personal growth and greater maturity off the pitch. The squad displays unity and a family spirit that underpins a strong foundation for the season. Contract renewal talks are hinted as a likely next step.
