"Well, I don't know... not many. There were rules: three foreigners could play per game, but there were six of us. The three Dutchmen: Rijkaard, Gullit, and Van Basten. And three others: Papin, Boban, and me. My first year, 1992-93, I only played ten league games. I had to adapt; that Milan were a great team with a lot of quality and a lot of competition."
"In the Coppa Italia, August 1992, against Ternana 4-0. I scored two goals. One from a penalty and the other, a beautiful one, from about twenty metres into the top corner. Then the first derby, also in the Coppa Italia, a few months later. No, not the dates. But the derbies, yes. I'll quickly count them. So: four in the league and three in the Coppa Italia: seven in total. And two goals."
Dejan Savicevic joined Milan in 1992 and remained until 1998, winning three Serie A titles and the 1993-94 UEFA Champions League. He earned the nickname 'Il Genio' for his style and produced a man-of-the-match display in the 1994 Champions League Final, scoring a memorable lob. Early playing time was limited by a foreign-player rule and heavy competition from teammates such as Rijkaard, Gullit and Van Basten. The full debut came in the Coppa Italia in August 1992 against Ternana, where two goals were scored. A total of seven derbies were played, yielding two goals.
