MILAN (ITALPRESS) – At the San Siro he showed up last week with a “magic” (goal complete with a lob in the Coppa Italia against Roma); in front of the press he appeared today, very smiling, with lots of good intentions. Joao Felix is eager to become part of Milan’s history. Introducing him in today’s conference was a Rossoneri legend, namely manager Zlatan Ibrahimovic. “Joao has already presented himself great right away on the pitch. He is the last of the great signings made in the winter market. He is a strong player with great international experience. We were looking for someone like him: he is someone who has magic. He can score goals and assist and can give us so much. The coach knows him well. We have to do everything to make him fit into the group as best we can,” said the Swede, certain that the Portuguese can coexist with Pulisic, Leao and Gimenez. “We made this market trying to give the coach two teams. We play a lot, we need alternatives. The coach has so many options now. If they defend, the four ‘bigs’ can coexist. You need balance, you have to defend and attack all together. The important thing is to have given the coach two teams and many alternatives. It’s up to him to decide who to play, no one has a guaranteed place on the field. Hopefully Joao Felix can go down in Milan history and become a club legend as well,” Ibra added. “Milan is a huge club, you can see it from the outside and when you enter the San Siro you understand why it is one of the biggest clubs in Europe. It’s been a fantastic week, with two wins and the opportunity to play and score for Milan,” Joao Felix said at the opening press conference. “Kaka has always been my favorite player, we have met in the past, I did not talk to him about my arrival at Milan but for me he is an idol: I cannot compare myself to him but I would like to be able to make history like he did here,” the Portuguese then explained. “I can live with Pulisic, Leao and Gimenez. The fact that we are four offensive players does not mean much. We can all four play well in both phases of the game and also help the team in defense,” Joao Felix said again, before confirming that he was also sought by Inter: “It’s true. It happened during the last market window but I immediately told my agent that I had already decided to come here to Milan. I would like to enter the history of this club for the successes and also for the number of my goals.”- photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
