Krunic says 'AC Milan is a dream come true' and reveals his idol growing up

AC Milan's new arrival Rade Krunic spoke to Milan TV and revealed his first impressions as a Milan player.

"I realized my dream, I am the happiest person in the world. I have always dreamed of this shirt and these colours. Giampaolo? He was my first coach in Italy and he made me grow a lot. I played 20 games in my first year under him after arriving at a young age and in my first year abroad," he said.

"He is a very important coach because he has his style of play, he likes to keep possession of the ball, as we midfielders like. He can do very well at Milan. I hope to do good things with him.

"My characteristics? I have a bit of everything, especially in terms of progressions and acceleration with the ball. I talked with some important players, heroes and idols like Maldini and Boban. I was excited to be at Casa Milan. I think I can do good things here.

"The San Siro? Devastating feeling, I was afraid to enter the field. It will be nice to play with my favourite colours. My idol? It was Kaka. I think we have similar traits but of course, he is a much better player and he is a more offensive player. I received many messages from the fans, I hope to do well here," Krunic concluded.
