Suso: ‘No more loans, I want to be a regular starter at AC Milan’
Was this summer the turning point of your career?
“I hope so. I feel this campaign will be different because I’ve improved a lot. I am working hard and I’ve understood that’s a decisive moment for my career. We are still at the beginning but I am the best scorer of the team at the moment. I like being important, but we can achieve results only with hard work.”
Did you need the appointment of Montella to play on a regular basis?
“When I arrived in 2015 I was not 100% fit and I had to settle in well. I didn’t understand what happened last year. The club told me there were no preclusions, but I could not start one single game. Mihajlovic never gave me any expalination, I trained well but I did not play. I don’t become noisy if I don’t play. I knew my moment would have arrived.”
Montella’s idea of football fits perfectly with your qualities
“True. He likes playing the ball, he loves ball possession and for a club like AC Milan that’s very important. If we have the ball on our feet, it is difficult for our opponents. I like Montella because he’s a bit ‘Spanish’. I need to be trusted, that’s the key. I am only asking to get more game time and I believe there is now the right manager to pay on a regular basis.”
Would you prefer playing for a top-club with less game time or a medium one on a regular basis?
“I want to be honest. Playing is all that matters at my age. If I can do it at AC Milan, that are a top club, then everything becomes perfect.”
Do you regret leaving Liverpool?
“My contract was expiring and their proposal was not good enough. They are a special club. I arrived there when I was very young, it looked like a dream. If I play at AC Milan, that’s thanks to them. Moving to Italy was the right choice.”
