The words of Santiago Gimenez

Santiago Gimenez gave a long interview to Milan’s official channels after his debut: "Everything è went exactly as I wanted".

"Since I was a child I have always followed AC Milan, è one of the teams I was in love with when I was growing up. I used to see Kakà, Beckham, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Pirlo, Gattuso; playing. Basically that whole group of players that enchanted the world. And since I was a child è it was always my dream. When I got the call I said to myself, wow I have this opportunity è and I don’t want to miss it".

"I also met Kakà. who è a role model for me, not only for soccer, but also becauseè we share the same faith. And he always motivated me, talked to me about faith and inspired me. From that moment I knew that Milan was the right destination for me".

Closing remark on the goal: "It has a meaning that goes beyond soccer. Maybe someone might say that I insist too much on faith, but thanking God on my knees in front of the whole stadium and in front of millions of cameras è the best way to give Him glory and also to be an example of how with God everything è is possible. For a striker, then, scoring è everything. Strikers live for the goal and the only way to return that happiness to the fans, to reciprocate the joy they give you, è to score many goals and make them cheer many times".
