Jao Felix, sensational market backstory

Joao Felix, new AC Milan striker, è introduced himself in a press conference: "We had two wins. I had the opportunity to play at San Siro and score for Milan. I knew the greatness of this club, Milan è immense. From the outside you can see that è a very big club and when you are inside you understand that you are in one of the biggest clubs".

"My footballer è always been Kakà. I have never spoken with him about AC Milan, but I have exchanged ideas with him in the past,” the Portuguese added. È for me an idol, but I cannot compare myself to him. I hope to make history like him".

"Four strikers on the field è sustainable? Of course it è. I don’t know if è normal or not, defense è very important, but it doesn’t mean that with four strikers you can’t defend. Gimenez, Pulisic, Leao and I are strikers, but when there is to defend we are there to do our job as well. We also help in defense and always look for balance, as you could see in the second half of Empoli".

He then revealed a market backstory: "My agent told me that Inter were interested. But I had already started dealing with Milan and I was already planning to come to Milan. I said it would be impossible, I had already decided to come here".

On choosing the number: "The truth" è that è a number I am very attached to, my first number as a professional. è a special issue, it will always be there in my career. I è always liked it. 79, 14, 11, 7… It is not the numbers that affect, forò this è special".

"My goal è to help the club, the team and win titles. The career of a player è made of this: titles. The important thing è winning and that è is my goal. As long as I stay è here my goal è to win titles and nothing else" concluded Joao Felix.
