He recalled, “It's true, I start from this advantage. Because I am also linked to this club, not only because of my personal history. Milan have a history that presents itself, it doesn't even need to be told. These things combined can make all the difference in fact.

“That's how it was with Theo Hernandez, although my first real purchase was (Rade) Krunic. A deal I made on my own. For Theo I spoke first with Real Madrid and then with him, I spoke to him almost like a father to a son.

“But with my players I like to relate like that. I try to support them as boys first and then players."
