Diego Moreira's First Words

"I'm excited and a little bit in disbelief, because when you talk about Milan, you talk about titles, history, and all the great champions who have played here. It's a huge club: you know what's expected of you, and I believe this is the right moment to arrive here. It's very important for me that people understand that I'm a guy who likes to joke around, but also extremely focused and who, on the pitch, gives everything for my teammates, for the fans, and for the club. That will never change, because it's part of me since I was little."
