Ambhu: Casey should not think that Milan are a second-rate team, that others can pay high salaries≠ more senior

Milan star Ambrosini recently gave a lengthy interview to The Milan Sport newspaper, in which he talked about Milan's performance this season, his views on a number of players and the focus of Casey's contract extension.

What part of this season do you like most about Milan? What's your favorite place?

From an overall point of view, I like the atmosphere of unity in Milan the most, from the coach to the club to the fans as a whole, which is also the main feature of Milan in 2021, that is, the teamwork of various departments. The less brilliant parts are obviously related to injuries, but I know the staff and doctors well, and a lot of the situations are inevitable, partly by accident, and partly related to the excessive density of games.

Will Milan be able to remain competitive in the league until the end of the season?

Absolutely, we're talking about overall performance, so we can't be fooled by one or two games that aren't very good. Of course, there is still a certain gap between competing for the league title and actually winning the title, which Inter made up for last season and maintained its state stability.

There's been a lot of talk about the depth of the squad lately, do you think Milan's squad is good enough?

Yes, of course, Kyard's injury absence deserves Milan's reflection, but other than that I don't think Milan are particularly short of people in any position, if there are already Olivier Giroud and Ibrahimovic available in the center, then this position is enough, because Milan's style of play is not a two-striker system.

Another important candidate on the offensive end is Messias, with Bakayoko adding depth in midfield and Florenzi on the right side improving, and I don't see where milan have particularly big flaws.

Which position do you think Milan is in the most demand relatively speaking?

There is now a lack of clarity in the front waist position, more unknowns, and if Casey continues to play the front back, the back position will need a fresh force, but Pioli is very good at adjusting the state of the players, he can make the players play their best.

Which of Milan's rumored transfer targets are you most interested in?

I've heard that Adélie could be recalled early and there's been a lot of positive comments about him, but what interests me the most is how Milan can maintain a good current squad and continue to gain stability.

Let's discuss Milan's best and worst in 2021

Ibrahimovic's presence fosters the growth of everyone, so the best cannot be discussed without his name, as well as Kyal, because he has been silently dedicating everything to the team. As for the worst, I don't think it exists.

As Milan's own person, do you want the Elliott Fund to take control of Milan for a long time, rather than just as a temporary option?

Changing owners in football often means turmoil, but unlike other models, the Elliott Fund has given management enough authority to run the club in the best possible way and has given Milan some financial guarantees.

Although Elliott is still a temporary boss, I think their work is very successful, at least compared to the disaster period of the Chinese boss in previous years, it is a completely different story, I think this state can be maintained, there is no need to rush to find a home.

One of the main goals of the club is the new stadium, and now that the project has a concrete plan, do you miss the old San Siro Stadium?

I think this kind of renewal, although painful and sad, is very necessary, if the club can guarantee financial stability with the new stadium, then I can cry twice less...

Maldini is quickly adapting to the role of sporting director...

He is very capable and good at self-learning, so he can quickly adapt to a new job, of course, he also has to control his personality and make some compromises. The kind of person who has the ability to have a good relationship with anyone is a smart person, after all, the world is not simple at all, in my opinion, Paul and milan executives maintain a harmonious relationship, of course, he can achieve work success because he is good at digging the right goals.

But regarding Casey's contract extension work seems to be a failure at the moment, do you have anything to say to Frank?

Over the years, I have maintained absolute respect for other people's life choices. I hope Casey can make a choice without considering other conditions, all I can say is: Milan are not "lower" than clubs that may offer higher salaries, and if you are comfortable playing at Milan, taking an annual salary of 8 million instead of 6 million should not be your main concern.

I would say this: Casey shouldn't think of it as a second-rate team when he thinks of Milan .com.

Of course, I have not drawn any conclusions on this topic, and I will wait until the last day of the renewal negotiations.

Let's talk about the rest of the midfield, what do you think of Tonali?

This year it looks like Tonali's brother is playing (it seems that Tonali is a different person), he has done very well, the progress has been rapid, we all know he is strong, but trying to show strength and maintain a good attitude is actually a complicated job. I think Tonari still has a lot of room to improve on the offensive end and can score a few more goals with his footwork.

Who do you think Milan have done best in recent years?

Considering the price/performance ratio, it is Saler Marcos and the deal is simply incredible.

Ibrahimovic has been plagued by injuries many times this year, is it a good choice to renew his contract for another year?

Ibrahimovic's presence gives everyone security, I've never met someone as strongly as he is eager to pursue records, and if I were the manager, I couldn't have not welcomed such a player.

Which player will belong to Milan in 2022?

The first half of the sentence is Leo and Brahin, or rather, Brahin before the coronavirus, and The future of Milan depends a lot on them, because these players have the most valuable room for improvement, and that's what we focus on when we talk about Milan, we still need to take a step forward, Milan have not yet won any honors, it is not enough to participate in the championship competition.
