Leo: Milan gave and taught me too much. Ibrahimovic didn t approve of me playing rap at first

On May 20th, Milan winger Leo accepted a special interview with ICON magazine, responding to outside criticism and also talking about multiple topics including Milan.

You joined Milan in 2019 "Yes, it's been a long time. When I joined, I was only 20 years old and I felt like I was a child. Now, I have grown into a man: all members of the club, from teammates to management, have helped me continue to improve. Day after day, year after year, they have given me so much and taught me so much. I want to thank everyone who has been with Milan for these years. They have made great contributions to me."

About foreign Criticism in the world

"I usually don't pay attention to criticism. If someone criticizes you, it means you are good enough in what you do and are highly expected. In any case, I don't feel stressed because I love football and it is the best existence in my life. I was born to play football, and every time I stepped on the court, I try to seize opportunities to do what I love the most. Of course, this is also a job, and I always treat it with a sense of responsibility, but also with the desire to have fun with my teammates and seize opportunities. "

The game that is remembered the most

" At the national team level, it was the 2022 World Cup match against Ghana, which was my first appearance on the World Cup stage. In Milan, it was the season finale against Sassuolo away in May 2022, and that game secured the Serie A championship for us."

Your dribbling skills

" Dribbling may best reflect my calmness on the court: people are talking, and pressure is everywhere, but when I step on the ball I can put everything behind my head. That's my battle with myself. My goal is always to break through myself. "

The bond with Milan

" Everything in Milan is beautiful. There are countless fans here, the food is attractive, and the climate is similar to that of Portugal. My family regards this as a writer. Will I miss my motherland? Of course, part of my family is still in Portugal, and my children are born there, and there is always a part of my heart. But Italy has given me so much, and it has witnessed me. Growing up, this friendship will always stay in my heart. "

Love for fashion

"I am a simple person, and I like simple styles: I pursue comfortable outfits, not go with the flow, and not dress to please others. This is also the beauty of Milan: there is fashion week here, and there are people with exquisite clothes and unique styles. Since I came here, my fashion taste has also been improved. This love comes from my father. Although my family was not wealthy in my childhood, he still tried his best to make me dress decently and choose good-looking shoes for me Son. He himself is also passionate about fashion. "

About music

"I listen to all types of music, and the style depends on the mood of the day. When I wake up in the morning, I will choose different music based on my emotions. Ibrahimovic initially disapproved of me for rap. He just thought that everything should be prioritized. He asked us to remain absolutely focused on the court, but he also understood that music is my personality expression and understood that I would not be distracted as a professional player. "

Fatherhood

"After becoming a father, I learned to cherish time and grasp every moment I spend with my children. When I feel depressed, whenever I go home and see them, all difficulties will disappear. They are my source of strength. Their smiles give me energy. Even if problems follow, they are always my motivation to overcome everything. They are two angels, and I hope to create a better future for them."

About Amateur Life

"I like to stay at home and sleep Sleeping for a long time. The life of a player is not as easy as it seems. It seems that we can have and buy everything, but rest and family time are the most precious, which is something that money cannot be exchanged for. Therefore, after the training, I will accompany my family and children. When I am alone, I will try my best to rest and think about the next goal I want to achieve. "

Future Outlook

"I still have too many goals to achieve: I want to maintain my love for football and always gallop on a high-level stage."
