Kalulu: ‘Milan? I was not afraid of failing. What a sight to train against Ibra and Giroud ‘

In these cases it is said that the iron must be beaten while it is hot. Well, Kalulu’s is definitely hot. He blossomed, also thanks to the stop of Romagnoli, of which he practically took the place as owner next to Tomori. And Pioli right now really has no reason to go back to the old hierarchy. The goal at Empoli, then, was the icing on the cake for this guy who is currently with the French Under 21 national team.

Those challenges in training

“I work hard to be reliable, that’s what makes a player great,” he said L’Equipe -. Pioli pushes me to be attentive to everything and you can see the results. In my career I have never been the expected player, the one for whom you make the effort. I was often in the situation where the train would leave without me. I knew it was going to take some time, but I knew I was going to work to play. I was not afraid of failing at Milan. It could also happen to Lyon and I would have been forgotten. The dream was to shine at Lyon, but it didn’t happen. In Milan, in terms of dreams, I raised the bar. It was complicated at the beginning because I was alone, but it’s a pleasant city and playing for Milan has helped me a lot. Being a Milan defender means training every day against Ibrahimovic. It’s tiring and rewarding, both Zlatan and Giroud always want to win. When they come to talk to you, you have to show your ego and respond. In training, if you put your shoulder on, it becomes a little struggle. You must always be hungry to win. Our training sessions are worth seeing: we have competitions, duels and great intensity during the match “.
