Alex: ‘Wonderful at Milan’

Central defender Alex calls Milan “wonderful” and “one of the biggest clubs I’ve played for”.

The 33-year-old has also represented Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, but praised his current employers and Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic.

“I listen to what the coach and his staff have to say,” Alex explained to Milan Channel.

“Mihajlovic was a great defender and when he talks it helps us a lot. I am pleased with the way things have gone at Milan over the last two years.

“Mihajlovic was a great defender and when he talks it helps us a lot. I am pleased with the way things have gone at Milan over the last two years.

“I’ve always worked hard and it is one of the biggest clubs I’ve played for. It is wonderful for me and all the players. Hopefully I will win the Italian Cup and do well.”

The Rossoneri were defeated by Sassuolo at the weekend, but Alex doesn’t believe that spells the end of their Champions League hopes.

“It is always difficult to play against Sassuolo. We should have scored with the opportunities we had.

“Then we conceded a goal from a set-play, a goal that we should not have conceded because then everything became more difficult.

“We have to forget this match and do much better in the next one. We can and must gain as many points as possible.

“We have to be more careful especially at the beginning and we have to create opportunities and score right away so it becomes easier.”
