Mario Pasalic admits “it was not an easy start” at Milan, but thanks Vincenzo Montella who “always believed in me”.
The Croatian midfielder is on loan from Chelsea, and has recently become a regular part of the Rossoneri side.
“It was not an easy start,” Pasalic told Milan TV.
“I didn't manage to play that much, but I kept working hard to improve my condition. The Coach [Montella] and all the staff have always believed in me. Against Pescara the boss gave me the chance to play and I performed pretty well.

“I keep improving game after game and now I'm almost at 100 per cent.
“I am trying to learn Italian, and [Manuel] Locatelli is helping me a lot with this. I think it's essential because it helps you with your reationship with the other teammates and the staff.
“I want to learn Italian like I've learned English and Spanish.
“I’ve played in La Liga, in the Premier League and Ligue 1: they are all different and each one has its difficulties.
“I easily adapt to every situation though, and I always try to do my best and show my qualities.”
