Milan goalkeeper Pepe Reina “can’t wait” to make his San Siro debut, and discusses his new life away from “the chaos of Naples”.
The Spaniard joined the Rossoneri on a free transfer this summer when his Napoli contract expired, and is expected to be in goal for the Europa League match with Olympiakos tonight.
“I’ve experienced it as an opponent many times,” Reina pointed out in his interview for the match program.
“Every player loves to play at San Siro and I can’t wait to get on the pitch and give everything to have a good game. We hope we can win.
“The first few months here have been positive, this is a really big club. You can see that from afar, and as soon as you arrive you realise just how big it is.
“From the inside you understand just how many great players have passed through here, and that has to be our mentality: to return to the winning times or at least compete with the big clubs and make our fans happy.
“Living in the north is a lot like northern Spain. You stay at home and have a more peaceful life, with a blanket and a movie.
“In the south you can jump on to the street right away, it really doesn’t take much. Milan is a more organised city, it’s quieter with less chaos.
“I was at ease in the chaos of Naples too though. There are some things about Naples that you miss.”
