Milan Skriniar has been named best Slovakian player of 2020 and says his daughter's birth was a turning point for him.

The Slovakian defender is a regular starter under Antonio Conte this season but struggled with game time at the end of the 2019-20 campaign.

"I got motivated when my daughter was born [in October 2020]. I re-obtained a starter spot, and I think I am going to keep it," Skriniar said after receiving the award.

"I don't think about individual targets. I want to win with Inter and with my national team. I want to help my teammates," he added.

"I am really happy for this award, it's not only my merit, but my teammates also deserve the praise, both at Inter and Slovakia.

"This award is a strong motivation for me. It was a good season for me, but not perfect, I thought I would be among the top three. I am happy for this achievement."
