Suso insists “Milan can count on me” and praises Coach Vincenzo Montella’s “Spanish” style.
The midfielder joined the Rossoneri in January 2015 from Liverpool, but played just 55 Serie A minutes last season before being loaned to Genoa.
“I feel like this year will be different, because I’ve improved,” Suso told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I’m working hard, even harder, because I understand this could be the defining moment of my career.

The midfielder joined the Rossoneri in January 2015 from Liverpool, but played just 55 Serie A minutes last season before being loaned to Genoa.
“I feel like this year will be different, because I’ve improved,” Suso told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I’m working hard, even harder, because I understand this could be the defining moment of my career.
“When I arrived in 2015 I wasn’t in great shape physically and I had to acclimatise so [Filippo] Inzaghi kept me out a little bit.
“What I don’t understand is why it happened in the first half of last season. I talked to the club and they said there were no pre-conclusions about me, but I was continually on the bench.
“I never asked [Sinisa] Mihajlovic for anything, he never gave me an explanation. I always trained well, but I didn’t play. I’m not someone who causes trouble if he doesn’t play though, I knew my time would come.
“I went to Genoa to show everyone, myself included, that I was fit to wear the Milan shirt. I have the qualities to do it.
“Montella’s game suits me? It’s true, he likes to play with the ball and keep possession, and for a club like Milan that’s an important philosophy.
“If we keep the ball at our feet it becomes difficult for our opponents. I like him, because he’s very Spanish in that.
“I just need trust and consistency, that’s the key. All I ask is to play as much as possible, and with this Coach I feel my time is coming.
“Milan can count on me, because I’ve matured enough to be able to say that and I’ve always taken on my responsibilities.
“I’ve always said I want this club, and I want to do something important: no more loans.”
