Ritchie: I never thought of playing football with Magic Diary. I have only talked about houses and rents with him at the moment

After Reindez transferred to Manchester City, Ricci became Milan's first signing this summer, which is part of the reconstruction of the Ross and Blacks' midfield. In an interview with Cronache di Spogliatoio, Richie talked about several topics about starting his career in Milan.

What impressed me most about the initial impression of Milan is the intensity in training, which is healthy despite the fierce competition. Although I've just arrived, I've made some friends, including those behind the scenes. This even includes the head coach, the one who knows what he is doing.

About Allegri

Allegri's important quality is knowing how to win, and he also taught us the secret. I immediately felt the importance I received, which left a deep impression on me. He likes to joke off the court and always smiles. However, on the court, he pays great attention to attitude and details.

About the Italian Cup debut in San Siro

Entering the stadium as a Milan player at San Siro yesterday, which made me very excited.

About ball protection skills

Many coaches will tell you this, but few people really pay attention to it. Spaletti told me that when I get the ball, I have to be in the wing position, sandwiched between two offensive players, and then observe ten times first, if I only observe four times, it won't work, these details determine everything. Spaletti pays great attention to details, and he has helped me a lot in this regard.

Regarding how to play under pressure, I like to control the ball. Even if you can't get the ball in the game, you need to take the initiative to compete for the ball. Serie A is a very complex league with many tactics and tight defenses on the team, making it difficult for you to find space. This is a high-level league with many great players. The ball often does not pass to your feet. You need to use your body to get rid of the other party and observe first. The higher the level, the more difficult it is, although I find Serie B more difficult in this regard.

About Modric

In fact, we have only talked about houses and rents in Milan right now! Modric is interested in Italian football and he is curious about the difference from Spain, and I noticed that many people rely on him. Modric is a very humble man and is important in the locker room, although he has only been here for a while. To be honest, I never thought I would be able to play football with him one day! He is so familiar with the ball, which is impressive.
