Ismael BennacerMilan midfielder, spoke to the microphones of Milan TV at the end of the Champions League match won 1-0 against Girona: “The assist for Leao? I’m happy to have done something that helps the team. Rafa did well. Assist, goal, recovering the ball: that’s my job” .
About your physical condition
“I feel very good, I’m working hard to be at the top, even better than before. It’s not easy to come back after months of injury, but it’s part of the job. Little by little I’m getting back to 100%.”
A group victory
“Without a group you don’t go anywhere. And it is with this that we move forward, with this spirit that we win. We know that without a collective there is no individuality”.
