00:00 (upbeat music)
00:03 - It was a great feeling.
00:04 When I heard AC Miller was looking for me
00:07 and they want to sign me,
00:08 I was a little bit nervous and everything.
00:11 And through all my social media,
00:13 I was seeing the Zaria fans,
00:16 AC Miller fans writing me,
00:17 sending me messages to come to the club.
00:19 They are amazing people.
00:20 That's the most,
00:21 the first expression was the fans.
00:23 They are the people that makes me to come here
00:24 because the way they were sending me messages,
00:26 tagging me, telling me so many things to come to the club.
00:29 That was actually what makes me to come here
00:32 because the way they were sending me messages
00:35 on my Instagram pages was amazing.
00:37 I think the fans are amazing also.
00:39 That's what makes me to come here.
00:40 They told me I was,
00:41 I thought he was joking or maybe,
00:44 (laughs)
00:45 I thought he was joking,
00:45 but literally when he sent me the draft contract
00:49 of AC Miller, I was like,
00:50 let me think about it and see what he's doing.
00:53 I didn't think about it twice or thrice.
00:54 I said, okay, I think I need to make another step
00:57 with AC Miller.
00:59 - I think six years, you keep learning.
01:01 Every year you keep learning.
01:02 Every time you keep learning,
01:03 I think it's the most important thing.
01:05 Six years in Spain, I think I learned so many things
01:07 and I have done so many things in European football.
01:10 And making this kind of advice in my career,
01:13 I think is the most important thing for me.
01:15 And I think I can't wait to start playing here
01:18 because I think here I can develop me more.
01:20 And I think I can't wait to hear the fans chant.
01:23 That's the most important thing I've been waiting for.
01:25 We joke about it since the last time we first started calling
01:28 and he said, someone, AC Miller, he said,
01:30 "You're a very nice club, it's a best club.
01:32 "Don't hesitate to sign with them.
01:34 "They are fantastic.
01:35 "They have good people and their fans is amazing."
01:37 I said, "So tell me more about it.
01:39 "How do you feel when you're playing against them?"
01:41 He said, "Their fans are amazing.
01:43 "They are crazy about football and everything."
01:45 I said, "Okay, no problem."
01:46 I said, "But don't worry.
01:48 "I hope you know I'm gonna win you."
01:50 He said, "Let's see how you go."
01:52 So we just joke about it.
01:53 He's a good guy.
01:54 He told me, he was the major role
01:56 that told me to sign for AC Miller.
01:58 Because he said I should come to Italy.
02:00 I can't wait to meet them in person
02:04 and I can't wait to see them
02:05 because I think they're amazing people
02:07 and I've seen them play
02:08 and I can't wait to play with them.
02:10 I think they can make me to be more better.
02:12 Because seeing them playing in European competitions
02:15 and everything, I think they seem perfectly good
02:17 and I think they can help the team also
02:20 because signing them is most important
02:22 for the club and for everything, I think.
02:24 - When I was a child, it was only Ricardo Kaka.
02:28 (laughs)
02:29 Only when the Champions League against Manchester United
02:33 and the way he touched the ball with his head
02:35 and defended the chance, that was amazing.
02:38 So I think Ricardo Kaka was one of the best players
02:42 I loved in AC Miller because he was fantastic.
02:44 He was good, actually.
02:46 But when I watched some of his clips on YouTube,
02:49 I saw all the amazing things in him.
02:51 He was in AC Miller's shirt.
02:52 I think he's an amazing player.
02:54 Then I played with Baka, that played in AC Miller
02:57 and also because he played in Villarreal also.
02:59 So I contacted him to ask him about the club
03:01 and everything.
03:02 He told me, "They're amazing. They're nice."
03:04 So I saw many players because I really love AC Miller.
03:08 I think it's an amazing club.
03:10 They're a history club also.
03:12 So I asked them and they told me, "It's fantastic.
03:16 You should make a move for it."
03:17 When I was growing up,
03:21 it was a little bit difficult in Africa.
03:24 Africa is where you have to work hard
03:26 to show everything, working hard to come to Europe
03:29 so that you develop your talent and everything.
03:31 In Africa, you have to do so many things
03:34 to become who you are today.
03:35 So in Africa, developing talent and everything
03:39 was very hard.
03:40 But through the hard work and everything,
03:42 and God's grace and everything,
03:44 I think everything worked perfectly fine
03:46 and it makes me do it because there are so many obstacles
03:50 for me to become what I am today.
03:52 Obstacles from Africa, from Europe and everything.
03:55 But today, it wasn't easy.
03:58 My mum said, "I love you to play football."
04:00 And I said, "Why?"
04:01 You know, African mothers, they don't want to hear.
04:03 They don't believe you have to study and everything.
04:05 But things change.
04:07 You know, when God said that this is your destiny
04:09 and this is your destiny, things change.
04:11 My mum bought my boots and everything.
04:14 But last night, he believed in football.
04:16 He trusts the process.
04:18 You know, before, he doesn't trust the process,
04:20 but now he trusts the process.
04:21 I love to play in the right wing.
04:25 It's the most important place.
04:27 When I watch Ajan Robin and everything,
04:29 because he's my idol, I watch him so much
04:31 because I watch his YouTube clip and everything.
04:33 He's a fantastic player.
04:35 He cuts in his shoot, he crosses, he's so fast.
04:38 He can dribble anybody he wants to dribble.
04:40 So I watch so many of his clips
04:42 because he's so fantastic and he's good.
04:44 That's a player I always love to watch.
04:46 Although injury-kissing, but he's a fantastic player.
04:50 I don't like stress, but I love being on my own.
04:53 I love making friends also.
04:55 I love travelling.
04:56 That's the most important thing, to travel, to see cities,
04:58 to see something new.
04:59 I love to taste so many food, you know.
05:01 I love food.
05:02 That's the most important thing.
05:03 I love to taste food and taste so many foods.
05:06 I hope I will taste so many Italian restaurants
05:09 and taste their food.
05:10 That's the only thing I love to do.
05:12 I'm actually a cool guy, humble.
05:14 I'm hard-working.
05:15 That's the most important thing.
05:17 Hard-working, but inside the pitch, he's focused.
05:20 Outside the pitch, he just jokes around.
05:22 But inside the pitch, he's patient.
05:23 That's what makes you a leader.
05:26 Hi, Arizona.
05:30 I can't wait to see you guys in San Siro.
05:32 I can't wait to hear you people chant and chant my name also.
05:36 I can't wait to score so many goals in San Siro Stadium
05:39 and in the AC Milan shirt.
05:41 See you guys soon.
05:43 [BOOM]
