00:00 Good morning everyone, this is the press conference of Yunus Musa. Let's start with questions from Mauro Suma for Milan TV.
00:08 Thank you Nicola, good morning Yunus.
00:11 In Valencia you were coached by Rino Gattuso, who was an absolute glory here, and also by Gigi Riccio, who worked with him when Rino coached Milan.
00:21 Did you have the chance to exchange some jokes during that time? Did Rino and Gigi tell you something about Milan, about his history, about his culture?
00:32 Yes, of course. Gattuso used to tell me stories about what happened here at Milan, when he played and he gave me some advice as a midfielder.
00:43 And then, after the World Cup, I think he made a joke about me not being there next year, but I would be in Milan instead.
00:55 And yes, in the end it happened.
00:58 At the moment of your presentation, the fans were impressed by your Italian, by the way you were dressed, very elegant in the classical sense of the word.
01:12 Was it also a way of respecting the club you were playing for, to convey your satisfaction, your joy, to be able to come to Milan?
01:22 No, of course, I'm very happy to be here. I can't wait to play, to help my teammates, to be a player for Milan. I'm very happy.
01:37 You've played all over the world, from London to the United States, Italy, Spain, and you've played a bit everywhere, even with Gattuso you played as a right-back. Tell us more about what kind of player you are.
01:52 Many have also brought you together with players from the past, for example recently with Frenkensie, but someone says you're even more offensive. What kind of player are you?
02:01 I think I'm a player who likes to do a bit of everything in midfield. I like to come down, I like to dribble and bring the ball forward, to be aggressive when I'm defending.
02:19 I think I have the power to do a bit of everything when I'm in front of the ball.
02:33 My second and last question is about the 'smile' game between you and Ciuquenzi. Who wins?
02:39 If you've heard anyone talk about my past, Castellet, or if Gattuso called you after the official announcement, did you hear anything?
02:47 He said it was a game between me and Ciucu.
02:50 The smiles!
02:51 The smiles! I don't know, he smiles a lot too. It's great to have someone like him in the dressing room. I haven't spoken to Gattuso yet, but now that he's told me I'll have to call him.
03:10 Francesco Rocchi, come on.
03:12 Hi Younus, you're only 21 years old, but you've had a great career. From Giorgione to Castelfranco, Veneto, through to the English national team, Arsenal and Valencia, and now to Milan.
03:24 From Giorgione to Milan, would you have ever said that?
03:28 No, I would never have said that. When you say it like that, it's a great story. I've done so many tours around the world, and then I came back to Italy to play for Milan. It's a great story and I'm very happy.
03:47 Let's go to the back, Sport Italia, Viscogliosi.
03:50 Hi Younus, welcome. What does it mean for you to come to a dressing room with so many new faces? Do you feel the energy that Stefano Pioli has talked about and what relationship are you building with the coach?
04:01 Yes, as you said, it's a dressing room full of players with a lot of talent who have done a lot of things in football. It's a privilege to work with them every day.
04:19 I want to take this opportunity to improve as a player, to learn from them. I want to be a better player and I want to get to the top. I'm ready to work every day to get to this.
04:37 Luca Bianchini, Zette dello Sport.
04:39 Hi Younus, can you tell us a little bit about your Italian childhood?
04:55 My Italian childhood was very beautiful. I have a lot of good memories from when I was a kid. I used to go to football tournaments, we even played in Futsal tournaments.
05:12 We did very well. In the summer I was always playing football with my older brother and his friends. My mum had a shop near the pitch so when we were hungry we would go to the shop to get a snack and then we would go back to play.
05:31 It was beautiful in Italy. We could go out to the streets and my parents were not worried. It was very nice.
05:44 Stefano Scacchi, La Stampa.
05:46 You grew up in Italy. Did it help you to accept the offer from Milan?
06:08 It was a decision that helped me because I lived here before. I knew I could come here and I didn't have to start with a new language or a new country. I could immediately settle in and be comfortable.
06:32 It helped me a lot. My brother has been watching Milan since he was a kid. He likes Milan a lot. We watch the matches together and I know a lot about Milan.
06:52 Lucca Talotta.
06:53 Who impressed you the most in the first days at Milan?
07:09 All the top players. I have been watching them on TV for a couple of years now. It is a privilege to play with them. I am very happy to play with them and learn from them.
07:36 Claudio Pogliaghi, Milan News.
07:40 It is a Milan that has changed a lot in this transfer window, especially in midfield. Have you already talked to Pioli?
07:52 I am talking to the coach now. He is teaching me how to play. I want to learn as quickly as possible to understand how to play and help the team when I have the chance to play. I want to be able to join the team as soon as possible. The coach is helping me a lot.
08:18 Massimo Canta.
08:20 What were your emotions when you joined the team?
08:32 I am very happy to be here. I am very happy to be able to help the club to be at this level. I am very happy to be here. I am very happy to be able to help the club to be at this level.
09:00 I am very happy to be able to help the club to be at this level.
09:08 Luca Bianchini.
09:10 The coach is asking you to play in midfield. Can you tell us about this?
09:33 The coach is asking me to play in midfield. He is explaining me the positions, how to get into the area, things that help the team and help us to play in our system.
09:55 Pepe Di Stefano.
09:57 Your brother was a fan of Milan. Do you have a player in your mind?
10:11 I like to watch his videos. He is a reference for me.
10:39 I like to watch his videos. He is a reference for me.
10:46 You are young but you have played in the World Cup. You have a lot of room for improvement.
11:10 What do you think about the new coach?
11:17 I am very happy to be here. I am very happy to be here.
11:27 I am very happy to be here. I am very happy to be here.
