00:00Hi everyone, we're here to introduce you to Milan's new striker, Santiago Giménez.
00:09We've been following this player for a long time, even this summer.
00:17We talked a bit about whether there was a possibility or not, but there wasn't.
00:24We started with a different direction, but today he's here and that's the most important thing.
00:32We're very happy and I'd like to introduce you to Santiago Giménez.
00:39He'll introduce himself, his qualities and everything.
00:43If I talk, people say I put too much pressure on my players.
00:47So I'll let him do it. Thank you.
00:50Let's start with the questions.
00:52Prego Mauro, for Milan.
00:53Nicola, good morning Zlatan, good morning Santi.
00:56Zlatan, the reinforcement market that you've created with the club
01:06is a market from which you expect an important turn in the season for Milan.
01:13Yesterday was a very intense day, but always under control.
01:18I have to thank the lawyer, the secretariat and everyone involved,
01:25because they did a great job with so many situations,
01:30but in the end we managed to do everything we wanted.
01:35It's simple, we're not satisfied and we're happy with the league situation.
01:42We've reinforced the team, five out and five in.
01:48Every position we've come out of has played a role.
01:55We're satisfied and this will be the team that will change the situation.
02:07Thank you Zlatan. Santi, good morning.
02:09I wanted to ask you about the emotions you felt
02:13coming from Rotterdam, Feyenoord, Milan.
02:17It was a step you took with your family by your side.
02:21What are your dreams and aspirations at the moment?
02:28Thank you very much.
02:31One of my main dreams when I was a kid was to play in Europe
02:36and now I've realised it.
02:38Now that I'm in Europe, I wanted to play in the biggest clubs in Europe
02:44and I'm doing it.
02:45Now my main motivation and dream is to leave my mark on this important team.
02:55Good morning Santiago and welcome to Milan.
02:57I'd like to know how you're doing after your injury.
03:03You trained in a different way yesterday.
03:06Are you ready to play Roma in Dibra?
03:10Five out and five in, as we spoke about earlier.
03:15Has Milan only reduced the gap between who's ahead in the table
03:19because they're behind?
03:20Or do you think they've completely zeroed it out
03:24with the recent changes?
03:32First question.
03:33Yes, I had a minor injury in the last game
03:38but I'm ready now.
03:44No, we've reduced the gap in quality
03:47and we've strengthened the team.
03:51We believe this will help the team move forward.
03:58If we have a minor gap, we'll see.
04:02That's all we can say.
04:04But it's what we believe in and what we've done
04:07through talking to the coach.
04:10I think the team has improved a lot.
04:14Luca Bianchini, La Gazzetta dello Sport.
04:17Hi everyone.
04:18I have a question for Zlatan.
04:21Zlatan, I'd like to ask you a personal question.
04:24It was your first game as a big player
04:27with Fornali-Montcadà .
04:29Does that mean anything to you?
04:31Have you realised that this is 100% your mission for Milan?
04:36What's your personal impression of the two days
04:39you've spent together as the big sporting director?
04:43First of all, I'm not a sporting director.
04:46It was intense.
04:48It was very interesting because there were so many moves.
04:52From one situation to another.
04:54Then you have a countdown that goes down.
04:58Then you have to do everything before this countdown.
05:04But everything we did was more or less what we were looking for.
05:10Then the situation opens up.
05:13It's very dynamic.
05:15I have colleagues who are doing a great job.
05:19They're doing a good job.
05:22Everything we do, we do as a team.
05:26In the end, the results will speak for themselves.
05:31But it was very interesting.
05:35Santiago, I'd like to ask you a question.
05:38We've seen this deal from Italy.
05:40Can you tell us how you experienced it?
05:43Maybe with something we don't know.
05:45Maybe a phone call from Consecau
05:47who told you what he wants from you,
05:49how he wants you to play,
05:51or the deal with Feyenoord, which was complicated.
05:57Yes, thank you.
05:59First of all,
06:01even though they were following me from the last market,
06:06the only thing I do as a player is try to focus on the game.
06:11So in this part, my family, the group behind me,
06:15certainly made it possible.
06:18I'm a man of faith.
06:20I try to play and leave everything in God's hands.
06:23And that's what happened.
06:25We were able to take this important step.
06:29Carlos Passerini.
06:31A question for each of you.
06:33I'll start with Zlatan.
06:35Zlatan, I simply want to ask you
06:37what hasn't worked in these six months
06:40and what do you think you've fixed with this revolution?
06:45Because this is a revolution.
06:48In my opinion, there was a lack of continuity.
06:51Because when things are going well,
06:55you can't keep up with the pace of victory,
07:01of winning games.
07:03Then when you win the game,
07:05there's fluidity, there's rhythm.
07:08And always when we start,
07:10there's always a block that comes.
07:12And then you have to...
07:14How do you say?
07:15You have to start, not from scratch,
07:17but you have to start from a new continuity.
07:22That's what was missing.
07:24We had high moments, low moments.
07:28Up until now, it's only us who have a trophy.
07:33I think if it had gone better...
07:36Not bad, in my opinion.
07:38But we fight and we continue to work.
07:41Milan plays for results.
07:43Milan plays to win.
07:45And when you win, you win trophies.
07:49Santi, welcome.
07:52I wanted to ask you,
07:54what's your feeling from the outside?
07:57From what you've seen,
07:58I imagine you've seen the Milan games,
08:00the situation.
08:01What idea did you get from the outside?
08:03And what do you think you can give?
08:05I also ask you one thing,
08:06how many goals do you think you can score
08:08from here at the end of the year?
08:13What I can promise you
08:16is that I'll do everything I can on the pitch.
08:20I don't believe in individualism,
08:22I believe in team play.
08:24I think we have a great team here,
08:27a competitive team,
08:29which can be competitive in various ways.
08:31We can win, we can win a lot.
08:33On a personal level,
08:35I can't promise you a certain number of goals,
08:38but I'll definitely do my best for this club on the pitch.
08:44Yes, one more question for Zlatan.
08:46Zlatan, hello.
08:47I'd like to ask you if there was a moment
08:49of reflection from all of you,
08:52from the management,
08:53to say, let's start with this great restyling,
08:56because what we've seen
08:58is not something usual.
09:00It's a real change,
09:02changing five.
09:03So what was the moment when you said,
09:05we have to do this,
09:06we have to turn the page from technical guidance
09:09to five new signings?
09:13At the start of the season,
09:14when we started,
09:15we believed in what we had done.
09:18Then, the situation is very dynamic,
09:21it depends on the results, of course.
09:25As you have seen,
09:26with all the things that happened yesterday,
09:29with Santiago a few days earlier,
09:31we are not satisfied.
09:33We are not satisfied with the situation.
09:36So we tried to change,
09:39to bring something new in,
09:41not with a move,
09:43but with more than a move,
09:46to bring even more.
09:48Because, as I said before,
09:51if you don't bring results,
09:53we try to bring results.
09:56This is the situation.
09:59It's all there.
10:00We were not satisfied,
10:01we are not happy,
10:04and we already have a trophy,
10:06and we are still not satisfied.
10:08We want even more,
10:10because we are hungry
10:12to do more.
10:15Andrea Sereni, La Repubblica.
10:17Hi Zlatan, hi Santiago, welcome.
10:19A question for you, Zlatan.
10:21I would start with you,
10:23I wanted to ask you,
10:24you have made five important acquisitions,
10:27practically all closed in the last week,
10:30some in the last few days.
10:32Is there a reason why
10:36you have chosen to operate
10:38at the end of the market?
10:41Were there situations
10:43that led you to make these choices?
10:47Maybe complications,
10:49or maybe Mr. Concecao's requests
10:51that led you to change
10:55part of the team
10:56in the last days of the market?
10:59Every case has its situation.
11:02When you make a deal,
11:05there are three parts that count.
11:07Milan, the player,
11:09the coach and the team.
11:11All three have to agree
11:14to make it happen.
11:18As I said, everyone has their own situation.
11:21One was longer,
11:23the negotiation,
11:24the other was faster.
11:27Everyone has their own situation.
11:30But in the end,
11:32I always got in touch with the coach.
11:39To be on the same page.
11:42But every case has its situation.
11:44The last one was Suatil,
11:47who, a minute and a half
11:50before it closed,
11:52got totally stressed out.
11:55But,
11:56that's why I thanked the lawyer
11:58and the whole secretariat,
12:00because those people work from behind
12:02and nobody talks about them.
12:04Instead, it's all,
12:06not all,
12:07but credit to them.
12:09They're doing a great job.
12:11I'm young,
12:13I like what I do,
12:15I'm hungry,
12:16I want to do it
12:18and I do it.
12:20That's how it has to be.
12:23Santiago,
12:24a quick question for you.
12:26What do you think is your best quality?
12:29If you think you have a weakness
12:32that you want to work on,
12:34or if there's a striker you're inspired by?
12:41Thank you for what you said at the start.
12:46A player,
12:47from the start to the end,
12:49a player I follow a lot,
12:51not just because he's here,
12:53but also because of his story,
12:55it's Zlatan.
12:56Really,
12:57everything he said before,
12:59on the mic,
13:00you could see it on the pitch.
13:02I feel this responsibility.
13:04Being a Milan player
13:06is wonderful for me.
13:08One of my characteristics
13:10is my passion,
13:12my power.
13:13Those are my strengths.
13:15Obviously,
13:16I have to work on the little details,
13:18work on everything,
13:20in the various moments of the game,
13:22but those are things we'll do
13:24as long as I'm here.
13:26I'll work hard to be up to the task
13:28and to give our fans their best.
13:33Good morning, Santiago.
13:35First of all,
13:36we all know the correct pronunciation
13:38of your last name.
13:41Jiménez.
13:42Perfect.
13:43I wanted to ask you this.
13:45Welcome, first of all.
13:47We know that moving to January
13:49is never easy.
13:51Feyenoord is an important club in Holland.
13:54How difficult was it
13:56to ask and convince Feyenoord
13:58to let you leave in the middle of the season?
14:01Why did you have to push them
14:03to let you come to Milan?
14:09Well, I think
14:11Zlatan should answer this
14:13and so should my lawyers
14:15and my representatives.
14:17They were the ones
14:19in charge of the negotiations.
14:21They had to push the club.
14:23The only thing I could do
14:25was play and leave everything
14:27in God's hands.
14:28In the end,
14:29we were successful
14:31because it was God's will.
14:33As players,
14:34we don't really get involved
14:36in the negotiations
14:38or in the arguments.
14:40We focus on playing and working
14:42and we leave the rest
14:44in the hands of the negotiators
14:46and the contracts.
14:49A question for Santiago Jiménez
14:51and one for Zlatan.
14:53What is the meaning
14:55of the number 7 shirt?
14:57Is there a special meaning
14:59behind this number?
15:01Were you afraid
15:03that the deal
15:05wouldn't go through
15:07as it did in the summer
15:09when Milan already had
15:11your sign in the summer?
15:13And Zlatan Ibrahimović,
15:15what is behind
15:17Ben Asser's goodbye?
15:19Are there any voices,
15:21a break-up with the coach
15:23in the last day?
15:30Well,
15:31about Milan's proposal
15:33for this summer,
15:35for me, Milan has always
15:37been a dream,
15:39a goal that I wanted
15:41to reach, to be here.
15:43As I said,
15:45I only focus
15:47on working and playing
15:49because I knew the doors
15:51were still open.
15:53This was a great motivation
15:55to give my best.
15:57The other question,
15:59how was it?
16:01There are many meanings
16:03behind the number 7.
16:05It was a number available
16:07and a number by Shevchenko.
16:09This was a great motivation for me.
16:11Another meaning
16:13is that in the Bible
16:157 is the perfect number.
16:17I had no doubt
16:19in taking this number.
16:23It was simple.
16:25He asked for a new adventure.
16:27He was very important
16:29for Milan. He won two trophies.
16:31Then he was unlucky
16:33with an injury.
16:35He was out for a while.
16:37Then he came back
16:39in January,
16:41before the Super Cup,
16:43when he came back.
16:45Then he tried to come back
16:47but he was the one
16:49looking for a new adventure.
16:53If you come
16:55and you want to look
16:57for something new
16:59or you have another idea
17:01in your head,
17:03you shouldn't be here.
17:05If you have something in mind,
17:07the team is already out.
17:09We helped him
17:11to find the best solution
17:13for him and for us.
17:15It was simple.
17:17Hi Santi, welcome.
17:19Hi Santi, welcome.
17:21You celebrated against Bayern
17:23and said,
17:25I'll stay here.
17:27The fans in Milan were scared.
17:29What did you want to say?
17:31The fans were a bit disoriented
17:33in those days.
17:35If you could answer
17:37to the fans
17:39about Ibra,
17:41what did you say
17:43yesterday?
17:45That's a message
17:47for us, right?
17:51No, if you see
17:53the games before,
17:55it was something I did
17:57every time I scored.
17:59To say that we are here,
18:01that this is the Fire North.
18:03That's why
18:05I celebrated like that.
18:07But on a media level
18:09there was a bit of a scandal.
18:11But I usually do that when I score.
18:13The fans,
18:15I know,
18:17the last Scudetto I won
18:19was thanks to the fans.
18:21This team with the fans
18:23is twice as strong
18:25and has twice as much strength.
18:27Because
18:29they are important
18:31for everyone.
18:33There is a big difference
18:35when there is silence,
18:37when there is noise.
18:39You can see on the pitch
18:41that the team reaches 2.0
18:43with the fans.
18:45That's why they are very important.
18:47For other reasons
18:49there are certain things
18:51that I can't
18:53control.
18:55But we are working,
18:57we are doing everything
18:59to bring results.
19:01As I said,
19:03with the fans
19:05this team is much stronger.
19:07Just look at the last Scudetto
19:09we won.
19:11It was a team
19:13that wasn't even top 4
19:15with everyone.
19:17Then we won
19:19thanks to the fans.
19:21That's why the players
19:23are very important for them.
19:25Because when you have
19:27this effect from the fans
19:29you get up
19:31automatically.
19:33That's all.
19:41Welcome back, Santi.
19:43It's always nice
19:45that there are people
19:47from our continent,
19:49players here.
19:51A quick question for you.
19:53What did you think
19:55about the atmosphere?
19:57What did the fans
19:59and Milan fans say?
20:07What did you see?
20:09What are the most important
20:11things that you saw
20:13in Santi?
20:15What do you think
20:17he can bring to the team?
20:19What can you say
20:21to the fans
20:23in Mexico?
20:25What team does
20:27Santi Jimenez find?
20:29What team is
20:31Milan today?
20:33For me,
20:35Milan is
20:37like a
20:39tailor-made dress.
20:41There is a lot of passion,
20:43strength, power,
20:45hunger for victory.
20:47It's a club
20:49with an important spirit.
20:51I identify with
20:53these values.
20:55I have this spirit,
20:57this desire to win.
20:59This club
21:01is tailor-made for me.
21:03I will do everything
21:05to leave my mark here.
21:07Jimenez
21:09is a player with great quality.
21:11He is hungry
21:13to score.
21:15I remember
21:17Camarda.
21:19He is hungry
21:21to score.
21:23You either have it or you don't.
21:25He can score
21:27with his head,
21:29in the air.
21:31I think his quality
21:33is in the air.
21:35He helps the team, he sacrifices,
21:37he assists.
21:39That's what we were looking for.
21:41I don't understand
21:43the last question.
21:45What do you think
21:47Milan is like today?
21:49How is Milan
21:51today?
21:53He will find
21:55a very strong Milan.
21:57He will play with
21:59Leao, Pulisic, Rendez,
22:01Fofana,
22:03with Walker,
22:05with many players
22:07who can assist.
22:09Don't worry.
22:13Let's go to TNT Mexico.
22:15Yes, Ignacio Miguelez.
22:17Mike Magnone can assist.
22:21Back here.
22:23Yes, I'm back here.
22:25I'm Mike Miguelez
22:27from TNT Sport.
22:29I wanted to ask you
22:31about Santi.
22:33As I said before,
22:35I wanted to know
22:37your opinion about
22:39Santi's quality.
22:41You made a difference,
22:43you made history in football.
22:45Do you see Santi
22:47as a player
22:49who can
22:51leave a mark
22:53in football in general
22:55and in Milan?
22:57That's what we want.
22:59He's here to
23:01bring results.
23:03We hope
23:05he will leave
23:07a memory,
23:09a positive memory.
23:11We will help him
23:13in every way
23:15to achieve this success.
23:17I think
23:19he's in good hands
23:21to achieve this success.
23:23Then,
23:25step by step,
23:27once he's here,
23:29we will help him
23:31and put him in the best condition
23:33we can.
23:35It also depends on the player.
23:37What he wants,
23:39what goals he has,
23:41what he's looking for.
23:43But everything
23:45around him
23:47is our problem.
23:49We want him to play,
23:51stay fit and bring results.
23:55Nicola Miri, TV4 Svezia.
24:01You've already asked
24:03the question I wanted to ask.
24:05Welcome.
24:09We've already spoken to the fans.
24:11It's been a difficult month.
24:13You've always said
24:15you're used
24:17to being criticised.
24:19I'd like to know
24:21if this affects you
24:23in another way.
24:25You're a Milan fan
24:27and you've always said
24:29you love this club.
24:31How do you feel
24:33hearing all this noise?
24:35What do you think
24:37about the situation?
24:39As I said before,
24:41we're a fan club.
24:43We're much stronger
24:45than the fans.
24:47Last time I said
24:49I won was thanks to the fans.
24:51In my case,
24:53I'm focused
24:55and I'm working
24:57to bring results.
24:59If you ask me as a footballer,
25:03I used to love
25:05being hated.
25:07For me,
25:09you're talking to the wrong person.
25:11I don't need
25:13around 360 degrees
25:15to get carried away.
25:17When I'm angry,
25:19it shows.
25:27I'm here for Zlatan
25:29and one for Satin.
25:31First for Zlatan,
25:33after the Champions League
25:35play-off draw,
25:37it was important
25:39to have Santi.
25:41You'll play against
25:43Firenor.
25:45We were worried
25:47Santi would score
25:49at AC Milan.
25:51Santi, how do you feel
25:53about your first match
25:55against Firenor
25:57in the last two and a half years?
25:59I wish you the best.
26:03It was better to win
26:05against Dinamo Zagreb
26:07so we wouldn't play
26:09and it was a positive result for us.
26:11It's fate.
26:13When you bring a player
26:15from a club,
26:17you have to play against that club.
26:19It happened to me a couple of times.
26:21I lost a couple of times
26:23and I won a couple of times.
26:25This time we'll win
26:27and this time
26:29Jiménez will play
26:31in Rotterdam
26:33with AC Milan's jersey
26:35and he'll score.
26:37It'll be a beautiful moment
26:39to go back to Rotterdam
26:41as Zlatan said.
26:43It's football.
26:45It happens.
26:47It'll be a very special
26:49meeting for the fans
26:51and for the players
26:53and for the staff
26:55because they were my family
26:57and will always be.
26:59It'll be a very special evening.
27:08Good morning, Santiago.
27:10My question is about Ibra.
27:12You have a great relationship
27:14with Adriano Gagliani
27:16who loves to score.
27:18Did Ibra's days
27:20and hours come about
27:22after yesterday?
27:24Sorry?
27:26Did Ibra's days
27:28and hours come about
27:30like Adriano Gagliani's
27:32days and hours?
27:34What?
27:36I don't understand.
27:38Adriano Gagliani
27:40loved to score
27:42in the last days.
27:44No.
27:46As I said before,
27:48it's very dynamic.
27:50Everything happens at the end
27:52and then it's a negotiation.
27:54Everyone moves forward
27:56to get other results.
27:58It's been interesting.
28:02It's a new experience.
28:04I worked with number one,
28:06Mino Raiola.
28:08I understood
28:10how strong
28:12Mino was
28:14compared to everyone else.
28:16It wasn't an offence
28:18and I say it with respect.
28:20That's all.
28:22Please, Daniele Lungo.
28:24My question is for Santiago.
28:26Welcome to Milan.
28:28When did you hear
28:30about your chance at Milan?
28:32There are a lot of fans
28:34from Milan
28:36and in general
28:38they're very happy.
28:40There's not a big tradition
28:42of Milan fans in Italy.
28:44You're the second in the history
28:46of Milan.
28:48How were your first days
28:50in Milan?
28:52Did you talk to your teammates?
28:54What was your impression?
28:56Yes,
28:58every player
29:00has the responsibility
29:02to carry on
29:04his national flag
29:06on the pitch.
29:08Now it's my turn
29:10to carry the Mexican flag
29:12to Milan.
29:14It's a great responsibility.
29:16It's a great feeling
29:18to represent all of Mexico
29:20in this important club
29:22and leave a mark.
29:24We're a very united country
29:26in Mexico
29:28and we always want the best
29:30for each other.
29:32Today,
29:34when I'll be in Milan
29:36I won't be alone.
29:38I'll have all of Mexico
29:40supporting me
29:42and I'm very proud
29:44of that.
29:46The last question
29:48is for Carlo Pelegati.
29:50It's a very dry question.
29:52Can you become stronger
29:54if a Mexican idol
29:56scored a goal
29:58against Panama
30:00in the 1988 World Cup?
30:02Can you become
30:04a better idol
30:06than Hugo Sanchez?
30:10I'm not here
30:12to compare myself
30:14to other players.
30:16I'm here to follow my path
30:18and leave my mark.
30:20I'll try to do
30:22what I want
30:24with humility and faith
30:26and work hard
30:28as I've always done.
30:30I'll try to
30:32follow my path
30:34and not compare myself
30:36to other players.
30:38I'm Santiago Jimenez
30:40and I'll try to make my own history.
