Dest: Serie A will help me become a more complete player

Sergiño Dest was presented today as a new player of AC Milan.

"I think I’m a versatile defender; I can play on both the left and right, he said. The position I’d ideally like to play in is full-back, but I have attacking qualities that allow me to play further forward if that is what the Coach wants. From now until the end of the season, I’ll do my best to prove myself. I’m 100% sure that I’m at the right place; I can see it from the facilities and staff. It’s up to me to give my all to do my best."

"I think that this league will help me become a more complete player. Serie A is well known for being demanding from a defensive perspective, and this is an area of my game that I need to improve. Ajax and Barça had a similar style which was more possession-based. At AC Milan, it’s quicker and more direct."

"The Coach plays with full-backs that get forward a lot, and this is an attitude that suits me perfectly. This season, I’ll have the opportunity to develop my attacking and defensive attributes."
