The styles of Serie A and the Premier League are very different, but I adapted well to the team and should be awarded It's always easier when I have to play regularly. The team accepted me and gave me warmth. We are currently leading the table and we have to work hard to maintain our advantage."

About teammate Sommer
"We have great cooperation now, and our joint activities have increased after playing for the same club. We are very close to each other, only a few minutes' walk away, and we often communicate with each other about the national team's affairs. He always cares about the current situation of his teammates and conveys greetings, but I think he is not considering returning to the national team for the time being and is enjoying his current free time."

About hosting overseas league matches
"I am opposed to this move. The existing schedule is already dense enough, and I don’t know where the specific location will be, but Serie A is indeed discussing moving AC Milan’s match against Como to Australia. This means a long journey and severe jet lag. Unfortunately, the decision-making power is not in the hands of the players."
