“If things at Juventus took a bad turn for me from the Coppa Italia final [which Milan lost 4-0]? Inside me, since that day, I had a feeling that yes, maybe I knew something was broken. And then they took Ronaldo. The decision to leave wasn’t mine, I gave everything for Juventus and won a lot of trophies. Then Cristiano arrived and the club wanted to make a leap in quality and they told me I couldn’t stay, and that they were trying to find a solution. The best solution was Milan.
We need to learn to score and then close out the match like them. At Juve, they’re war machines, they prepare you for that. Obviously they also feel pressure when their opponents score, but so far no-one has been able to take the Scudetto from them. How did Allegri leave me? He improved me in some aspects, how to help the team defend and how to attack the goal.
Feelings of revenge against Juventus? No, not one. I only feel affection because they treated me very well. My teammates and the fans treated me really well, but I never asked to leave. Basically, as everyone says, they kicked me out”
