Some quotes i came across while i continue to read the stories of his past.
De Zerbi on Locatelli:
"It was Locatelli who made the change from one day to the next, not me. He changed the way he trained, he behaved within the squad and he deserves all the credit for that,” -
Locatelli on Sassuolo and De Zerbi:
“Here I feel like a leading light, even if I struggled at the beginning. Coming here was the right choice. De Zerbi has shown me new concepts and at first, I didn’t understand. I didn’t accept being a substitute"
Locatelli on Milan:
"I too took my time telling myself that I had to do more, I was not at ease in training and game, and this created problems for me,”
“There was absolutely no being big-headed; parents and friends have always made me keep my feet on the ground. Not that I thought I was the strongest of all, but I was convinced that I had to play important games and score every game. I suffered because of this: first the headlines in the newspapers and then the criticisms, it was not easy".
“When there is an obstacle in front of you, you take three steps back, take a run and climb over it. I needed a change of air, to disconnect, the club [Milan] didn't believe in me, they made me understand.
“The first few months were difficult, I came with a wrong mindset. I took everything for granted, I didn't always train to the maximum, something mentally triggered me, I try not to make mistakes more especially as an attitude.
“The future? I would like to return to a great team, I am ambitious, I don't know how long it will take me. I hope to go there as soon as possible but I don't make mental trips, I just think about pushing in every training and in the present.”
