00:00David Odogo, welcome to AC Milan. I see pure happiness in your eyes. How does it feel to be here?
00:16Oh, it feels unbelievable. It's such a big day for me and for me and my family. I'm so thankful
00:22that I can sign for such a big club. And yeah, I want to give all the glory to God. With him,
00:28nothing of this would be possible and I'm just so happy, so thankful and so proud that I'm at this club.
00:34Can you tell us how did you react when you got to know that AC Milan was interested in you?
00:40Yesterday, like it was very fast everything on the last day and it was just like unbelievable. Like,
00:47I still cannot realize it really what happened in this last 24 hours. It was very, very much things,
00:54but yes, it was an amazing feeling. Like, I'm just so thankful that I can be here and happy,
01:00yeah, to be at this club. When I now realize that I'm at this club and can play with players like Modric
01:07for example, I would never, one year ago, I would never imagine that I am now on the same team with
01:12him. So this is of course a guy I will look up to. I'm looking up to since I'm young also, but in total,
01:19the team is full of top, top players and big players. So I can't wait to learn from them also a lot
01:26because I'm still young. I want to improve my skills and get better and I will have the best
01:32opportunities here to learn from these top players. How would you describe yourself? Like, you know,
01:37the skills you have on the pitch and what you want to improve and what are your strengths also?
01:42I want to keep clean sheets. I want to protect our goal and I'm aggressive in my duals 1v1. I'm strong
01:49in defending 1v1, all in duals, all in total. And yeah, I want to improve my game physically and also
01:57on the ball. I want to get better, of course, but I also want to improve my strength already. So get
02:03more better and heading or defensive work. Let's talk a little bit about idols. Do you have a role
02:10model you look up to and maybe also from the AC Milan world? Back in the days also now at AC Milan
02:18we're always legends like Nesta, Maldini, Varesi. I always look up to the best players on my position.
02:25I don't have a specific idol. So at the moment also like Van Dijk and I always look up to the best and
02:31want to be also one of the best at one time. Right behind you, we're seeing your new AC Milan
02:37jersey with that number, the 27. When you look at that jersey, what's the first thing that comes to
02:43your mind? When I look at it, it looks very nice, it's huge. It looks nice, the number. So I don't
02:49have a really particular reason for the number, but yeah, I think it looks nice. I was checking on the
02:56way here, which numbers are free or which numbers would look nice. And yeah, I think I took a good
03:03choice. I like the jersey, like the construction of the jersey. So I like the number. I like just
03:0824,000 numbers. I think it's good.
03:10And your new home will be San Siro. How it will be to play there for you?
03:16It would be massive, it would be very massive. I wasn't there yet, but I will not be soon there.
03:22But yeah, I see a lot of matches there, like on the TV. I know about the history of the stadium. I know
03:30the big games that I played was played there or the derbies, for example. And yeah, it's unbelievable
03:37that to imagine that I will play there. It's a big, also a big responsibility. But I want to work
03:44hard. I want to get better and I want to be a top player there and play a lot of games in the stadium.
03:49David, thanks a lot for this first interview as an AC Milan player. The last thing I ask you is
03:55looking into that camera to leave a message to your new fans. Ciao AC Milan fans, I'm David Dogu.
