Present at a press conference before playing his first Los Angeles derby against the Los Angeles Galaxy, the former AC Milan player spoke about his new championship and returned to a discussion he had with Zlatan Ibrahimovic before his arrival on the American continent.
” Yes, in MLS you’re going to have fun, it’s a good league for attackers, because it’s more open, there’s more space. And you can have more chances to score goals, ” he said at a press conference in front of journalists.
Before continuing: “We didn’t talk much about the LAFC-Galaxy rivalry. But yeah, he was happy for me because he really enjoyed his years in MLS, on the wrong side of LA, but still. No, kidding aside, he gave me some advice and told me I was going to have a good time. And I’m going to try to win the derby for the first time in history, three times in a row, I was told. We’re hoping to set that record, beat them and be the team that wins three derbies in a row.”
