| A few days ago Olivier answered a few questions in a very interesting interview with La Gazzetta. 🗣️

1️⃣ - His leadership role

"I don't set myself any barriers when it comes to goals! If I can score 20 goals, I will. I'd also like to reach double figures for assists."

2️⃣ - His faith

"I don't find it difficult or embarrassing to be a witness to God's love. I always try to be joyful, peaceful and loving. I pray for well-being and for my 'enemies'".

"Mike and I are both believers and this victory, after what happened [racist shouting at Maignan during the match against Udinese], was an answer from heaven. I pray for my gratitude, I thank God because my family and I are doing well. I feel lucky to know Jesus and his life."

3️⃣ - Zlatan

"Zlatan always gives me advice. He talks to me before and during the match, as well as at half-time. He knows that this is a young group that needs experience, players who speak out and set an example. Zlatan wants me to be more of a leader.

"Ibra is the link between RedBird and the team, he connects us to the management without encroaching on Pioli's work. He's there to help, especially with the mental approach and motivation. He talks to us and helps us."

4️⃣ - His team-mates

"As a team-mate, I can say that someone like Leao is decisive even when he doesn't score. These are aspects that may not immediately attract attention, but they count in a team."

"There are a lot of expectations of him. Rafa knows that he has to be even more demanding of himself. We know he can do more. He can reach a very high level. He needs continuity. And a few more goals."

"Mike is fine and strong. What happened in Udine is behind us, but it can't happen in life like it did on the football pitch. We all have to set a good example.

5️⃣ - The club

"If a new young player arrived in attack this summer, it wouldn't be a problem at all, because I'm not afraid of competition. For me, that has always been an incentive to do even more, I need that."

"Milan are one of the teams who can win the Europa League. We're both outsiders and favourites. It's a trophy we want to try and win because it's not in the club's trophy cabinet."

6️⃣ - His future

"I don't yet know what will happen in the future. But I do know that I feel good here and that I've done some great things in Milan. It's a beautiful love story between the two of us."

"It's not just MLS that's interested in me. At the end of the season, other opportunities will open up and I'll make my decision. As a footballer and as a family man.
