MILAN – Ignazio Abate also spoke during the press conference in Shenzhen. He said:

“I have been lucky enough to extend my contract with Milan, my intention is to end my career at Milan, although you never know in football. My aim is to finish here where I grew up. My wife is from Puglia so we got married near where she is from. My children will decide what is best for them, if they become footballers then I will be excited but they are free to choose their own path. Physically I am feeling better, yesterday I started running and I am following a program. We will see day by day. I hope I will be able to play a few minutes against Real Madrid.”
