MILAN – Nigel De Jong is currently participating in an AC Milan Hangout on the club’s official Google+ account talking with fans from all over the world.
Responding to a question from New York, the player said: “Here at Milan, it’s much different to Ajax where I grew up as a player. In Italy, I’ve had to focus on defending. Here I can’t take the ball and go on the attack, I have to help the team by protecting the defense."Answering a question from Tokyo on Honda, De Jong said: “I met him about two weeks ago in a friendly between Holland and Japan and I have to say he’s a strong player. He has a great left foot and I think he’ll do well with Milan. He’ll be welcome here. He can score and he’ll be important for us.”
