The former Chievo defender is revelling in his dream of playing at the San Siro, and has vowed to work hard to make a huge impact at the Giuseppe Meazza outfit.
Acerbi has huge boots to fill in at Milan, as the club has had a history of great defenders in their ranks. From the likes of the legendary http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903; the Rossoneri have commanded Europe with an exceptional mix of attack and defence.
The defender who stands at over 6 foot impressed during the second half of last season, as he produced some attention grabbing displays in the Chievo shirt. Acerbi has talked about his switch to the Rossoneri outfit as a dream and he is keen to repay the faith kept in him by the management of the San Siro outfit.
The defender was talking to the Gazzetta dello Sport and he went on to state his willingness to exceed expectations at the club and prove that he had requisite skills to be a mainstay in the Rossoneri defence.
During the interview, the defender went on to state:
"I’m very happy to be here and I hope to prove my worth. I have a lot of desire to start playing and prove that I’m Milan quality. My dream has always been to play for Milan as I'm a Milanista.”
The defender went on to comment that talks about a possible transfer were underway, but he also went on to state that talking about a possible switch and signing on with an outfit are two separate things; as negotiations can break down.
He further remarked:
"I knew about the negotiations with Milan at the end of the season, but there’s a big difference between negotiating and signing."
Milan would be hoping that Francesco Acerbi proves himself at the club and leads the season without suffering from any major injuries. Milan have lost http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Nesta-c4735 and Thiago Silva this season, and the massive void in quality left by these departures might come back to haunt them in the upcoming campaign.
