“Of course the Coach also transmits the grit and determination he is famous for, so all these things help you find your self-confidence game by game.

“All players have some periods of difficulty during their careers. I had this period, due to injuries and then other reasons, that made me lose confidence.

“I didn’t let my head drop, so I carried on working every day with determination both on and off the field to rediscover my form and belief in my abilities. That is what I recaptured towards the end of the season.

“Every day we all give 120 per cent, but at the end of the day what really matters is the team, so those on the bench give their all too in order to reach our final objective."

De Sciglio was also asked about Milan President Silvio Berlusconi's upcoming heart surgery.

"I wish him a speedy recovery, it sounds pretty delicate. Will it affect the Milan sale talks? That is not something I am concerned with."
