"It is true that it has been a busy year," the young goalkeeper told La Stampa. "But I try to keep my feet on the ground and I will not have it said that I have a big head.

"There are so many youngsters at Milan now, the more experienced colleagues support us and in the end, apart from school which is a little bit harder and the fact I have a a girlfriend, everything is the same as before.

"I am the most crazy one in the team. On the team bus for example I am always at the front. Then we play Neapolitan music, do you know the songs of Tony Colombo?

"[Manuel Locatelli and two of my friends [Alessandro] Guarnone and [Alessandro] Plizzari don’t protest any more, they look up with a dejected gaze and put their headphones on.

"On the pitch however I have always been quiet, but for the first time at the beginning of the season I felt a little pressure. I heard it said that there was a need to prove myself."
