Diego Moreira on Kaká's No. 22: “I want to make my own name”
The Belgian winger credits his teammates for the 3-1 derby win over Inter and sidesteps questions on Koni De Winter's Belgium snub.
Diego Moreira, of AC Milan, spoke to RTL Info from the Belgium national team camp. The winger, who arrived from Strasbourg for around 65-70 million including bonuses, was decisive in the 3-1 derby win over Inter with a goal and two assists, according to TuttoMercatoWeb. He downplays his role: “I was decisive, but it's down to my teammates.” The derby, he says, will stay in his memory forever.
On wearing the No. 22 once worn by Kaká, he is clear: it's an honour, but he wants to build his own career and make a name for himself. He also admitted that the weeks at Milanello have been tough, with the infirmary full of injured players amid Europa League and league commitments.
On Koni De Winter, who turned down Van Bommel's Belgium call-up, he avoided the topic: it's a personal decision between the defender and the coach, and questions should be directed to him.
