"It's always nice to be called up to the national team. I wasn't called up, but that's okay; I need to get some minutes. Maybe he'll call up whoever he thinks is best. I'm working and will always work to reach my goal, which is the national team."
"Two spectacular guys, we know how important they are to this group, both on and off the pitch. I'm very happy for Rafa; he's been through a so-so period, maybe even the injury. Today, he helped us win; we know his qualities. Modric is a champion, let's hope he continues like this."
"He's a great coach. He wants to keep everyone on top of things; he knows how important everyone is."
Samuele Ricci joined AC Milan quickly after Tijjani Reijnders left, arriving as a player long admired by the club. Multiple summer signings left him behind a strong starting midfield trio, limiting his regular minutes despite leadership and regular starts at Torino. Ricci can develop by training with experienced players like Luka Modric and learning from their example. He remains motivated to earn more playing time and a national team call-up. Ricci praised Rafael Leao and Modric for their influence on and off the pitch and acknowledged manager Massimiliano Allegri's emphasis on keeping everyone prepared and competitive.
