Sergino Dest on his loan spell with AC Milan 🗣️

“I loved it but just wasn’t ready. It was a really big lesson. If I go to another place, I have to be mentally ready. I couldn’t communicate with him [Stefano Pioli]. He speaks only Italian, so we had to have an interpreter. I didn’t play much and being on loan, I wasn’t so motivated to learn Italian. I began to think I wouldn’t be there that long. Mentally, I wasn’t ready. I was too much in my head about Barca and I didn’t fully appreciate what a big club Milan is. I hadn’t left Barca the right way and I felt hurt. Milan would have been a perfect club. It’s unfortunate how it happened. I was 21. I didn’t even understand why I wasn’t playing at the time. I thought they’d brought me on loan to play. I’ve felt everything at the highest level and I know what to do to get back there.”
