Joining Milan, Krunic wants to be De Bruyne

DBasia.news –  AC Milan’s new midfielder, Rade Krunic, feels he has the same ability as Manchester City star, Kevin de Bruyne.

“I am a modern midfielder. I did both phases of the game. I am a box to box midfielder like the British said. I was always told that I resembled Marek Hamsik. I think he is more technical and I have more physical quality, “Krunic said.

“My idol at AC Milan is Kaka, but he is an attacking midfielder. I watched De Bruyne a lot at Manchester City. I think we have the same characteristics. “

Milan brought in Krunic at a cost of eight million euros, or around Rp 125 billion. Krunic’s worth is considered low as Empoli has been relegated. The 25-year-old midfielder has signed a contract in Milan until June 30, 2024 and will wear the number 33.

“I can also give a lot on the field, especially in terms of moving the ball quickly. That’s my most important quality, “Krunic added.

In Milan, Krunic will be reunited with his coach at Empoli last season 2015-16, Marco Giampaolo, who had previously been appointed as a coach.

“I know Giampaolo, he was my first coach in Italy, there wasn’t much change in the training session. He has a vision to play and he is proud of that, “Krunic continued.
