Calabria: “Inzaghi was the coach who allowed me to change careers”

Long interview with Milan defender and captain Davide Calabriainto microphones RadioTV Serie A. It all starts with the passion for the Rossoneri club and the sacrifices that must be made to reach Serie A: “For me, Milan is everything, it has been my life until now. I grew up in a Milan family, I went to the stadium with them. before I even put on this T-shirt. My first time at San Siro was a Champions League match, I was six years old. This was an incredible Milan team, one of the best teams in the history of football. In my room I had a poster of Kaka with his classic celebration with his fingers raised to the sky. I also had a few aftermarket shirts because those were the only ones I could afford at the time, but I would say that over time I was able to recover.Kaka was an outstanding player, one of my favorites along with Shevchenko: idols help you dream, you hope to reach their level. I always dreamed of becoming a Serie A footballer, I had a lot of confidence in my abilities: I think that allowed me to stand up to other guys who perhaps had more talent than me. We have a great job, but I also had to make sacrifices. As a teenager, I gave up my life, I was limited compared to other children: I grew up quickly. There are many privileges in the life of a footballer, but reaching a certain level is not a given and you are faced with situations that are not easy for a child to cope with. My family was ordinary: my father was a bricklayer, my mother a worker. Being able to help them financially is a great satisfaction. They taught me to work hard, even the expenses were high because I had to constantly travel from Brescia to Milan. The fundamental figure was my mother, because she often followed me and, I think, she sacrificed many hours for me: everything that I have today, I owe to her. The first year at Milan was difficult, I often missed my family, but then I got used to it.”
