Modena defender Mattia Caldara gave an interview to Corriere della Sera, discussing his career so far and his new start with the yellow-blue club.
Among the topics he covered was his time at Milan: here are his thoughts.
“I came from Juventus with Higuain, and in two years at Atalanta, I scored 10 goals and debuted for the national team. The club took us up to the terrace in Piazza Duomo in front of the fans. It was so embarrassing; even doing interviews is hard for me. Milan is the greatest regret of my life.”
On his injuries, Caldara said:
“During a training run, I tore my Achilles tendon. The surgeon saw that it was only attached by 10%, so he didn’t operate. I stayed home with a cast for 50 days. When I returned to the field, Musacchio was on a yellow card suspension. Finally, I thought it was my moment. Two days before the game, in a clash with Borini, I tore my ACL. It was a terrible blow.”
On his Serie A debut with Milan in May against Salernitana:
“In the end, I thanked the doctors. They were the most disappointed when I couldn’t recover. The coach was putting pressure: ‘Why isn’t he ready yet?'”
