Extended interview with Noce:
Antonio Nocerino was one of the most beautiful surprises of last season, AC Milan, although this year is struggling more as the whole team. The midfielder Naples issued a lengthy interview with Guerin Sportivo, in which he spoke of his career at AC Milan and his former comrades who left the Rossoneri.
On the jersey number 8 inherited from Gattuso: "I am a beautiful effect. That number has always attracted me, but it is clear that take today makes me doubly pleased. With Rino bind us many things, from a life that looks like: we're both Southern boys forced to come to the North to play football, both convinced that the road to success is paved with hard work. Rino is a great person and I do not say this because these will need to speak good of all. The player has a formidable character, but the man is just as strong, just as rich. E 'was he to explain publicly that he'd like to leave me your number. There was no need to ask. "
Its characteristics: "I'm especially determined. As I said before Gattuso, I have done and am doing my fatigue strength. The lesson I passed it Zeman at age 17, when he took all'Avellino. Repeated to me every day: "The effort to fight in one way: working." And I work a lot. "
Its tendency to score a lot: "Go in and score like that much. When I got as technical Delio Rossi and Allegri, who ask midfielders to sink, I managed to get it right. Ditto in Piacenza with Iachini: closed with six goals. The 10 goals last year? There was a leap, I'd given as a goal. I thought, "You have to be more specific, try the door wider." There is one thing I can not stand, in football and in life, and that is to be flat, without trying new and different things. "
On his idol: "I dreamed of being Shevchenko. He was my idol when I was already in Naples. Tell you something that I have not told anyone when I met him in June to Europeans, was crazy emotion. I swear I was moved. And in the end, look at the facts of life, I ended up in his own Milan. "
On his arrival at Milan for € 500 thousand, "I have to laugh, and we often joke with people even at Milanello: I have been taking for 3 thousand pounds and a soda. I do not mean to be worth 20 or 30 million as Ibrahimovic or Thiago Silva, for charity, but maybe not so little. Here I knew I had to climb the hierarchy, of having to demonstrate mature to play continuously in a great team. I had the Europeans in the viewfinder and I had to play. It helped the Rossoneri environment: there are wonderful people and there Allegri gave me confidence. "
On Ibrahimovic: "He is one of the few strikers in the world who is happy to score the other. It 'also great in this. I had a relationship with him spectacular. He could also ask, "Who is' I'm Nocerino? What do you want someone like me? ". Instead, it is a person of worth and I regret that the public image is different, very different from the private. "
On the many players who have gone: "I miss all of them, each for a different reason. Take Van Bommel, guy who did little known outside Milanello, but decisive on the inside. A reference that I'm missing. And so obviously Rino and Sandro (Nesta), with whom I shared space on the bus and at the table while we ate. "
The best moment to Milan: "It 's easy to score at Camp Nou. It 'was a magical year, the last, certainly the most beautiful of my football life. Milan, the 10 goals in the league, the National conserved Europeans. There was in everything. "
At the time instead ugliest in the Rossoneri: "Easy here: the last few weeks. Sorry to see your team in trouble. But I am convinced that there risolleveremo, starting to not listen to all the chatter that surrounds us. We just have to focus on us and not to listen outside, where the name of Milan weighs. "
