Matthew: Vidal is very interesting& Pier loves to trick the hardest moment in his career is leaving Milan

September 7 Not long ago, Juventus and Milan former player Matti was interviewed by the Milan Sports Daily and talked about multiple topics.

You practiced cycling when you were a child, and your idol was Pantani, so why did you finally choose football?

"My father is the chairman of the village team, and his uncle and brother are both riding bicycles, so I also tried it. I also play football, but I have to make a choice when I was 8 years old. Biking is a lonely and hard sport. You have no excuses, and you can't blame others for not passing the ball to you."

"I bet my dad in the last game that he would give me the prize money for each lap. I was in front of the first 9 laps, but I withdrew in the last lap: I was already breathless, and it was the ambulance that carried me away."

You once fainted in Juventus' training. Is that the only time?

"I have never experienced such a situation. At that time, I was training in the United States, with a humidity of 100%, a high temperature of 40 degrees, and we were still in the jet lag. Conte arranged for us to train directly. I held on for a while, but my heart rate exceeded 200, and I started to tremble. I had to stop."

"Conte teased me and said, 'They told me that you are quite kind...' Later I got used to it. Vidal and Marcisio were the best, and Tony and I were always at the end. Gasperini's training method was also very ruthless, but I never fainted except for the time in Philadelphia."

Is Vidal the craziest teammate?

"Vidal is very interesting, it integrates well, and it seems like it has a battery on the court. Once in Miami, Vidal was crazy the night before, and Conte wanted to torture us the next day, but he didn't succeed. Vidal ran very fast even if he didn't sleep."

"As for Pirlo, I was in the same room with him when I was in Turin, he was the king of pranks. He made fun of me for being hypochondria. Whenever I complained, he would call the doctor. Now I'm not like that anymore, I went to see a psychologist to help me."

Allegri coached you in Cagliari, Milan and Juventus. When did you laugh the most during that period?

"I have laughed many times, not just laughed... In Cagliari's first year, I only played 20 minutes in each game. In Lecce's game, we were behind 0-2. Allegri replaced Lazari and I, but after the game, accused us of losing. I asked assistant coach Randucci, and he said that the reason Allegri did this was because he liked us."

"What I feel a little sad at Juventus was that Allegri asked me to sit in the stands in the Champions League final. At that time, I just scored in the Italian Cup final, at least I thought I could make it to the bench, but Pepe and I were not selected, so I had to comfort myself by drinking and eating. Maybe one day Allegri would tell me the reason."

The most important goal and the most difficult moment in my career?

"The most important goal was the goal against Lazio in the 2015 Cup final. I performed poorly in the past two years, and that goal gave me a great sense of satisfaction, especially after Agnelli told me that his father had always wanted to win this star-marked trophy."

"But the most beautiful goal was against Milan, the game with controversy in the goal line of Montali. I was marked by Thiago Silva and scored a 1-1 equalization goal. The goal was both beautiful and important, and played a role in the championship competition."

"The most difficult time was leaving Milan. I had high expectations for myself, but the season started a bad start and my confidence dropped. Six months later, I asked Gagliani and said I wanted to leave, and I realized that I was not ready yet."

You have always been considered a handsome guy in football. Have you received many letters or teasings?

"I stayed in a hotel for the first month when I went to Juventus. I already had a girlfriend. Federica kept calling me if I had any fans downstairs in the hotel. I looked out the window, but no one."

"I have indeed been appreciated, but I have never received letters or underwear. Maybe it was my partner's fame that discouraged others. She used to be even more jealous, but now it's my turn to be jealous."

How did you catch up with Federica? Why not get married?

"I met her in a nightclub while playing football in Cagliari, but she never gave anyone a phone number, and I didn't ask. She called me with the landline at home, and she made me work hard to catch her. Marriage has never been our priority. I am anxious just to prepare for the wedding."

Which guard is the most ruthless in your footsteps?

"Samuel. His actions were done 5 minutes before the start so that he would not get a yellow card, and at the same time let you know that this game will be head-on. Chiellini is also difficult to deal with."

What do you want to do in the future?

"Good question... I worked in Lazio with Tare for a year, and I am grateful to him, and learned a lot, but I didn't inspire real enthusiasm."

"I haven't completely figured it out yet. I've been going all over the world in my career. Now I want to enjoy my family life and do some TV review work. But one thing is certain: I will never be a coach, because I like to be with everyone."
