De Winter: Amorim has given Milan enthusiasm and I dream of leaving my mark in the club's history

Milan defender Koni Di Venter has stated that coach Ruben Amorim has instilled great enthusiasm and a desire for teamwork within the squad, noting that the atmosphere in the dressing room combines fun and seriousness. In an interview with 'Sport Mediaset', he explained that he has felt the coach's confidence since their first conversation in Jakarta, affirming that he always strives to give his best and help the team.

De Winter praised Amorim's character, describing him as a coach who is close to the players and easy to talk to. He also touched on Milan's reliance on four defenders against Lecce instead of three, explaining that he believes the team performed well in both formations, but the formation decisions are up to the coach. The team's victory against Lecce confirms the success of his choice in that match.

Regarding his ambitions with AC Milan, the Belgian defender expressed his desire to become an important player in the club's history, citing names like Alessandro Costacurta and Vincent Kompany. He confirmed that wearing the shirt of a club as big as Milan represents a great opportunity, emphasizing that the club must remain competitive at the top, and that every player dreams of leaving their own mark in football.

De Winter revealed that his choice of the number five shirt was not due to a specific reason, but because it was available and he prefers smaller numbers. He also spoke about his personality, explaining that he appears calm off the pitch, while the picture changes when he is in competitive environments. He noted that the AC Milan dressing room includes cheerful personalities, among them Diego and Chukwueze, who bring a positive atmosphere to the group.

De Winter concluded his remarks by affirming that he is prepared to celebrate in a special way if Milan wins the Serie A title, stating that he would not mind cycling from Milan to the club's headquarters. He reminisced about the trips he used to take with his father when he was young, noting that cycling is a common activity in Belgium.
