Simic reflects on season so far and responds to question on Milan future

AC Milan defender Jan-Carlo Simic has admitted that he is only thinking game by game while he reflected on what has been a big campaign for him from a personal point of view.

Simic has four Serie A appearances and one goal to his name and he has come across like a very mature defender when given minutes, something that seems to have transitioned into his leader status with Ignazio Abate’s side.

Milan will look to build around him in the years to come, but as MilanNews recently reported they are having some difficulties in agreeing terms over a new deal. The report stated that talks have been going on for a few weeks but are at a stalemate.

It is believed that the Rossoneri are planning to kick-start the talks again in the next few weeks to narrow the gap, then it must be seen if the plan is to permanently promote him to the first team, to use him in the U23 side that might be registered or loan him out.

Simic spoke at Sportitalia’s ‘Primavera Football Awards’ where he was awarded as the best defender in the Primavera 1 league, with his comments relayed by MilanNews.

Yesterday’s 3-3 drew against Torino got you into the play-offs…

“It was a crazy match but in the end a draw was enough to reach the play-offs, which was one of our objectives.”

How do you rate Milan’s season?

“It was a year of growth for all of us. I think that the Youth League final we lost made us an even more united team. Now there are the playoffs and we want to give our best to get to the end.”

You made your Serie A debut too…

“It was a beautiful day, I will never forget it. Each of us dreams of scoring a goal on our debut. The noise of San Siro after the goal will always remain in my heart.”
