In Verona he was the surprise starter for Paulo Fonseca, above all due to his position: central midfield in the 4-2-3-1. Filippo Terracciano he is turning into the wild card for all seasons for the Portuguese coach and is moving up the hierarchies, after having been practically in mothballs throughout the Pioli period. The “Bentegodi” match was a special match for the player, being born in Verona and having a football background. And being the father, Antonio, also from Verona and a former Hellas player. Terracciano Senior himself spoke to the microphones of MilanNews.it to talk about his son's first year with the Rossoneri and the special night at his house. This is an excerpt of his statements:
Fonseca is using him in multiple roles
“I think they saw something different in Filippo. Because he has this quality of making all the skills he has available, all his football knowledge available to the coach. And players like that are always appreciated by the coach, because where there is he adapts, trying to do his best without objecting. He also plays on the left in Verona.”
The first six months were complicated
“We were surprised by moving from Verona to Milan, it was an important leap. Filippo needed and still needs time because the Milan world is completely different from the reality of Verona. Some people, perhaps at 20, are already mature for certain contexts, Filippo yes he found himself in a world that he had to know. And he immediately had great humility, working without saying anything and accepting all the decisions, even the criticisms. And in his mind a great desire to improve.”
There has been talk for some time about him being loaned out in January
“To date we have received nothing from the club. I know there are requests but nothing has been said to Filippo.”
What is Philip's will?
“Filippo always says: if the club wants me, I'll stay here. And to date we haven't been told any decisions regarding loans or transfers.”
Can we therefore say that he will stay at Milan?
“Everything changes in football from one day to the next, situations and dynamics that we don't know can happen. But as mentioned, we haven't received any communication on the matter.”
