Muntari: Essien can give so much to Milan The Rossoneri midfielder believes his fellow
Ghanaian has a lot to contribute to the side and
spoke of his long-standing friendship with the
club's new arrival.
AC Milan’s Sulley Muntari has backed new arrival
Michael Essien to succeed at the club.
The 31-year-old signed an 18-month contract with
the Rossoneri on Tuesday after opting to leave
Chelsea, and Muntari is looking forward to linking
up with his countryman.
Speaking to Milan Channel, Muntari said: “I’m
convinced that he can give so much at Milan. Me
and my team-mates are helping him to settle as
soon as possible.”
Muntari and Essien, both midfielders, have
regularly played together in Ghana’s national
side and know one another well.
Muntari added: “He's a quiet guy and does not
talk much. We've been friends for 12 years, we
have often shared a room when we are with our
country.”
Despite Milan’s Coppa Italia exit to Udinese,
Muntari is remaining positive over the remainder
of the Rossoneri’s league campaign after two
late goals gave them a 2-1 win at Cagliari on
Sunday.
"Cagliari's victory gave us great confidence, we
must continue to do well," he said.
“We have to give continuity to the results
against Torino on Saturday, we are listening to
the coach and we are trying to put into practice
in his ideas.
“Seedorf's work is not easy, it is important to
create a compact group. Things are going well and
we want to follow this path.” Source - Goal
