Milan, Tomori: ‘I bet with Bakayoko, I’ll dye myself blond’

In his eyes he still has the human tide of the Rossoneri that first invaded the Mapei pitch and then half of Milan. In his heart the emotion of a championship won in his second year with the Devil. Since the retirement of the English national team, Fikayo Tomori speaks again of Milan with contagious enthusiasm. And he also reveals a nice anecdote: “I bet with Bakayoko that I would dye my hair blonde like him if we won – he told The Athletic -, so I’ll have to do that too “.

Passion

—

Not the maximum of originality, it must be said, but it makes a certain effect if we think about the type of person that is Fik. Rigorous appearance, always very serious and applied, even if during the Scudetto celebrations he was among the wildest. The defender continues: “When I arrived there was Covid, so the passion of the fans was something difficult to imagine. I had heard from those who played in Italy that it is crazy. This season I was able to live it fully. It is indescribable and, as they say, you have to see it, be inside it because there is so much passion, so much joy. I’ll never forget it”.

Concentration

—

Then, some passages with a single dedication. On Maldini: “In March 2021, when I was still on loan, we talked about how I was feeling, what he thought I could improve. I was still on loan, so that he still showed interest in me, telling me what I could improve on was, well, he said it is a whole other story. ” On Ibra: “Even in the interval against Sassuolo he kept saying that it wasn’t over. We were 3-0 up, but he said: ‘There are still 45 minutes left. We haven’t done anything yet. ‘ It has been like this for the last six or seven games. Every time we won, he kept everyone’s concentration, he kept talking in the locker room, he tried to be positive ”. And finally on Leao: “In training you wouldn’t think he’s as electric as he is in a match. He likes to joke, he does a lot of dribbling, overtakes you once and wants to get back to you. But when it comes to playing, it’s crucial for the team. It’s since I arrived that I tell him: ‘You don’t know how good you are’. Because it shows that he has everything. He is fast, he is strong, he can dribble, he can hit his head, he is tall. He has it all. He was definitely our man of difference and he deserved the title of best player of the season for Serie A ”.
