“I have always given everything for these colours and I go on tiptoe, exactly how I arrived years ago. I have never made any proclamations or promises, I have never loved to exaggerate.
I have always and only tried to defend the AC Milan shirt. In less dark years I have always put my face, legs and heart in it. Sometimes I did well, sometimes I didn’t, but I always did everything with honesty, affection and attachment.
“I became a man with you, I acquired my credibility on the field and conquered the national team, thanks to you. I became a man and father off the field.
I will miss the walks in the Duomo, I will miss Milan, the people who work there, my companions, my friends, all the managers and the fans. But above all I will miss the Rossoneri shirt, which is beautiful and I have always respected and loved.
“I always demanded the maximum from myself and I go away without remorse and regrets, with my head held high. My task here is finished, now it’s not up to me, but I will never forget anything, neither the beautiful nor the less beautiful things. I arrived in an AC Milan in difficulty, but I always gave my willingness to defend this club on the pitch.
“We have shared interesting years: several owners, many managers, numerous coaches. I’m here today, and you have no idea what I’m feeling right now. I have not been and I will not be good even this time to tell my emotions. But believe me, I’ll miss you. Good luck. Thanks Milan, I will always be your fan. With affection, Suso.”
