New AC Milan signing Keisuke Honda has revealed that he always wanted to join the
Rossoneri as he was unveiled to the Italian
media. The Japanese international has joined Milan on a
free transfer from CSKA Moscow , and the playmaker is thrilled to have moved to the Italian
side. Its been an exciting time, since I knew I was
joining Milan and Im really happy to be here, he
told the press. I always said that I would play in Serie A one day and wear the number 10 shirt. I knew all the
Milan players as a child I watched the matches
on tv every week. Serie A is the most famous football league in Japan. I was delighted about the interest in me and I
want to thank Andriano Galliani and the club for
this transfer. I now want to show on the pitch
what can I do. I was destined to come here. Honda stated that he knows what is expected of
him at the San Siro. I understand there are high expectations,
Honda added, and Ive got to show what Im
capable of. I want to score many goals, assists. Ill
do my best. I have said in many interviews, for me football is
my life. Im not so interested in the city in which I
play, I only want to train hard, rest well and win. I can play in any position but if I could choose, I
would like to play behind the striker, as an
attacking midfielder. The Japanese star also had his say on the current
Milan side and the impact of Alberto Zaccheroni
on his decision to join Milan I dont think the side are doing that bad,
Honda continued. I saw the match on Monday.
The boys are great. [Japan coach Alberto] Zaccheroni advised me to
come here as Milan are a top side in Serie A.
