quiet, maybe a bit shy, and respectful. But right from the start he had a great desire to learn - not that he needed much help. He just seemed to soak it up. His record speaks for itself.

“[L'invasione russa dell'Ucraina] Non è un conflitto, non è un’operazione speciale, come la vogliono vendere. È un’aggressione. Un crimine contro i civili. Nessuno ci ha voluto credere, sino all’ultimo. Non potevamo immaginare che la Russia ci avrebbe fatto questo. Ci pareva impossibile.”
“[«Che cosa pensa di Putin?»] Che è un assassino. Ora il bersaglio siamo noi, che confiniamo con la Russia. Ma poi a chi toccherà?”
“[«È stato giusto cancellare la Russia dalle competizioni sportive?»] Decisione condivisibile, c'è stata un'aggressione. Finché non si ferma la guerra, gli atleti russi devono stare fuori.”
“Quello che accade è inumano, non bisogna smettere di parlarne. Abbiamo bisogno di sentire il sostegno della comunità internazionale in ogni momento.”
“Noi vogliamo la pace. Ma arrenderci in questo momento significherebbe perdere la libertà. Noi ci stiamo battendo e ci batteremo per la nostra libertà e i nostri diritti. Vogliamo avvicinarci all’Europa. Non abbiamo attaccato nessuno, ci stiamo solo difendendo [dall'invasione russa.]”
“Milano e l'Italia sono la mia seconda patria.”
“It meant a lot to me that Chelsea have wanted me for the last three years and that is the reason I chose them. It was important for me to come to a club with the same level of excellence. It is a great team and it is important to play for a great team.”
“Questa mattina, all'alba, una guerra su vasta scala è stata iniziata dalla Russia. La mia gente e la mia famiglia sono in pericolo. L'Ucraina e la sua popolazione vogliono pace e integrità territoriale. Vi prego, vi prego di sostenere il nostro Paese e chiedere al Governo russo di fermare la loro aggressione e violazione del diritto internazionale.”
“Al Milan sono stato accolto subito benissimo. Costacurta per me è stato un fratello maggiore”
“Giocare le partite difficili mi piaceva sempre, in campo mi trasformavo. Da quando ho iniziato a giocare a calcio ho sempre avuto questo tipo di atteggiamento, ho sempre avuto fame e voglia di vincere. Volevo fare qualcosa di diverso dagli altri”
“Michael Jordan penso sia stato l'atleta perfetto, il più adatto allo sport che praticava”
“Lavorare con Sacchi sarebbe stato molto interessante. Sacchi come mentalità era simile a Lobanovski, il tecnico che mi ha formato nella Dinamo Kiev. Intensità, impegno, lavoro, pensiero collettivo, dedizione: i concetti erano quelli del calcio moderno. Sacchi ha rivoluzionato il calcio, un po' come aveva fatto Lobanovski nella ex Unione Sovietica.”
“Fare l'allenatore è un'altra cosa [rispetto al calciatore]. Devi rapportarti a tante persone, pensare al gruppo, a come rivolgerti ai giocatori che fai andare in campo e a quelli che lasci in panchina. Hai più responsabilità e per diversi giorni devi pensare a come preparare la partita tatticamente. Poi quando comincia la tua parte è fatta.”
“Kaká: mai visto nella storia del Milan un giocatore così perfetto, entrato così pienamente dentro i meccanismi di squadra. Dopo un solo allenamento ho capito che questo era un ragazzo speciale, che con lui avremmo fatto un salto di qualità: ha cambiato la marcia del Milan.”
“If my goals and victories can help the world remember Chernobyl and bring a smile to the face of the people still suffering then I dedicate all my success to them.”

“Giorgio [Armani] era sempre indaffarato, stava preparando la sfilata ed era circondato da modelle. Ma quando mi ha visto è stato tenero, come al solito. Vederlo è stato emozionante.”
“Sono stato suo testimonial per diverse campagne. Erano gli anni d’oro in cui giocavo nel Milan. Giorgio [Armani] mi ha insegnato lo stile e la classe. È stato per me un grande amico.”
“[Su Giorgio Armani.] Non voglio soffermarmi sulle sue doti artistiche che tutti conoscono: quel suo lato è, giustamente, già noto a tutto il mondo. Io preferisco pensare a lui come a una persona affettuosa, attenta al prossimo, di grandi valori, che stimo tanto.”
“[«Quanto è importante per l'Ucraina entrare nell'Ue?»] Per noi è tutto: è stato grande il gesto di solidarietà dell'Europa di accettare la nostra richiesta attraverso la procedura più rapida.”
