00:00Welcome to the press conference of Strahinja Pavlovic.
00:04Let's start with the questions and we give the floor to Mauro Suma for Milan TV.
00:08Thank you Nicolo.
00:09Good morning Zlatan, good morning Strahinja.
00:12Zlatan, I wanted to ask you this.
00:15How did you get here, what was your journey to consider Pavlovic an ideal reinforcement for Milan?
00:23What made you think, yes, Pavlovic is the right defender for us?
00:29Yes, sorry.
00:32Good morning everyone, welcome.
00:35How did we get here for Strahinja?
00:39We looked for a defender with a good profile.
00:46I don't think it's a bad profile.
00:49Last year we conceded a lot of goals.
00:54We tried to reinforce the defense.
00:58With Strahinja it was a perfect profile.
01:02The scouting team and everyone, with Jeff Moncada as a pilot,
01:09brought Strahinja's name to everyone.
01:15We followed him for a long time.
01:19In the end we were all convinced.
01:22Strahinja is an aggressive player.
01:25He plays with his left foot and uses his right foot.
01:30In our defense there is only Theo Hernandez who uses his left foot more than his right.
01:38In his game he is intense.
01:42He is not afraid.
01:45He has the right attitude that we want.
01:49Strahinja is a good team.
01:52I need a little bit of malice.
01:58Strahinja Pavlovic is right.
02:01He is right for this team.
02:04We talked to the coach.
02:09He liked Strahinja a lot.
02:13He is 22 years old and young.
02:16He has a lot of room to grow.
02:18He has experience in the Champions League.
02:21He has experience in Europe and international football.
02:26We did everything to bring him here.
02:29We are very happy.
02:32I am sure he will bring colour to the stadium.
02:37I am even more sure that he will be a fan favourite.
02:43Every time Strahinja comes on the pitch, he comes with his heart.
02:48As a former player, the fans notice that.
02:53Strahinja is a 200% player.
02:56The fans feel it.
02:59We are happy that the whole team worked hard to bring him here.
03:07Welcome to AC Milan, Strahinja Pavlovic.
03:15Thank you Zlatan.
03:17Zlatan, Ibrahimovic used very important concepts today.
03:26How important was it to convince you to choose AC Milan?
03:32What important things did you say during the negotiation?
03:42First of all, thank you very much.
03:44Zlatan played a very important role for me.
03:48When I heard that AC Milan was in contact with me,
03:53I said that this is an incredible club.
03:56The history behind it is incredible.
03:59I immediately started talking to Zlatan.
04:02The more I talked to him, the more convinced I was to come here.
04:09I immediately understood how much you wanted me here.
04:15It was not difficult to say yes.
04:22Good morning.
04:23Ibra introduced you.
04:25How do you feel?
04:27What are your characteristics?
04:29Considering what Fonseca said during the press conference,
04:34when he said that he needed an aggressive defence,
04:37he introduced you as an aggressive defender.
04:40What are your characteristics?
04:42If you prefer to play with a 3 or 4-man defence,
04:45considering that you are the only man,
04:48I quickly ask you if you talked to Okafore and Jovic,
04:51who you know, and what they told you about Fonseca.
05:07Yes, it's true.
05:08I think I'm an aggressive player.
05:10I like the attack.
05:12I think it's the right adjective to describe me in the best way.
05:16It's clear that I still have to talk a lot with the coach.
05:20I'm here to do my best and to do what he asks me to do.
05:25Playing with a 3 or 4-man defence is not a problem for me.
05:28It doesn't make a difference.
05:30As I said before, I'm here to give 200% of myself.
05:34Welcome, Pablo.
05:36Welcome.
05:37My question is...
05:39My question is...
05:41Did you already give an artistic name, Pablo?
05:45That's what they call him.
05:47This is the animal, not Pablo.
05:51I know that during your time in Serbia,
05:54you had the chance to speak to some of the players
05:58who are already playing in Italy,
06:00about Serie A and our league.
06:03Vlaovic, I know he's a good friend of yours.
06:06What did they tell you?
06:08What do you expect from our league?
06:10Is it different from what you've experienced so far
06:13in France, Austria or Serbia?
06:21Yes, that's true.
06:23I've spoken to them and I've spoken to many Serbian players.
06:28There are many Serbian players who have played in Italy.
06:32They told me that Italy is the right place for me right now.
06:37There are a lot of good teams and clubs.
06:44It's the right thing to do.
06:46You come here to improve a lot.
06:53Good morning.
06:55Your coach, Stojkovic,
07:00said that Serie A is always a university for you defenders.
07:07What's your favourite idol?
07:10Loso Nero?
07:12Did you choose the number 31 for Stam or for what reason?
07:27Yes, it's true.
07:29I was the one who chose the number 31.
07:32It was the number that I had the honour to wear
07:35physically in Salzburg, in Austria.
07:37When I realised that Stam was wearing that number,
07:41it was even more beautiful.
07:43For me, Stam is an iconic hero.
07:48People tend to compare me and Stam.
07:52I think we have the same hair.
07:55But apart from the hair, we play the same type of game.
07:59It's a sign of our attack.
08:01We're aggressive.
08:03We've done a lot of similar things on the pitch.
08:08Il Giorno.
08:11Good morning.
08:13I wanted to ask if you have an idea
08:16of who could be the biggest rivals for the Scudetto.
08:20Your coach spoke about the season's objective the other day.
08:27Did you have the chance,
08:29with the first fans you met here in Milan,
08:35to feel the rivalry with Inter?
08:49I think there are excellent teams in Italy.
08:54Excellent clubs.
08:56It's clear that there's competition,
08:58but there's also great competition.
09:00There are five or six teams
09:03that can compete for the final title.
09:06There are also other trophies, as we see.
09:10As for the second question,
09:12I've spoken to many people in Milan,
09:16and I've also spoken to many Milanese people
09:19that I meet on the street.
09:21I think the atmosphere is already positive.
09:24There's a lot of respect between the two clubs.
09:27I think it's the best thing.
09:29Sport Italia.
09:31Hi, Pavlovic. Welcome to Milan.
09:33You're a player that needs to improve.
09:36Aggressiveness is one of your main characteristics.
09:39Where do you feel there's room for improvement
09:43in your game, in your vision?
09:45Where do you feel you can improve,
09:47here in Milan and in Serie A?
09:49I want to be honest.
09:51I have to say that in our lives,
09:53we all improve every single day.
09:55I think this is the right mental attitude.
09:58In every training, in every meeting,
10:00in every game, you can learn,
10:02so you can improve.
10:04Of course, I can't understand everything
10:06that's going on in the world right now,
10:08but I think it's the right attitude.
10:10I think it's the right attitude.
10:12I think it's the right attitude.
10:14I think it's the right attitude.
10:16Milan News.
10:18Milan News.
10:20Hello Stracchini, welcome to Milan,
10:22in Italy.
10:24How are you physically,
10:26how do you feel about the new season
10:28and what is your goal,
10:30your dream with the red and black colours?
10:34Milan News.
10:36Milan News.
10:38Milan News.
10:40Milan News.
10:42Milan News.
10:44Milan News.
10:50Hello everyone, I feel really good,
10:52yes I am fine,
10:54I am prepared.
10:58So we trained in Milan,
11:00we trained in Milan,
11:02we trained in Milan,
11:04and the tression came during the period
11:06of the summer in Austria
11:08with Salzburg.
11:10So now, yes, I am fully prepared
11:12What are my goals? Well, I have dreams.
11:15When you get to a club that's big, your dream is big.
11:18So my personal goals are big too.
11:22Calciomercato.com
11:24I wanted to ask you, you've been here for 5-6 days, if I'm not mistaken.
11:27It's not a very long time, but I wanted to ask you your first impressions of Milan, the city.
11:34And then, what does Milan mean to you in this phase of your career?
11:38You're very young, but you've also had experience in various leagues in the past.
11:52I have to say, everything is very positive here.
11:57As I said before, it's a dream that's coming true for me.
12:01The club is excellent, Milanello is a beautiful location.
12:05But I mean the people.
12:07Everything that everyone is doing for me, to prepare me for the best, as quickly as possible.
12:14I also like the city a lot.
12:16As I said, I've just arrived, I don't even have time to visit the most important places.
12:21But I'm really sure that I will not only play well, but also have fun in Milan.
12:25Gazetta.it, please.
12:28Hi, Stradinia.
12:29Two things.
12:30The first is, apart from the aggressiveness, do you think that being a left-footed player is a plus that you can give to yourself in this role?
12:41And then I wanted to know, as Zlatan said last year, and in the eyes of everyone,
12:46the fact that the defense went quite badly.
12:48I wanted to know if you had seen some of Milan's games last year.
12:52And from your personal point of view, did you see what could be improved from a defensive point of view?
13:10Look, I think that...
13:11First of all, I have to say, yes, I saw some games last season.
13:19I saw all the goals conceded during the season, which ended recently.
13:26So, I have to say, yes, it's a bit like the whole team.
13:30The whole team has to work both for the attack and for the defense.
13:33I think you need a lot of compactness to play with more aggressiveness, as I said.
13:39So this sort of dualism is really fundamental.
13:44Did I forget the other question?
13:46Can you repeat it?
13:48Do you think that being Mancini is an added value, in addition to the aggressiveness you have as a characteristic?
13:56Yes, I think so.
13:57Because when you play as Mancini, it's an advantage.
14:02But simply because there aren't many players who do the same thing.
14:06So, I think so.
14:08I think I'm lucky and happy to play this way.
14:11AllMilan, please.
14:12Lucrezia Pagetta from AllMilan.
14:14Good morning.
14:15You told us that your name means fearless.
14:18So, I'm asking you, what should your opponents be afraid of when they face you?
14:26Just look at him, right?
14:33Yes, as Zlatan said.
14:34Exactly, I confirm what Zlatan said.
14:37Vincenzo Matrone.
14:39I have a question for you.
14:42First of all, welcome to Milan.
14:46Of course, you are a central defender.
14:49But have you played any other role in your career?
14:52Zlatan, I would like to ask you.
14:54Milan now has five central defenders.
14:57Do you think there is someone who can play any other role?
15:02In Milan, many years ago, Desai played as a central defender.
15:07And he set up the Milan midfield.
15:09Do you have any imagination?
15:13It's true that we have five central defenders.
15:15It's also true that Pier Calupo has to play on the right.
15:20Of our four central defenders, only Pavlovic is left.
15:30In our opinion, it's important to have one of them.
15:36Some defenders who also play with Mancino.
15:43My Italian is not perfect, but we are not all perfect.
15:49But this is important for us.
15:51As I said in the press conference with Fonseca, this market will be more than Italy.
15:58What is missing in the team?
16:00We bring these details that we want.
16:05After our strategy and plans, we have an idea.
16:09One of these details was to bring a Mancino defender.
16:14Who plays as a central defender.
16:18Because in our opinion it was missing.
16:20I also forgot to say at the beginning that Strahinja is also a leader.
16:25On the pitch and off the pitch.
16:27Even if he is 22 years old.
16:29This is also important because when you have a very young team,
16:35he also seems to be a player who is a leader.
16:40And tomorrow he will be another leader.
16:43This is important for us.
16:47More than two roles.
16:49As I see it, as we see it.
16:51Let's see.
16:52Pier can also play on the right.
16:54Because normally he played on the right.
16:56Then we put him as a central defender.
16:59And it went well.
17:01It is always good to have alternatives.
17:04Then the technical choices are up to the coach.
17:16As for the question asked to me.
17:18It is true that when I was much younger I played in different roles.
17:22I played in different positions.
17:24I was very lucky.
17:26I had an incredible coach.
17:30He liked to put the defenders and play in the center.
17:34Rather than attacking with number 10.
17:36So he used me in many different roles and positions.
17:40It was a good training for me.
17:42Because he wanted me to learn how to play.
17:44It is true.
17:46I played in many different roles and positions.
17:48But I knew that the main position would have been the current one.
17:52Milan Press.
17:55Hi Strainia.
17:56Welcome to Milan.
17:58You have already mentioned the atmosphere of the Milan derby.
18:01You have already played another derby with a great atmosphere.
18:04The Belgrade derby.
18:06I wanted to ask you.
18:07Given your experience.
18:09What do you think you can bring in such an important game for the fans?
18:13Especially after the last games.
18:16The last derbies didn't go very well.
18:18What do you think you can bring in the derby?
18:29You are right.
18:30I can confirm.
18:31I played the Belgrade derby with Arestel Partizan.
18:34I was lucky in that moment.
18:37Because I was very young.
18:39I played that derby when I was 17 years old.
18:41I learned right away how to manage the pressure.
18:45From the beginning of the game.
18:47Until that age.
18:49Since I was very young.
18:50It is something I learned and I think it is positive.
18:53This has generated positive results for me.
18:55The derby.
18:56But I will use my cards for the derby here in Milan.
19:02Hi.
19:03You have already mentioned Ibra.
19:05You are destined to become an idol of the fans.
19:08In a few days you will be able to hear the chants of the fans.
19:13Are you excited about that?
19:26I am happy.
19:28I am happy.
19:29The most important thing right now is to get on the pitch and hold it.
19:34Keep the pitch.
19:36I want to show all my strengths.
19:40I hope I will be able to show who I am.
19:48I hope the fans will appreciate my style of play.
19:52I love playing football.
19:54I always play at 100%.
19:56I have always been passionate about it.
19:58Since I was young.
20:00The fans in the clubs I used to play for.
20:03They have always recognized my style of play.
20:06I want to do a lot of good things on the pitch.
20:09That's the news.
20:10That's the news.
20:11Hi.
20:12I have another question about the derby.
20:14You have already faced Inter in the Champions League.
20:17There are videos on the web where you have beaten Inter several times.
20:21I ask you.
20:22Does Inter have the most fearsome attack of Serie A at the moment?
20:31I don't know if they are the best.
20:34But they have a lot of qualities and a lot of strengths.
20:38So yes, it's true.
20:40I have played against them twice.
20:43I know the attackers well.
20:45There is another thing to say.
20:47That experience, as I said before, will help me for the future here in Milan.
20:53Let's close with Radio Rossonera.
21:00Hi, Salina.
21:01Welcome.
21:02I ask you.
21:03Your family has always been a reference point for you.
21:07How did they receive Milan's interest in you?
21:16They are very proud.
21:18I have to say it.
21:19So I say it.
21:20They are very happy.
21:24They will certainly come to the opening match.
21:29The inaugural one of the league.
21:31So I can't wait to see them again.
21:33But definitely at San Siro.
21:34I am happy and proud.
