AC Milan's Jashari: 'Allegri is a Master, Our Goal is Champions League Qualification'
Ardon Jashari has opened up about his adjustment period at AC Milan since his January arrival from Club Brugge, highly commending Massimiliano Allegri's guidance and detailing his personal ambitions at San Siro.
The Swiss midfielder, who has been gradually integrating into Allegri's squad, expressed profound admiration for the Milan head coach in an interview with Il Foglio.
“He is a master to me; I strive to learn as much as possible from him,” Jashari stated. “He possesses vast experience and often speaks with me. He advises me to push forward more, play with intensity, and shoot when opportunities arise, constantly encouraging me to improve, even during training.”
Jashari: ‘I’m at Milan to win – for myself, the team and the fans’
Jashari also noted the significant evolution of his positional role in recent years, emphasizing Allegri's crucial assistance in helping him adapt.
His aspirations at the club are straightforward.
“I am here to win – for myself, the team, and the supporters,” he affirmed. “I aim to give my absolute best every day, with enthusiasm and professionalism. I hope to wear this shirt for many years to come.”
Regarding immediate priorities, Jashari was equally explicit. With Milan currently sitting second in Serie A, six points behind Inter with eight matches remaining, the Swiss international understands the minimum objective.
“We must approach each game individually; our primary goal is to secure a return to the Champions League among Europe's most important clubs,” he declared. “We know that hard work is essential, but that does not deter us.”
