Milan midfielder Yacine Adli reveals his admiration for Roberto Baggio

Milan midfielder Yacine Adli wants to show his qualities next season.

The 21-year-old attacking midfielder joined

Milan

from Bordeaux in 2021 but he spend last season at Bordeaux on a loan deal.

Bordeaux

had a disastrous campaign, finishing bottom and relegated to the second division. They were later relegated to France third tier due to financial issues.

Adli

at his official presentation on Monday told reporters:

”I've been wanting to arrive here in the best shape possible. I already knew some of my teammates, but I have to adapt to the new surroundings.

"My French teammates have adapted quickly to the club. I arrive with a different experience and in the team of the Italian champions. I arrive with humility and respect to achieve the greatest goals.

"I followed very closely the Milan games last season, and I saw a strong, tight, collective effort, especially towards the end of the season when no false moves could be made.

"A successful team like Milan can only aspire to [win] the Scudetto. It's not easy because in Italy there is a lot of competition. Once again this year we will try to confirm ourselves as Italian champions, we will try to defend this title in the best possible way.”

Adli who is the Paris Saint-Germain youth product has talked about his admiration for Roberto Baggio.

"I had the chance to train with Timothy Weah [at PSG], and he always advised me to watch Roberto Baggio as an example because I could learn a lot from him – and so I did,"

Adli said.

"Great champions like him and Zidane are players to look up to but without trying to emulate them because [their status] is unattainable.

"I believe it's important to create your own path and work every day to get better."
