USA national team player Sergino Dest claimed that the need for minutes before the World Cup played a key role in his decision to leave Barcelona for Milan.
What did Sergino Dest say?
Sergino Dest believes he has a great opportunity to succeed with the Serie A champions. The decision to trade Catalunya for Milan was not at all a tough one, especially since he was not part of Xavi’s first team plans.
In an interview on Milan’s official website, the USMNT star said he needed to get minutes for the World Cup. According to Sergino Dest, he needs to play, not only for the World Cup, he just wants to play always. They gave him the perfect opportunity so Dest didn’t even think twice. Sergino like, he has to do it, he has to play.
The USMNT star says it was an easy decision. Everything happened very quickly, like in one day. I had to make a decision very quickly to change my life – to move to another club, to another country, to another culture. Sergino Dest loves this club and it’s the club he wanted to play for when he was younger and he thinks it’s a good move for him and a good chance to play again.
A little about the topic
As one of the Markist players in Gregg Berhalter’s USMNT, it is important for Sergino Dest to play regularly in the World Cup. There are only a couple of months until the tournament in Qatar and players appearing in the Middle East will have to hit the ground with a run.
What will happen after that for Sergino Dest?
After injury to Italian footballer Alessandro Florenzi just a few days ago, Sergino should have plenty of opportunities to impress AC Milan. Sergino Dest will also have a chance to show what he can do in the Champions League, with Stefano Pioli’s sideline being the Blues, Dinamo Zagreb and Red Bull Salzburg.
