00:00I went to my head and said, what is really happening now?
00:03First communication is San Siro.
00:05For someone like me, who is a Milanese,
00:07I have a whole life...
00:09Hi, I'm Lorenzo Torriani
00:10and this is my episode of Homegrown.
00:23Lollo, you're very young, but you've already had many years of Milan.
00:26I want to live with you.
00:28Starting from the first record in Rosso-Nero,
00:30but also a little bit earlier,
00:32when you've started playing ball.
00:34Where, where, at that age?
00:36I started very soon, at the age of almost 5 years old.
00:40I was in my country team,
00:42and then I came immediately to Milan.
00:45I called him immediately to Milan.
00:47The country team, to contextualize it...
00:50Cologna, Cologna,
00:51the FC Cologna,
00:52which now, unfortunately, is not anymore.
00:54I was in the conference with Pimodrone
00:55and then I came immediately here.
00:57I remember still a game,
00:59it was a tournament,
01:00which was organized in Cologna,
01:02where there was an observator of Milan,
01:05who came from my father,
01:07and told me that they were very interested in me,
01:09and my father was all excited.
01:10They didn't believe me.
01:12Then I was very young,
01:13so I knew at that age,
01:15I really knew what it was.
01:17My children have always done sports,
01:21so I always liked it that they did sports,
01:25but no one would imagine
01:27that then it would become their profession.
01:31It's been...
01:32Even now I don't believe it, honestly.
01:35Every time we came home,
01:37after an allelment,
01:38after an allelment,
01:39after an allelment,
01:40after an allelment,
01:41we looked and said,
01:42Lorenzo,
01:43what's going on with these people?
01:44They seemed extraterrestri,
01:45even because he was in the door
01:47he was holding the chair,
01:48he looked at the aeroplane
01:49that passed,
01:50because he was just a child,
01:51he had six and a half years old.
01:53How do you feel
01:54in your childhood,
01:55how do you feel
01:56about the color of Milan
01:58for this reason?
01:59Tanto,
02:00because,
02:01as I said before,
02:02I grew up,
02:03I grew up in Milan
02:04and I did only Milan.
02:05In his journey,
02:07obviously,
02:08every time we went
02:09to a field
02:10to do a few tournaments,
02:11there were observers
02:12who systematically
02:13asked us
02:15the possibility
02:16of going to play
02:18in the Inter.
02:20My curiosity,
02:22our curiosity
02:23also brought us
02:24to do this.
02:26We were here,
02:28but,
02:29in a short time,
02:30with a few
02:32little ones,
02:33we immediately
02:34chose Milan
02:35because it was
02:36for the environment,
02:37for the society,
02:39the history,
02:40a bunch of things.
02:42Today,
02:43the choice
02:44that we made
02:45has given us
02:46right.
02:51In these years,
02:52you've seen
02:53many players
02:54from the first squadron.
02:55Is there anyone
02:56who has remained
02:57more
02:58or maybe
02:59you've discovered?
03:00Well, I think
03:01he's still here
03:02among us,
03:03Mike.
03:04I think
03:05it's like
03:06having a
03:07team
03:08with you,
03:09with you,
03:10with you,
03:11with you,
03:12with you,
03:13with you,
03:14with you.
03:15with you,
03:17with you,
03:18with you,
03:19with you,
03:20with you,
03:22with you,
03:23with you,
03:24with you,
03:25with you,
03:28with you,
03:29with you,
03:30with you,
03:31with you,
03:32you,
03:34with you,
03:35with you,
03:36with you,
03:37with you,
03:39with you,
03:40with you,
03:41with you,
03:42with you,
03:44with you,
03:45with you.
03:46with you,
03:48with you,
03:49with you.
03:50in front of the squad, so I think that among our colleagues, if we can call it so,
03:55this type of union is very important, because at the end you're alone, it's a solitude,
04:01while with the others I've always had a great relationship,
04:04both with Noah and with the Apo, in tournée, who was one of the first,
04:09after what happened, after the rigors, to meet me, to compliment me,
04:14I think that this is beautiful, that there is no competition,
04:19there is no competition, there is no competition, there is no competition,
04:21there is no competition, there is no competition, there is no competition,
04:23there is no competition, so I'm happy.
04:25This is beautiful, as it is beautiful to remember that
04:27that summer that for you was really a trampoline,
04:29we will arrive shortly, very interesting,
04:32what you were saying is the psychological side,
04:34according to me, but my impression, I'm interested in more,
04:37the role of the coach is perhaps more psychological side
04:40than technical side, yes, certainly.
04:42Second me, 65-70% at the level of mental, very psychological,
04:48and a 30%, yes, at the level of technical,
04:52but I think that if the coach doesn't have a mentality
04:56between 90 minutes, because it can happen
04:58anything from a moment to another,
05:00I think that it can happen to a certain level.
05:02And this is a question not easy that I make,
05:05in the sense that you are perhaps the coach
05:08that has grown more in the last year,
05:10let's say, in the gerarchies,
05:12we will talk about this estate
05:14and the fantastic experience that you have had,
05:16but you have not played in the games,
05:18but you have not played in the games,
05:20and that moment is for a coach
05:22that doesn't play so much when you are called in cause,
05:24what does it happen to you?
05:26What do you say about psychology?
05:28No, it's very hard, very difficult.
05:30Then, yes, as you said,
05:32I had almost a year and a half
05:34that I didn't play,
05:35because of opportunities
05:36and also choices that I had to respect.
05:39And I think that the mental state
05:41was important for me,
05:43because at the end I worked,
05:45I continued to work,
05:46I knew that before or after
05:48it was this moment,
05:50and at the end I was right.
05:52I was right.
05:53I was the oldest one,
05:54I was younger,
05:55I was younger than 7 years old,
05:56but in reality,
05:57we don't feel that much
05:59because we are very close,
06:01close,
06:02sometimes he is with his friends,
06:04he is with my friends,
06:06we are a bit more friends than brothers.
06:09But we don't talk about soccer,
06:11in reality.
06:12We always try to break
06:14this side,
06:16because it's already difficult
06:18for him,
06:19he always goes around,
06:20I've always asked about football,
06:22about Milan,
06:23about how we feel,
06:24so I try to do a bit of that outside.
06:27But he knows that there are,
06:28because I've always been with mine,
06:30going around for Europe
06:32when I was little,
06:33in tournaments,
06:34in tournaments,
06:35in tournaments,
06:36he knows that there are.
06:40The last year,
06:41for sure,
06:42for me,
06:43for you,
06:44was the Under-17.
06:45Great championship,
06:46we arrived until the end
06:47in the end,
06:48in 2005,
06:49with Spina,
06:50with Zeroli,
06:51with Perrucci.
06:52We were a great group,
06:53we had a great championship,
06:54with people that I've known
06:56for many years.
06:57I think this was also
06:58a positive side
07:00within the group,
07:01which,
07:02we've already made it
07:03in the finals,
07:04and then,
07:05unfortunately,
07:06it went like that,
07:07there were several episodes,
07:08but this is football,
07:09unfortunately.
07:10What did you think?
07:11Give me a little bit of
07:13the feelings
07:14and how you
07:16presented the first
07:17call of Pioli?
07:18Because you enter
07:19in the Milan 1st,
07:20at the end of the last
07:21season,
07:22the last season of Pioli,
07:23so the last season,
07:24with the first invitations,
07:25Genoa and Cagliari,
07:26you reduce,
07:27let's say,
07:28a lot of field,
07:29but with a lot of ambition.
07:30Of course,
07:31because I started everything
07:32from various,
07:33how can I say,
07:34in the first squadron,
07:36because,
07:37maybe,
07:38one time,
07:39mancava a portiere,
07:40so I was going to open the buque,
07:41I thought,
07:42and then,
07:43at the end,
07:44I was able to go a little bit.
07:45Before,
07:46in Milan Genoa,
07:47I call Mr. Ragno
07:48and I say,
07:49look,
07:50you need to come down
07:51to do a video,
07:52with a smile,
07:53with a smile,
07:54and I say,
07:55spoiler!
07:56I was like,
07:57I said,
07:58I said,
07:59now,
08:00the first invitations
08:01to San Siro,
08:02and then,
08:03for someone like me,
08:04who is a Milanese,
08:05who is a whole life,
08:06it was a great emotion,
08:07and then,
08:08I did a video,
08:09with all the entire team,
08:11and then,
08:12until then,
08:13I didn't actually get the call
08:14to San Siro.
08:15There is someone
08:16who,
08:17in those days,
08:18in general,
08:19staff,
08:20first squadron,
08:21players,
08:22had a word,
08:23a smile,
08:24a smile,
08:25that you remember
08:26not only the invitations,
08:27but also the journey
08:28the goal
08:30I think
08:31it was the Apo,
08:32Nava,
08:33who,
08:34when I saw down in the area,
08:35he said,
08:36how?
08:37He said,
08:38he said,
08:39but he said,
08:40he said,
08:41he said,
08:42that feeling
08:43because...
08:44...
08:45...
08:47...
08:48...
08:49...
08:50...
08:52...
08:53The beautiful estate that has passed, scaling the jerarchies,
08:56from the fact of playing a little bit in the summer,
08:58the first invocations were even the title,
09:00clearly for the fortune of Marco Sportiello,
09:02but Mr. Fonseca has given you so much confidence,
09:05you have paid it.
09:06What was the moment of the draft?
09:08What was the feeling that you remember in those days?
09:12The moment of the draft I think was the retreat here at Milanello.
09:17In the first training I tried to put it in the most possible
09:20in the most possible,
09:21both with Mr. who then gave me a great confidence,
09:23which is not easy.
09:25And in those games,
09:27if I'm wrong, the first presence in absolute
09:29is the second time with Rapid Vienna,
09:31right?
09:32That was the first one,
09:33who enters in the field very well,
09:35and so that first experience has brought you
09:38into the heart of the first team.
09:40Then what happens to Marco,
09:41unfortunately for him,
09:42in fortune,
09:43practically the first day of the draft,
09:45first game,
09:46and tell you who you find in front.
09:48In the first part I find a colossus
09:50of almost two meters.
09:54To see it from the end is fantastic,
09:56because you can see it from the PlayStation.
10:00Let's talk about it,
10:01of course.
10:02Let's talk about it.
10:03Let's talk about it.
10:04I've always seen it from the PlayStation
10:05and it's much bigger than what they say.
10:09It's beautiful.
10:11It's really beautiful.
10:13It's a unique feeling to play in a stadium
10:15and it was great,
10:17there were almost 60.000 viewers
10:19for one like me,
10:21who was used to it.
10:23It arrived at that moment,
10:24it arrived at the moment
10:25to enjoy it,
10:26and you enjoyed it.
10:27Second part,
10:28first it was good,
10:29good part,
10:30good plays.
10:31Second part,
10:32protagonist number one,
10:33you arrive to be the face
10:35of the victory of the Milan
10:36in the league with the Barca,
10:37paring two games.
10:39So,
10:40it was an emotion.
10:41It was fantastic.
10:42To tell you the truth,
10:43I remember the interview
10:44in the post part,
10:45you were very measured,
10:47very calm.
10:48Was it that one
10:49to the face
10:50or in reality there was another one?
10:51No, in reality,
10:52there was another one.
10:53But,
10:54I've always been one
10:55quite calm,
10:56even in the field,
10:57I can see,
10:58I can see,
10:59maybe,
11:00I feel pressure,
11:01even though I had to deserve everything.
11:03So,
11:04if I had played with the pressure
11:05or with the pressure
11:06maybe I wouldn't have done it.
11:08So,
11:09I mean,
11:10one of my strong points
11:11is just that,
11:12the serenity
11:13and enjoy the moment.
11:14One word also
11:15on the third
11:16of the tournament
11:17against the Real
11:18against the Real,
11:19we still have?
11:20They had Hendrik,
11:22there were...
11:23Not bad,
11:24too.
11:25Hendrik,
11:26there were Arda Gouler
11:27and Modric.
11:29And,
11:30for me,
11:31seeing these champions
11:32in front of me
11:33were,
11:34it was a dream.
11:35So,
11:36maybe the most beautiful moment
11:38was that,
11:39even at the end of the game,
11:41when I was able to meet Courtois,
11:44one of the biggest idols,
11:45one of the best players in circulation.
11:48And,
11:49I was able to change my mind
11:50and talk to me.
11:51It was very beautiful.
11:52It was a very good match.
11:53It was a great match.
11:54It was a great match.
11:55It was a great match.
11:56It was a great match.
11:57It was a great match.
11:58It was a great match.
11:59So,
12:00you have to stop.
12:01You have to say,
12:02Mike,
12:03it's not good.
12:04You have to go out the course.
12:05Champions.
12:06The first match with the Milan
12:07in Champions.
12:08I think,
12:09beyond the fact that
12:10the match isn't going well,
12:11you have a lot of emotions.
12:12No,
12:13no,
12:14I was a great emotion too.
12:15It was already seen
12:16that a little Mike
12:17was not good.
12:18I continued to go out
12:19and then I'd be able to save myself.
12:20I said no,
12:21no,
12:22I didn't enter.
12:23I said no,
12:24I said no,
12:25it was possible.
12:26I took the match.
12:27I said no,
12:28I was still lucky.
12:29I said no,
12:30I was going to go out.
12:31I was going to go out.
12:32I was going to go out.
12:33It was a success.
12:34I was going to go out.
12:35I was going out.
12:36I was going to go out.
12:37I remember San Siro's observations, it was really a lot of blood, and then when Urra was feeling it.
12:47It remained a few times because it was so much emotion, at a certain point I didn't understand anything.
12:53I had the cardiac headaches, but I honestly don't remember much.
12:58I remember his access to the entrance to the door when he was born.
13:05Paolo said to him that he was born in the 5th, he had comforted him.
13:10It was a moment that I still don't know. It's so much emotion.
13:26What has been growing for you to know the Serie C?
13:29You had the debut of three professionals in Champions League, then you also debuted in the 3rd Serie.
13:34Yes, in the 3rd Serie, I think many of us undervalued them a little bit.
13:39But I think it's, especially for us young people, very constructive.
13:42Because we play against people who have a lot of experience in various championships,
13:48such as Serie A and Serie B.
13:50And for a young man it's not easy.
13:52In the same way, playing in Serie C, it's a different football, it's more bad, less technical.
13:59How important do you have, according to you,
14:02you have already mentioned,
14:03the fact of putting yourself in front of professionals
14:05that have been done in categories,
14:06that make it difficult for you?
14:08But what project is Milan Futuro?
14:10And what do you expect from the guys who pass now from Milan Futuro?
14:13At the level of growth?
14:14How much confidence do they have in this journey?
14:17I think, as an example you have made of Alex,
14:19I think it's important to Milan Futuro.
14:22Do you manage to do that level?
14:24Yes, of course.
14:26Because it's not the first ever,
14:28but it's not even the first team.
14:30So it gives you a lot of experience.
14:33And as I said before, it's another football.
14:35You, ex-bambino rosso-nero,
14:40that you have become the first team,
14:42you have played in the first team,
14:44you look at the camera,
14:45you look at the eyes of the kids
14:46that now start at 5 or 6 years old,
14:48not only in Milan in general,
14:50and tell you what it is important to transmit
14:54to make them believe in what they are doing
14:57and then be able to live their dreams.
15:00I can give you a advice
15:02for how I've been doing it,
15:04to believe until the end.
15:06To work, to work sodo,
15:08it will also be losses,
15:09but it's important to rise up,
15:11but to believe,
15:12to believe,
15:13because if you work sodo,
15:15you will come back to the end.
15:16I'll see you later.
