Chelsea loanee Mario Pasalic plays down AC Milan exit rumours
“I am happy for my debut”, Pasalic told goal.com.
“I think I played well. I came close to scoring twice. I’ve been waiting for this moment for very long time."
“I am not going to leave the club in January and rumours have not affected me. The way Montella treats me it’s enough to understand that the club have trust in me. Despite some disappointing results over the last few seasons, AC Milan remain a great club.”
The former Chelsea midfielder played half an hour against Pescara and has completely recovered from a back injury which had sidelined him for more than nine months.
“I am happy because I played 30 minutes and not just two or three. The last time I played with a club was on the 14th of February, I had only played one game with U-21 Croatia national team since then.”
