Danish AC Milan interview with Simon Kjær, which was broadcast on September 12, 2021. Read the English translation below.
You are 32 years old. You have been in top football for many years. In the 4 biggest
leagues. Do you ever feel you are better than you are now?
Simon Kjær: "No - I do not really feel that. I feel I have come to a good place in my life,
and a good place in my career where I am challenged every day.
At the same time, I also have the experience now
that knows what I need to do because I have the greatest chance of success."
Simon Kjær: "My body has to be in the best shape so I can play. But at the same time,
I'm still hungry. I still feel like I can keep optimising on small details,
both physically and mentally in the game."
- Simon Kjær, Danish defender at AC Milan
Simon Kjær: "I feel that all the experience I have taken with me from all the clubs
I have been to, both off the pitch but also on the pitch.
There I can contribute. There's no place I feel more secure than on the pitch.
This is where I am at my best and the battles where it all stands and balances -
where there is in reality also a lot to lose -
this is where I find the most peace and security."
"And to be able to play football matches where there is everything to win but also everything to lose
- it gives me motivation and it is something that means a lot to me."
