From his farewell to Las Palmas - "A duty as a father and husband" - to his love for Milan, both the club and city: "My three years at Milan are worth ten". Kevin-Prince Boateng works now, not only as a football player, but also to "help the youngsters to become men" with an important fight: "Racism? I'd like my son to grow without knowing this word". To La Gazzetta dello Sport, the midfielder has started from there: "What would I suggest? An ad-hoc VAR for the racists in the stadiums. There are a thousand cameras, also directed towards the fans, why not using some of these for that? Who makes a mistake, pays for it. For the players playing abroad, Serie A could be an objective, but the racism limits its appeal. We shouldn't get surprised they choose to go elsewhere".
It was hard, to leave Las Palmas last summer: "Leaving has been the toughest decision I've made after the goodbye to Milan. There was everything, a young group and a fantastic atmosphere. I'll stay here at Eintracht for three years, like my contract tells".
"Ancelotti? What a shock... I'm sorry, but there seems to always be a first time. He'll get back" tells the former Milan player that dreams to see Carletto again on Milan's bench: "What a dream, they couldn't have a better coach. Montella? In some clubs, where you need to win, the bench becomes a "warm place" before you even sign. They fired Allegri years ago... It's part of the game, for everyone of us". In the meantime, there have been encouraging signs during the derby: "Against AEK it didn't go well but I've seen a good Milan against Inter. Icardi unfortunately plays on the other side, he's one of the best in the world. Bonucci, Gigio and Suso are the only ones able to make a difference. I don't see a lot of grant though".
About Leo Bonucci, Boateng says: "At Turin there were many champions, he's now the leader at Milan and there could be some difficulties. He'll show with the time he's still one of the best, I'm sure about it". The real problem of this Milan is the absence of people like Berlusconi and Galliani: "They've made history, Maldini Kakà and other have made it on the pitch. Legends, but they're not there anymore! We must support this ownership and the players. I was satisfied about the mercato but there was so many names! It's been a problem. People have talked so much about Aubameyang, one of the best in Europe. It's normal to remain disappointed".
About a mercato memory on the cousins from Inter: "It's true, they've looked for me but there only was Milan for me. I could also have chosen other teams, not only Inter. I'm a man of my word though". A comment on his future: "What will I do in ten years? I hope to be a great agent, that puts the person's interests ahead. I've missed that until I met Eduardo, my current agent. I'd like to be an exemple for the youngsters".
