New Milan goalkeeper Pepe Reina intends to become the first number in the team of Gennaro Gattuso.

Despite the fact that many believe that ex-goalkeeper Napoli Pepe Reina will get a chance to become Milan's main goalkeeper only if Gianluigi Donnarumma leaves the team, the Spaniard himself is ready to fight for the status of the first number.

"I really like Giggio both as a goalkeeper and as a person," Reina said after Milan's victory over Barcelona in the International Champions Cup. "Despite my experience, I also have something to learn from him, and Antonio. I came to Milan not to play the role of "uncle-mentor" for the brothers Donnarumma, but to fight for a place in the first team. Each of us tries to prove himself from the best side, and Gennazzo Gattuso will eventually make his choice. I am very glad that I was in Milan. I like the atmosphere in the team and what the club's goals are.

To speak right now about the championship does not make sense - Juventus is stronger than all competitors. But we are only at the beginning of the road, and while we will fight for a place in the zone of the Champions League with Papoli, Lazio, Roma, Inter and Fiorentina ".

35-year-old Reina for his more than 18 years of professional career, played for Barcelona, ??Villarreal, Liverpool, Bavaria, Napoli and played 36 matches for the national team of Spain.
