AC Milan midfielder Marco van Ginkel sees Michael Essien and Fernando Torres as role models.
Essien and Torres both joined the Rosonerri from English side Chelsea following a difficult spell last season.
Ginkel, who is a Dutch international is also on loan from Chelsea after struggling to make an impact following an injury-induced campaign.
The 15-year-old says he draws massive inspiration from the Ghanaian international who has suffered previous fate in the treatment room
ââ¬Å[Fernando] Torres and [Michael] Essien are also great role models, Iââ¬â¢ve seen them on TV and now Iââ¬â¢m playing with them. They are great players, and also really nice lads,â⬠he is quoted by Tribal Football.
ââ¬ÅMy team-mates complimented me after Sunday, it was good for my confidence,â⬠Van ââ¬ÅDe Jong is an inspiration for me, itââ¬â¢s wonderful to play with him.ââ¬
