Pazzini delighted by warm AC Milan reception

AC Milan forward Giampaolo Pazzini has thanked the Rossoneri fans after his heartfelt entrance in the last 10 minutes of the match against Udinese on Sunday.

The 30-year-old was brought on in the 80th minute in the 2-0 victory and received a warm reception as he replaced goal-scorer Jeremy Menez by the San Siro faithful.

“When you do not play with continuity it is difficult, but today when I came on you made me feel welcome. I did not expect it, it was a thrill! I thank you and embrace you,” Pazzini wrote on Facebook.

Pazzini has at times cut a frustrated figure at AC Milan, featuring sporadically this season, making only six substitute appearances.
