Keisuke Honda admits he faces a big season at AC Milan.
The Japan international arrived in January from CSKA Moscow.
"I only joined the group yesterday after my holiday," he told 1495sports. "I need to continue to train in order to get into better shape ahead of the new season.
"I think we need to improve as a team because we can't keep on playing like we did last year.
"Our objectives? We'll see. The group seems to be in good spirits, but we just have to try and do our best.
"This next year is going to be an important one for Milan and for me personally."
