Alessandro Matri hopes to work with new AC Milan coach Pippo Inzaghi.
Milan begin preseason under another new Coach in the form of former striker Inzaghi.
"I know him well, I've always respected him for his dedication to work, his great courage, the desire he had to return after too many injuries.
"Is he an example to follow? I hope so July 9 I should be present at Milanello. I hope to stay there, I'll do anything to earn another chance.
"Is Inzaghi in agreement? Honestly, we have not talked. It is a very delicate position, but I would love to have a second chance. I'll be ready, in any game, even more so in the [preseason US tournament] International Champions Cup.
"For my characteristics I can be used only as a central striker, but I want to continue to be important, even if away from Milan."
