Alex has hailed AC Milan's defensive options this season.

The Brazil defender welcomes the competition.

"There's competition between us centre-backs, but those who are out always talk to those who are on the pitch. We're a team and we have to help each other. You win and lose together.

“[Davide] Calabria is doing well, it's never easy to play for a team like Milan. Also [Mattia] De Sciglio, [Rodrigo] Ely and [Alessio] Romagnoli are doing well."
