AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is proud of the impact of summer signing Alex.
The Brazilian was again outstanding in victory at Hellas Verona yesterday.
Galliani has been praised for signing Alex on a Bosman from PSG.
"Amazing, really a rock. He's super," enthused Galliani after the win.
"However, it was easy to see he would succeed here. For example, I tried sign Fernando Torres in 2002, Alex we tried in 2005. These players are important."
