“At first, when we were talking about this possibility, I took into consideration many factors. First of all for my family, fortunately technology helped us, I spoke to the coach and transmitted my passion. I work to get ready when the mister needs it. I don’t feel like listing rejected clubs. I made my decision with my family. When I was a kid, I looked at Alex Del Piero.
Since I was young, I watched the Italian championship on TV. It is a competitive championship, among the best in the world. I have already played under the guidance of Maresca, I can play in these teams. I haven’t had a chance to talk to Ranieri yet. I tried to keep me in shape, until now the workouts went very well. I feel better than athletic condition. Clearly he’ll have to improve. As for Monday, I’d like to say yes, but it doesn’t depend on me.
For me age is a number. I always listen to my legs, until there are signs of problems, I will continue to do what I can. Cremonese? After speaking with property and coach, the goal is to maintain the category. Even at Leicester it was so, then clearly you try to give the most in each match. This is football, anyone can beat anyone. I saw both games, I was struck by the spirit of sacrifice. We know how difficult it will be to achieve the goal. As an attacker you want to help your companions, but the goal is the team result.”.
