And Udinese has a very good team and we can enjoy football and be a dark horse in the league."

I'm doing my best with the utmost humility and I believe that just by following the coach, who, believe me, is great, we can do well. The team is strong.

About the national team

This is what The highest level one can aspire to. We miss the World Cup. "

About the experience in Atlanta

"You said I left Bergamo because of a quarrel with Gasperini? This is completely false. Our relationship is normal and respectful, and he is one of the strongest coaches in football today. I left because I wanted more playing time and wanted to be an integral part of the team. Atalanta was number one in January, and I had Lookman, Deceitra Ray and Reitgui in front of me, so the space was limited. Gasperini is amazing; Runjajic's work culture reminds me of him, they are completely focused on it. "

About the experience in Florence

" Said that I left Totti's rented house Because he thinks the house brings bad luck? Talk nonsense every day. Totti is an icon, a legend and a symbol of Rome. "

" I confided in a friend that I regretted celebrating wildly after scoring against Roma when I was playing for Atalanta? That was a reaction to the situation I was in: I had played very little and that goal was liberating for me, like If I could go back in time, I wouldn't celebrate like that. I apologize to anyone who felt offended. "
