Zaniolo: It’s hard not to be arrogant when you become famous at a young age, but now I am a completely new person

Udinese forward Zaniolo was interviewed recently and talked about how he restarted his career in Wuji.

Zaniolo told DAZN: "I am more peaceful now. In the past, I was always eager for success, pursuing perfection and even overexerting myself. Now I have found a balance point to keep myself calm off the court. I have a wonderful family, which allows me to temporarily put aside my thoughts on the court. No matter how good or bad the game is, as long as I see my son's smile, all worries disappear. I now know how to withdraw and spend all my time with my family."

"I dream of representing Italy. Participating in the World Cup is the answer that all players will give, but this should not become an obsession. My focus must be on playing for Udinese every day. Gattuso said that the door to the national team is open to everyone. After scoring twice against Porto, I felt so lost. This is the most important mistake for young people to avoid, but it is really not easy to stay humble. You must have a social circle that is not motivated by interests and truly cares about you."

"I can give you a card. The advice from Mada and Pio Esposito is that as outstanding young stars, they should stay with people who really care about them and give them trust."

"I suffered a serious knee injury against Juventus in Rome. It was a big blow. After recovering, my left knee was injured again, and I couldn't accept it psychologically. Later, I gradually digested the incident, and after a full year of rest, I was rejuvenated. "

"My girlfriend and children are living in Rome. I will not repeat the celebration against Atalanta at the Stadio Olimpico. Now I apologize to everyone who was offended at that time. It is inevitable to make mistakes in life, and you can never predict the future. "
