Was I sad to leave Italy? A little, yes, mostly because we are happy here. But I want to win here: this year Olympiacos turns 100 years old and the goal is to win the championship. I will be the second Italian to do it after Leandro Greco. It is a source of pride. And when they approached me, I didn’t hesitate.”
For his dream:
“To win a World Cup with Italy. And the title with Olympiakos”.

“My best memories at Inter are the two championships I won with the under-16 and under-17 teams and my Serie A debut against Spal. Conte gave me my debut. We were a very strong team: me, Esposito, Oristano. Inter was my life for a long time.”
For his presence in the Italian national team of Hope:
“The captain’s armband is a source of pride and I won’t hide it: we want to win the European Championship. In the last two, we were eliminated once in the quarter-finals and once in the group stage. I would like to finish this journey that started in the under-15 team with a win, I will give it my all.”
