For his first months at Olympic talked to Lorenzo Pirolainterviewing Spanish Relevo.

The Italian defender made an account of his way to Piraeus so far, expressing his satisfaction with what he has achieved at an individual and collective level, while also referring to the Jose Luis Mendilibar, Life in Greece and … Formula 1!

In detail what he said:

“I am very happy, I didn’t expect to be for seven months here at this level, both individually and collectively. I have found time and it was not easy, because I entered a Group that had already shown its value, winning the Conference League.

Last year, my teammates defeated Fenerbahce, Aston Villa and Fiorentina. It was a worthy success in Europe.

The playoffs in the league increase the difficulty. If you think about it, the strongest teams play twice in the regular duration, two in the cup and two in the playoffs.

Here, you play to win titles, it is not enough for a good track, you have to conquer trophies, that is the goal.

THE Mendilibar He is a decisive coach, convinced of his ideas. You have to do what you ask for, but when you start and follow him in everything, he gives you confidence. I became a member of a group that had proven its value but I was able to integrate. He is fearless, he puts the kids, those who deserve to play. It is very good at creating consistency between us. In fact, even who do not play so much, they do not complain.

I’m a normal guy, I’m not going out, I don’t go to a party, I think of my family, my dogs, my countryside, my job. I make a quiet life. I see a lot of ball, Italy and Spain. Between Real and Barceloma, I choose Real, for no particular reason.

I love Formula 1to say so, if I had to choose between football and F1, I would choose the second. If I wasn’t a footballer, I would like to be a driver. My passion comes from my father.

I and my wife are so happy in Greece that for the time I don’t think about returning to Italy. If the results come to the court, you can enjoy life with more peace. My parents are close, they have already come to see me playing in Europe and in the league. They were happy to come, it’s fine here, it’s not as cold as in Italy. ”
