I love it in Udine, no doubt about it, but I am clearly pleased to read that other sides are interested in me.

I wasn't a washout before, and I'm not a phenomenon now. I'm a player who, when he's called upon, is almost always there.

I don't go out there to score goals, as I am just as happy if I provide an assist for a teammate.

Would I go back to Napoli? It'd be wonderful even to just know those fans had thought of me. I left unfinished business there.

Playing at Juventus is an important step in my career. It is a very big club.

I am accustomed to making the most out of my opportunities.

I was forced to leave my hometown, and Napoli sold me to Juventus.

There's always competition in the national team.

Everyone has the right to a peaceful life.

With Conte, it was back-breaking both in training and in games.

Chelsea are a very physical and technical side.

I know my talents well - I know my head well - so when I go onto the pitch, I know perfectly what I have to do.

Inter have some great players, and they are a team who will fight for the Scudetto, along with Napoli.

Even though I am at Turin and think about Juve, for me, Napoli is Napoli, and it is my home.

Juve's secret is that we always believe, up until - even beyond - the 90th minute.

Just naming Batistuta gives me goosebumps!

I just focus on working hard and play with serenity.

Wayne Rooney has always made a great impression on me, even though I have only ever seen him on television.

I was brought on and scored, so I will never forget my Champions League debut.

This is the Italian national team; there's no need to give caps away. If the coach calls up certain players, it's because he's convinced they can give a big hand, and that's why I'm here.
