« I want to give 100% to the team – he said – The Serie A has always been a dream ever since I started to play. I really hope to help the team, to have a good season and learn as much as I can. I really think our union will be our main strength. Everybody really got along fine from day one, they is great respect for everyone and we’re all eager to do well ».
