I'll put into this adventure all my professionalism and the will to do well."

"I talked with president (Enrico) Preziosi and he immediately convinced me. He decided to bet on the man, beside the player. I'm not making promises to the fans, only that I'll put on the pitch all the professionalism that I have always showed to have."
