About Inter Milan's goal against Barcelona
" I don't remember what I said to Damian at the time, but there must be communication. Even when I was behind 2-3, I was not angry because they were very strong and we had almost no chance to shoot in the second half. I was like, go ahead, there is no difference between 2-3 and 2-4 anyway. I wanted to wait there for the ball to come and finally score a goal. It was a wonderful The moment, we longed to reach the finals, and that night was unforgettable. "
You went to the Champions League with a hole sneaker. "I made a hole in my shoes because my toenails turned black and I was uncomfortable running. If I didn't run smoothly, I could get injured. So I decided to make a hole in my shoes and I kept wearing them. The hole was played before the match against Verona in November, and I have been wearing these shoes ever since. For me, comfort is the most important thing, not the beauty. Many people would make holes at the heels because they might have blisters, and I made holes on the toe. "
Recalling the practice of playing football when I was young "I am an older generation, and I always play football regardless of time, regardless of weather. Seeing the children now train at dinner time, I think of the past, when we always play football at any time and under any conditions."

"Hard work will always pay off, even if not every time you win. I like to put in my efforts, otherwise I will feel unsatisfied. Set goals and fight for it, and give it all even when you are disappointed. This is what I insist on: always give it all. When I retire, I hope there is no regrets."
Which coach do you work best with?

I mentioned many times that my mindset wasn't completely online there, but he gave me the chance and DiFrancisco gave me a lot of space. Of course, there was little Inzaghi, who I worked with for seven years: we achieved many satisfying achievements, they taught me a lot of things, and in terms of relationships, I got along well with almost all the coaches."
Regarding the question of being selected for the national team
"I didn't receive any calls and didn't expect anyone. If I'm not on the roster, then that's it. Some of Spalletti's remarks made me uncomfortable, and he told me that I would only play against Norway and wouldn't consider me in the World Cup. I felt I was being used, and I don't know who Will be willing to give up others for just one national team game. "
Do you want to participate in the World Cup
"I hope Italy can advance to the World Cup, and if Gattuso calls me, I will be ready to play for the national team."
