“I understand his state of mind,” the former forward to QS. “Mine was just the same, maybe it even still is!
“When it comes time to stop, you realise that a period of your life has closed, it’s not a simple transition. You also miss the routine, training every day, the dressing room, that sort of thing.
"After Juve I went to learn a distinct and distant kind of football in Australia and also in India.
"They were wonderful experiences, and still even now I wonder what I will do in the future.
"I hope that Francesco will immediately find a place at Roma, to have a role that allows him to stay in the environment that he has been in ever since he was a child.
"Before joining Juventus, at least for me there was the Padova, he was always just Giallorossi."
