Fabio Borini has revealed that his move to Milan was partly motivated by a desire to boost his Italy prospects.

Borini was part of the Italy squad that reached the Final of Euro 2012 after an impressive run for Roma in front of goal, but he failed to feature at the tournament and only has one cap to date.

“I’m feeling very good in Rossonero, I’m adjusting to a group with several nationalities,” the former Sunderland striker told Radio 105.

“I’m feeling very good in Rossonero, I’m adjusting to a group with several nationalities,” the former Sunderland striker told Radio 105.

“I felt I needed to go back to Serie A, also for my international chances. It’s much more complicated when you play abroad.

“There’s an incredible enthusiasm, it’s happy to see San Siro full. I’ve been a bit of a translator as I speak good English.

“Some of them are very young so I have to play a double role here, but that’s fine.

“The matches at Milanello? Sometimes you play to the death, it depends on what’s at stake. If we lose, we have to run more so the games in training become much more competitive.

“It’s also normal that training becomes more serious when you’re getting close to a game on Sunday.

“Pressure? I handle it easily, doing the things I usually do. I don’t read newspapers and live a normal life. When I get home, I’m able to unplug myself completely.”
