“I hope he gets to play, no matter what club it's for.
“Italian players have to change their mentality.
“I'm hoping that 2015 is going to be a positive year for Italy, bringing us the qualification for Euro 2016 in France and allowing us to assemble a team of greater quality.
“I'm counting on the emergence of some new namea and the development of some of our current players, so that we can make all Italians proud.
“As for my farewell to Juventus, I had a very heavy heart last July.”
