“The first year I was playing one game at a time but not two in a row,” he told Spanish outlet Decano Deportivo.
“Montella didn’t rely on me and I wasn’t doing well.
“The second year began badly because I was completely left out and for two months I trained by myself.
“I'm sorry that I didn’t enjoy the entire two seasons in Florence, but in the end I was happy and the fans loved me.
“The return to the Betis? Watford also made me an offer. Money is important, but my heart wanted something else and I couldn’t go against it.”
