“Physically I feel very good, right now I’m just missing match sharpness.
“I’d like to thank Catania, who gave me the opportunity to train.
“I’ve watched Udinese’s matches on television. We must manage to be a team from the first minute to the 90th.
“We need to always have great concentration. I’ve played in many roles and many formations but my position has always been as a deep-lying playmaker.
“Before the end of the transfer market I had contact with several teams, but I'm proud to have chosen this place.
“Di Natale? I have a wonderful relationship with him, we grew up together at Empoli. Soon he will start scoring again.
“I chose the number 20 shirt because in recent years I've worn number 10, and 10 plus 10 is 20.”
