“If the Coach said I'll have other chances, then I am very happy. It's a dream come true just being here playing for Italy.

“The group is fantastic, full of excellent players and above all very likeable men who welcomed me into the squad. I want to thank them for that.

“I hope that I am in the running for Euro 2012, but for the moment I am simply happy at making my debut.

“It all happened so quickly and I hope to continue doing well with Roma to convince Cesare Prandelli I deserve to be here.”
