Diego Perotti spoke of his renaissance at Genoa and claimed he joined the club so he could “take flight” again.
The Argentinean came to the Italian team last summer from Sevilla, and with three goals and four assists spread over 26 appearances so far, he is establishing himself as one of the most reliable Grifone players.
“I came to Genoa so I could take flight again,” he told Spanish paper Marca.
“I never doubted my talents, and I knew that the injuries would pass in due time. I'm enjoying the moment.
“I came here so I could start on the preparatory training for the season from the first day. I needed to train harder to see how my body was going to take certain levels of pain.
“I adapted well to the new language and the new championship. I feel comfortable, and I'm confident because I picked up the kind of football rhythm that I needed to show that I wasn't over as a player.
“As for Sevilla, I must thank the club for how they behaved with me and for their availability. Now I'm in a new place. I needed to change so I could start from scratch.”
Finally, the winger touched upon a personal dream of his own.
“I wish to return to the national team. I train and I play with that opportunity in mind. For any Argentinean player, that is the summit.
“From where I stand it's not an easy task, but I won't be short of drive.”
