"I play where the mister and the team need me. This is what comes first out of everything.
"In any case, I am a second striker. I don't like playing with my back to goal. I prefer to be in the middle of the action, starting from distance."
When asked for his reaction to the compliments he has received from Gigi Del Neri, Quagliarella said: "They are great words. I want to thank him again.
"Every day he shows me with facts that he appreciates my play. There is no story with Del Neri: he plays who is best in form."
