I think of Milan every day, really. I was really happy at Milanello. I love the team, the staff, everybody who works there. I love the fans. I miss Milan badly, I miss Italy. I don't miss a single [Milan] game, and I don't understand those that say that Calcio is in difficulty. It's so competitive and complete.

I'm not silly enough to think I'm going to change the whole culture ... but I do have a belief that soccer can go to a different level.

I would never complain about the position I'm in or the attention I get. At the end of the day, I'm very lucky to have what I have and do what I do, but I don't see myself as any different from anyone else who works hard and is a dad and a husband.

One thing will not change - we will be going out to win.

People react to criticism in different ways, and my way is definitely to come out fighting.

Pelé was a complete player. I didn't see him live obviously, because I wasn't born.

I've always been proud to represent my country, whether it be World Cups, European Championships or just friendly games, I've always been a proud person, I'm very patriotic.
