“I started out in Italy in Serie B, then got to A with Cagliari and now Roma. My wife is Italian, so naturally this is a very special game for me,” said the midfielder in his Press conference.
“Plus I have to play well so I can mock my friend Florenzi in Rome. That’s if we win, of course. We can’t lose, or Florenzi will make fun of me!
“The Azzurri don’t have the likes of Francesco Totti, Alessandro Del Piero or Fabio Cannavaro anymore, but that means nothing.
“They are a physically strong side and Antonio Conte built them like a block of cement.”
