After speaking about Pipita's abilities as a child, the former Torino defender revealed details about the Argentine's personal life in Turin.
"He appreciates the lifestyle of Turin and the people there," the 38-year-old told Tuttosport. "He lives in the centre and we go out for dinner without problems.
"What are his favourite restaurants? Lampara, Catullo and my shop. A dinner with Gonzalo is brilliant, but in the end I always pay.
"Pipita is a decent guy, sincere and genuine. You know when you are happy and when he isn’t. He loves to joke around, except when he loses: when this happens it is better to remain silent!
"His weight? Yes, yes I did have a laugh at the jokes. It had already happened in Naples, where he had responded to the largest critics with 36 goals.
"He loves pasta, which remains unique in Italy and also meat. Fillet with curry is one of his favorite dishes."
In concluding the interview, Fernandez also revealed plans to go to the site of the Superga tragedy with the Juventus striker.
"We will go to Superga soon. We've talked about this several times with Gonzalo and his brother Nicolas."
