“As a child, I started playing football at two-three years of age with my brothers, drawing a goal on the wall of our house,” he reminisced.
“When our parents found out, they wanted to kill us! I always played as a forward, I started on the left and then moved up front, also as a trequartista.
“The first thing I think about after scoring a goal is my dad. I dedicate all my goals to him.
“What should I improve on? My right foot because it’s not as good as my left and also my physical strength a little more. I started work on it here at Juve, in Argentina and at Palermo, I only did a bit.
“This is a good group, I’m very friendly with Higuain. We’re Argentine, we live near to each other and we spend a lot of time together.
“My idol? I had two: one was Del Piero and the other was Pirlo.
“I often spend time on penalties after training. Sometimes they’re key to unlocking maybe a close game.”
