"I started playing at four years old, in a team near my neighbourhood, Forese. When I think back and look at where I am now, it gives me motivation and pride. I owe and will owe everything to my family; they've made great sacrifices for me, like moving to Lecce this year. When I made my debut at San Siro for Milan against Fiorentina, my mother burst into tears,"
"I started in the Under-15s, my first call-up was against Slovenia, and I even scored. I immediately understood the importance of the Azzurri shirt; it was a wonderful feeling. I went up from the Under-16s with Zoratto, and then almost immediately moved up to the Under-17s with Coach Favo. We developed a great relationship, and we're still in touch today. We won that wonderful European Championship."
