“It is not easy to win the Europa League and I hope they also win the Scudetto, but if not this year it will be in the next two or three. They will continue to fight to win.”

“Atalanta is a team that will always remain in my heart, like Palermo. The rosanero gave me the opportunity to shine in Italian football, while at Goddess they allowed me to play great, unforgettable games.

“Reaching those levels with a small club is incredible. I still notice the affection of the people, I miss them a lot and I would like to visit Bergamo more.”
