It's not easy to say, but what he said about me, I said with an open heart towards him."He deserves it, he deserved it, and he will deserve it again.

He's an incredibly talented player."I remember his debut against Juve in Turin, with Fiorentina. Don't worry about the rest, I'll take responsibility if necessary.'"He already had the weight of his father's surname, so it was as if he had to leave with 30 extra kilos in his backpack."I didn't think it was right; he should have been Federico, not his father, Enrico.

He managed to prove himself, and he will succeed again."I think we need such pure talents, which are sometimes criticised. But in the end, talent is talent, it comes out in difficult moments."Like what happened to him last year (at Liverpool), but look how he is coming out (of it)."We talk often, he's in a great team and if he's there, it's because he deserves to be there.
