It can be said that I have always admired Gasperini's tactical style, and at that time I thought his system was suitable for my characteristics: I like to assist in front and shoot through crosses.

He has made at least 15-20 calls in the past five days, repeatedly emphasizing that Roma is the most suitable club for me. As he expected, I now feel like returning home, and this peace of mind cannot be separated from his help. We are brothers and the friendship established since the Olympiacos period has lasted for eight or nine years. I am delighted to be able to reunite with the national team. He has always helped me and is a person I respect very much."
