What convinced me was the club's project, which seems ambitious to me, and therefore fits my personal goals.I am a person who likes challenges and big goals, like the ones this club has, so I am happy to have come to this team.The interview with the coach was then what made me take the final decision to wear this shirt. I am very focused on performance, the important thing for me is to go and help the team and the other players giving my best. Nani, who is also one of the players who have inspired me the most during my career, I think he is fundamental in that sense, in fact he is an element that will surely give a great hand to Venice".
