After World Cup 2010 in South Africa I will no longer play for la Nazionale.
Being called up by the Azzurri is a great source of satisfaction. There are so many strong young players with great personalities, and for me, it's nice to be here, even if I'm playing it by ear.
We are Italy. It's only right that there is competition in attack, like there is in every other role.
Roberto Mancini is putting his faith in me for the Nazionale and I am trying to prove on the field that I deserve that.
Enzo, my dad, supports Juventus, so that's my team and, obviously, Italy, who I've been fortunate enough to see win two World Cups.
There is not a chance that I could have a difference with Alessandro Del Piero.
I like people like Robert De Niro and Anthony Hopkins. And Gianfranco Zola, who played for Chelsea and Italy. He's an artist with his feet.
If you score against the Italians you deserve a goal.
The Italian Fabio Cannavaro, who was with Real Madrid when I played against him several times, was the best player in the world in 2006. He wasn't tall, but very quick and strong. He always knew his opponents well, as if he'd researched them.
There is certainly a future for Italian football, as we have pride, ability, determination, and after bad tumbles, we always find a way to get back on our feet.
When someone becomes a part of the Azzurri squad that has won a World Cup, they are like family, and they never abandon anyone.
It's an honour to play with the Italy jersey.
