"I should have arrived to Italy many years ago. Finally I have the opportunity to play here. I don't think this is a step backwards in my career, I believe this is a step forward for me. Italian football suits my game well and, as I said before, I have joined one of the big European clubs. English football is different to Italian but that doesn't mean that Italian is more simple."
“Inter is one of the top clubs in the world, with a great history and tradition. There was a new project in place and I immediately liked it. When Inter made an approach, there were many other clubs interested in me but not AC Milan. I'm happy to be here. I know the president has a long term plan and he wants to keep Inter at a high level.”
“I’ve always given my best regardless of whether I have the captain's armband. Last year I was able to watch many Inter games and I've had the opportunity to get to know my new team. I’ve never played in a three-man defence but the role of a defender remains the same whether you play with three or four in the line.”
"Even if I had stayed at United I would not have played in the Champions League. We will play in the Europa League. I don't regret joining Inter. A club like Inter always has important ambitions and we will just have to make this club proud.”
