"Buffon's words were a great satisfaction, an honor, they made me happy and I thank him. They are an incentive to try to emulate him. After all, as a kid I was in love with Buffon and to him I owe the fact that he started as a goalkeeper. Then I follow Handanovic, but I try to take the best from everyone ".

I met him at different stages and he made a wonderful impression on me. I respect him for what he's doing, then only one will go in the door with the jersey of Italy".
