He said: "When you're little you only think about playing, not about your surname. As my first memories as a child, I have the Vismara fields when I was at Milan.
"When you grow up you start to be more aware: first you see football as just a game, then you understand that it becomes a job. Now is the right time to take a leap and show off my qualities.
"(Alessandro) Nesta? I've done little training, but he's a great person and has great ideas. Scoring as many goals as possible is my goal."
