I think when you play for your country, in whatever sport it is, that's the biggest accomplishment in the world.
Before normal games I was always relaxed. But at the World Cup for Italy my heartbeat was always going a lot quicker.
I would come onto the field to warm up and the stadium would be shaking and those are feelings that are worth more than any trophies.
I can remember an Inter-Verona and we arrived at the stadium an hour and a half before kick-off and there were already 85,000 fans screaming our names. It sent shivers down your spine. I am proud of one thing and that is that I really gave all of my energy for those people.
My future is in footbal.
