THE FUSE

Reflecting on those difficulties, the 27-year-old striker said to Tuttosport: "There were several things that didn't work. For me, it was something more personal. I think my mind was a bit elsewhere: I wanted to return to Juventus. It's also an episode in a player's career: not every season can be positive, we can say that. For me, it was a year in which I learned something: I had injuries, my first injuries, but luckily I was able to recover from all of them. I think it's due to all these things, but now it's a new championship, it's a new chapter for me. So I think it's a new version of me, let's say."
