Bolzoni: "A prize for my work"


After six appearances in European and Italian cup competitions, Francesco Bolzoni came on for Cristian Chivu in the second half of Cagliari v Inter to make his Serie A debut for the Nerazzurri.

"I'm pleased to hear the coach's words," said the 20-year-old Italian midfielder when he heard himself described by Mourinho as a fantastic lad who deserved this moment. "Now we will see how it goes in the week because I have to have an operation. This debut was a prize, I have worked hard all season and I think that this is the reason why the coach decided to play me despite the injury.

"I was very excited today, I really wanted to play and this was my real debut. It was all different from the Coppa Italia or the Champions League," said Bolzoni, whose outing at the Sant'Elia was his first of the season. "I'm looking to the future now. I haven't trained much since March because of injury. It has been an unlucky season and I hope to do better next year.

"I have to thank Mourinho for teaching me how to be confident on the pitch, but I also have to thank all my team-mates who help me every day in training."
