I'm extremely pleased
especially considering we've had a world-class player in Italy this year.
I'm very happy and want to thank my teammates, above all,
because they've made it possible for me to win this award.
We've rounded off the season in style today,
so it's been a wonderful evening.
The fans have always shown us their love and support in games.
We've felt we've let them down on occasion
when we possibly could've reached the next level,
but that's how it's gone and we wanted them to enjoy it today.
We managed that and they enjoyed themselves.
I'm grateful to them for the banner after the warm-up.
I can still see it in my head now.
It was so unexpected and I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
I'm so happy here.
I can feel that love from the fans and enjoy life in the city.
I'm thrilled to be part of this squad,
I get on well with the coach and the club as a whole,
all of which helps you produce the goods on matchday,
so a heartfelt thank you to everyone.
The Italy squad will be announced tomorrow,
so if I'm selected, I'll head there full of excitement
and holidays will wait until after the 11th.
If I'm not picked, I'll be straight off on holiday.
