I started playing very young in Livorno FC, my hometown football team, playing in the Third Division.
After having played for three championships as a reserve, in the summer of 2003 I won the UEFA Under-19 European Championship together with my team-mates and I became one of the protagonists of the triumphant cavalcade of Livorno FC towards the Second Division during the 2003/04 season, which culminated with the historic promotion of Livorno FC to the First Division.
In 2003, Rome FC acquires my registration, but in 2004 I was given back during the transfer window, since at that time Rome FC could not shed market operations because of the financial crisis.
After a few days I was sold to Juventus. |
