The Brazilian naturalised Italian striker, Amauri, spoke about the future to Sky Sport 24: " The holidays were good to me, because I reflected on a such a negative season and recharged my batteries. I refound my enthusiasm. It was not easy, last year was difficult. I had to show what I am worth. I know my value, I started from scratch. I want to do it for me and for my team. But we started well this season. I'll try everything to score 20 goals, as the fans asked".

"I have always been tranquil, the club decides the market. I heard the market rumors, but it doesn't change anything. Del Neri? He always says what he thinks, and he's very clear with everybody. He treats all of us equally". ".

On the national team: "In the past I was a bit annoyed about the fact that people spoke about my passport, if I deserved to be capped or not. Now there is no problem because I am Italian. If I'll be capped, I'll take up the offer with all my heart. If not, I will continue doing my job and carry on. I have been living in Italy for 10 years, I pay my tax. I paid more tax in Italy than in Brazil. I feel Italian and if I am called I will respond like an Italian citizen".
