England goalkeeper Joe Hart is enjoying life at Torino and looks set to become an idol of the fans at the Stadio Olimpico. The 29-year-old has been talking to La Stampa, about his first few months at the club.
 

He explained that; “They say that British players struggle to adapt in Serie A but I want to enjoy the experience of the whole season. We have so much quality in our team and I don’t see that much difference between Serie A and the Premier League; you should never underestimate any opponent”.
 

Hart then went on to speak about the fans in his adopted home, stating that; “At Wembley I could hear my name being sung in a strange accent, I looked and saw they were Torino supporters. I’ve never seen fans like them and it’s fantastic when we play at home. I work to make them happy because they pay to see us play”.

On his relationship with coach Mihajlovic he explained that; “I have a very good rapport with the boss. I like how he teaches football and the fact that he pushes you hard but when you respond, he is quick to compliment”. Finally, on the rumours linking teammate Andrea Belotti with a move to the Premier League Hart replied; “He’s not asked me anything and if he did I would say nothing! Joking aside, we are just concentrating on this season and we don’t have time to think about anything else”.
