I was born as a winger, then a coach arrived, Zeman arrived at Lazio, he tried me once as a central, I had never played as a central defense and he told me << You play here, you will be the owner of Lazio>>. I was 18/19 years old, I didn’t sleep at night but it changed my life. We were a young team, a little inexperienced but we had a lot of talent: Mihajlovic, Nedeved, Veron, Simeone. We we began to feel that we had an obligation to try to win. We have won the Italian Cup, the championship, the European Super Cup; I personally won best Italian defender and I think that was the club’s most important season “
