During all these years I never had the chance to think about how could I say goodbye to this colors, this town, this Club, with whom I could reach amazing target, realize dreams that still today, just thinking about, it’s all goose bumps.

I would like to have the chance to hug personally, in Tardini, all the people that have this jersey tattoed on the heart, that know what it means and his history, and the emotion that provoked wearing it and fighting for it. Unfortunately it was not possibile, so I need to use this way hoping that all the emotions that I am feeling now and that are contained in such a great experience arrive to all of you.

“Thank you” is an easy word, but in his semplicity it contains all the gratitude for what I lived with you and thanks to you. It has been five wonderful years, with some bad moment but also with many great success, obtained giving all that I had in every training, in every match, in every moment inside and outside the pitch.

So, from the bottom of my heart: thank you Parma, thank you parmesan people. I don’t think it will be a goodbye, but the history that we wrote together can’t be forget and will always be one of the thing I am more proud in my life.

This town, this team, this supporters will always be part of me. I always felt welcome. I will come back often, to meet again those people that contributed to live and write with me these five years that I will never forget.
