when he first broke in to the Serie A he put up with chants of "there are no black italians" at a number of away games
like the article says, he's not perfect and he has some anger/immaturity issues, but when people look back at his past it's easy to see why.
I hope he continues to do well not just in this tournament but in the next decade
