Sampdoria star striker Antonio Cassano has explained how he set out to shed his bad-boy image during his ill-fated spell at Spanish giants Real Madrid.
“We trained all week at Madrid,” he said in a remarkable interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Then, given that I was frozen out of the squad, after training I took a private jet with Franco, my cousin, and we both went back to Rome for three days.
“And it was then, during one of those flights, that he looked me in the eye and said ‘you’re headed for a bad ending’.
“These are things I have not told anyone, not even to my mother. I listened to Franco and said to myself: this guy is right, I am not loving myself. I am throwing myself away because of my lousy temperament.
“I’m going to show him if I really am a man. And since I consider myself to be one with the so-called… something sprung up inside of me: let’s see where I want to go.”
Cassano has been in fine form for Samp so far this season, reigniting the debate over his continued exclusion from the Italy set-up, but according to the player himself, he is not bitter and is content with what he has.
“If you asked me now what I would like to have out of my life, I would say nothing. Who is happier than me?" he concluded.
