Franco Zuculini

Teenage midfielder Franco Zuculini opted to leave Racing for ambitious Bundesliga outfit Hoffenheim last summer, and the 19-year-old doesn't regret his decision to leave Argentina for a European adventure.

"It was difficult for me to settle here in the beginning. I missed my family a lot after moving to a new continent with new surroundings," Zuculini told the club's official website.

"I really like it in Germany. It's a lot better now because I can go shopping on my own and I have found my own flat. Unfortunately I'm still having problems with the language. I'm working hard at it and I try to speak German whenever possible.

"There is a lot more order in Germany. It's much more chilled out and it's a lot safer than in Argentina," continued the young midfielder.

"The tempo of the game in the Bundesliga is a lot quicker than in Argentina.

"I think the facilities here are world-class. The pitches in every stadium are perfect. I like the aggressive, attacking style of play in the Bundesliga and I am a fan of Hoffenheim's tactical approach."

Zuculini has scored once in four Bundesliga outings so far.
