Antonio Cassano gave a rare and revealing interview discussing his character faults and clashes with the media. “But I apologise for nothing.”
The undeniable talent has been constantly overshadowed by disagreements with teammates, Coaches, Presidents and journalists.
“It is not an issue of counting to 10, 100 or 1,000. This is my personality. I would have to file down certain aspects of it, but I cannot change overnight.”
Even after resolving rows with former friends Francesco Totti and Fabio Capello, he has pointedly refused to say sorry.
“If I make a mistake, then I make a mistake. That is all. Why should I apologise and to who? Recognising my errors does not mean saying sorry.
“The media are always happy with me, to begin with. Then when they discover what I’m like they start to attack me,” he told Sky Italia television.
“I don’t really care, though. I am always treated with extremes, they build me up and knock me down in an instant. I play well for one game and am back to being a genius, if I get one match wrong I am the crazy guy who doesn’t want to train. There is never grey with me, it is either black or white.”
Now that he is back in Italy for Sampdoria, he can look back on the disappointing 18 months spent at Real Madrid.
“I played alongside great champions like Zinedine Zidane, Raul, Roberto Carlos and Guti, but I think Ronaldo had something extra,” continued the ex-Roma starlet.
“It is great to be back in Italy and I got such a warm welcome from the Sampdoria fans. There were so many people, I found it quite moving.
“My mother is extremely happy to be in Italy. Making her and the people close to me – especially my cousins – content is very important. If they aren’t happy, then I can’t be either.”
Upon his arrival, Cassano noted that he loved the city of Genoa because it reminded him of his hometown of Bari.
“Bari Vecchia is unique for me, because that is where I am from. Genoa does resemble it in many ways, with the sea and the narrow streets.
“They also have the Torta Sorriso, a cake that makes me pile on weight! It is incredibly tasty, but a disaster for my waistline. Look at the state of me already!”
He doesn't sound like such a bad guy anymore. :dielaugh:
