25-8-2007 Inter-Udinese (1-1):

“We aren’t at the top of our match fitness yet, but it is very difficult to play in this heat,” the midfielder told Sky Italia.

If we add the injury suffered by (Patrick) Vieira and the delayed arrival of our South American players (due to the Copa America), it is easy to explain our uncertain start. And with Udinese we drew only because we were down to 10 men (following the dismissal of keeper Julio Cesar).'
