He obviously has some basic knowledge. He understood the first question completely (but he still wasn't sure that he understood it well so he asked Stankovic to confirm it). But he still can't talk and form sentences. He wanted to say "The championship has just started and we're on the right way" but all he could say was "giusta strada, giusta strada" (right way, right way)
I'd think he's got the basics down, understanding journalists long questions is something different. Mirko will be a significant help, now Brazzo has left.
I think his miss against Chievo before the break which meant Pissier equalised soon after was just as bad of a blow to our confidence last season as was Quag's injury straight after the break.
