Maresca settled at Sevilla Friday 14 October, 2005
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sevilla’s Enzo Maresca says he would welcome a return to Italy even if he is more than happy in Spain.
"I’ve been here for almost three months and I have adapted well to things," he told Datasport. "I like it here but Italy will always be my country."
The 25-year-old left Serie A in the summer after Juventus opted to cash in on the former Under-21 international.
Although impressing at Fiorentina last term, the Bianconeri felt there was no room for him in their squad.
"It was a shame to leave Fiorentina," said the playmaker, who netted four goals in 25 games for the Viola. "I would have happily remained."
The ex-West Brom ace admits that life off the field in Spain is also much simpler than in the peninsula.
"The passion of the fans is the same, yet there is far less pressure from the media," he continued.
"Even the football programmes on television are much less controversial than they are back home.
"Tactical differences? The first thought here is to attack and then defend," Maresca concluded.
