“There are players who have played for many years after the end of their career. It also depends on where you play, with all due respect, but if I were to go back to Serie A, I would have to train very well.”

I wouldn’t even consider it,” he said. “I would be ready in two or three months — I’m still playing at 48 years old. If I had to do something crazy, I would do it in Italy, not abroad, but it is crazy.”
