Frattesi: "I'm Enjoying Myself Again, You Only Feel Right When You Play"
Davide Frattesi, speaking from the Italy national team camp in Coverciano, shared his thoughts on his recent form and career path. The Lazio midfielder stated, "Gattuso? I always felt his confidence even when he was with the national team. When he called me this summer, I didn't hesitate; I've always respected him as a person and a coach. I like challenges." He added, "In the national team, I wasn't playing, which was justified because I wasn't playing for Inter. Gattuso, however, called me often in the summer, stayed close, and we clicked immediately. The new group here is full of young players, something good is forming, and we need to integrate the new arrivals who can help us significantly."
"Last year, I couldn't find the consistency I always hoped for, and I wasn't feeling good. Then, when you have the chance and the trust to start over, you go full throttle. It's as if I saved everything for this comeback, and I hope to continue like this. Physically, I feel good now, starting to feel right over 90 minutes. Now that I'm playing, I always want to do 100 things, but that's part of the process. Overall, I feel good and ready for these matches."
"Do I feel like I did in my Sassuolo days? Yes, but they are two different kinds of happiness. My years at Inter weren't replicable in terms of emotions; I had ups and downs. Initially, everything went smoothly, then I experienced highs and lows. Now, there's a different kind of happiness. I believe you only feel completely right in a place if you're playing. I'm enjoying myself again now, something I missed last year. The joy of a child has returned," Frattesi concluded.
