Keane Jr.: Florence helped me get out of the black hole, playing for the Italian national team was my dream since childhood

Italian international forward Keane Jr. said in an interview that Fiorentina helped him get out of the black hole and the feeling of playing for the national team is indescribable.

Keane Jr. joined Fiorentina from Juventus last summer and scored 19 goals in the Serie A last season, ranking second in the Serie A scorer list. Keane Jr. first said: "Fiorentina successfully inspired the best of me, and they provided me with great help. I feel like I fell into a black hole, and it was the Florence club that gave me great confidence. I don't want to disappoint such a team that welcomes me so much and these fans that welcome me so much. I want to work hard to repay those who gave me this important opportunity."

Keane Jr. then talked about his football career: "In order to play professional football, I left everything at the age of 13, leaving my mother, my family, my friends, My hometown. It was a difficult experience, and it could even be said to be an adventure. Once I decided to leave, I had to achieve some achievements before going back. "

Now Keane Jr. also has a place in the Italian national team. He said: "I have a very close relationship with the Italian national team. For me, wearing the national team's blue jersey is a unique thing. This is my dream since I was a child, and every time I realize it, it will excite me."

The Italian national team will participate in the World Cup qualifiers in early September to strive to advance to next year's World Cup. Keane Jr. said: "We are about to start the season before the World Cup. The scenes of the 2006 World Cup always pops up in my mind: I was only 6 years old at the time, and I was in a nearby square with my friends, eating popsicles while watching the World Cup. At that time, I hope the Italian national team won, and now I have become a member of the national team. This feeling is hard to describe in words."

Finally, Keane Jr. talked about the Serie A. "I returned to Italy after experiencing a foreign football career in England and France. I feel that the Serie A has made obvious progress and has become more open on the tactical level, but the most important thing is the change in mentality. The Serie A has become more competitive, and there are many young players who are eager to prove themselves. It is really great to play football in this environment, and it is exciting to be able to witness and experience this growth."
