The injury is now behind him and he's ready to reap the rewards of his hard work, the striker's brother/agent Carlo spoke exclusively to GianlucaDiMarzio.com:"I lived these difficult moments with him, training and medical care, training and medical care. In silience with the head down. Psychologically it wasn't easy since he had to always prove his worth wherever he went. After he arrived at Watford he immediately got hurt, but he never gave up. He always told me not to worry and that his moment would arrive, I must say he was right"
