Amauri's Sicilian sentiment
Wednesday 7 January, 2009

Juventus striker Amauri enjoyed returning to Sicily to face Monaco in a friendly last night.

The Brazilian marksman spent a highly productive spell at Palermo before he joined Juve last summer.

And he revisited Sicily with his current employers in the Bianconeri's 1-1 draw with Monaco in Messina.

“It's always nice to play in Sicily,” he told Radio Rai.

“It was a pleasure to come back. It was tough to adapt to life elsewhere at first but now I have settled.

“I still wish all the best for Sicilian football. A few years ago all the teams were in Serie A and I'm hoping that will happen again in the future.

“I have always enjoyed myself on the island and I hope Catania and Palermo continue to have excellent campaigns.”
