It was a shock, but during his press conference today, Antonio Cassano changed his mind about leaving Hellas Verona and retiring: "I will continue with this club, as it was only a moment of weakness. I will win this bet and I have made many mistakes when I decide in a panic, but this time I will not make the same mistake. I would not have left Hellas Verona, but football in its entirety and if the fans feel offended then I apologize."
Hellas Verona Sporting Director Fusco also commented: "It was my error to schedule a public event and Cassano is courageous to be in front of everyone here."
