Giampaolo Pazzini had started over from Serie B with Hellas Verona, but will get back to Serie A after only a year. He's talked about Cassano to La Gazzetta dello Sport: "The spark is when you crave wanting to demonstrate something for me, when you've got butterflies in your stomach. Cassano? Too bad, he could have helped us a lot. I couldn't say anything else but he didn't gave the feeling he would leave, he was fine and always training well. What we know is what has been in newspapers. On 23 July's morning, last day of the retreat, he told us "Goodbye, I'm going: good luck". It could be everything and its opposite: we could see each other a few days after or not ever again. It was like the week before, he reunited us to say farewell in the morning and in the afternoon, we were back together. He'll continue to play in my opinion. I hope Cerci will assist my goals. We haven't played a lot together at Milan but in two games he gave me two. I'll miss Toni, you always miss your friends. He was important. My contract ends in 2020, could it end before? Yes, I have never felt bound to that term. Is it my last year? It's not my feeling. I feel well and have a lot of enthusiasm, until it changes I want to continue".
