The deal bringing him from Verona to Valencia has been closed in 36 hours and has made him a Levante player. Giampaolo Pazzini has talked to La Gazzetta dello Sport about his move to La Liga and his dream start against Real Madrid: "I wasn't convinced to move, not for the city nor the team but for personal and logistical reasons bound to this type of change. The president then came to my house and show me a strong will to bring me with him. My first game? It's all happened very fast and was emotional, I couldn't ask for more. I couldn't even dream about a start that positive".
The situation in Italy is far less positive with the missed qualification for the World Cup. According to Pazzini, Italy needs new stadiums and a strong personality coach: "After a delusion like this one, we need a big name, a coach with a great personality and a lot of charism. What has happened? When Serie A was the best league in the world we needed to go on and progress. There are a lot of things not working regarding the Calcio but the new stadiums are the first things that need to be thought about".
