Interview by Ernesto Branca
"There's nothing to celebrate, I only did my job" is what Stefano Okaka had to say after being the decisive player in Watford's win against Everton. 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"
Carlo isn't afraid to defend his brother's track record:"Stefano has always been an international level caliber player, this is often forgotten. He did well at Sampdoria, with Anderlecht he scored 17 goals but he was never talked about. Today my phone can't stop ringing. This isn't right. Stefano's ability and potential isn't up for debate" Could we see Okaka on Italy's national team:"Stefano is maturing by doing his work, the rest comes as a result of that. Being selected to Azzurri is a consequence of his performances, if he performs like Stefano Okaka, the call will come
