Former Lazio defender 'regrets leaving' Biancocelesti
"I made a mistake. I had a five-year contract [in Italy]. After two years, they offered to extend it for another five, with better conditions.The Italian football culture is very professional, but everyone wants to play in the best league in the world, the Premier League, and Southampton offered me a contract that I could not refuse. Unfortunately, the club has had two bad seasons and things didn't go as I thought."
