Not long ago, Verratti accepted an interview with Yi Tiankong and talked about many topics.

Marco, this is your third season in Qatar, how do you feel? Why did you stay here for so long?

"When I feel good in a place, I like to stay there. I stayed in Paris for 11 years because I loved it, and here I found everything I needed. There is a life outside football here, which I really like and enjoy playing with my team. I am very happy here."

You are still young, have you considered the possibility of playing in Serie A for the first time?

"In football, everything is possible, let's see. At the moment I am here, finish the year and then see. Nothing is ruled out, but I like to live in the present and don't want to think too much about the future. We will see at the end of the year what I want to do and what my family wants to do."

Can we say that your dream is to play in Serie A with Pescara?

"Pescara is my team, everything is it for me. First of all I hope that Pescara can return to Serie A one day, and then we will see... Of course, it is a dream for all children to play at the highest level with the team they grew up with."

You have also shown your love for Pescara by investing in the club. Can you tell us how this idea came about?

"Yes, it was a practical move. It is easy with words, anyone can say it, but I wanted to do something to give back everything I got. If I can have a career like this, I am very grateful to Pescara. Everything started from there and they gave me everything I needed to become a player, so this move I am grateful to the club and hope to help it grow. The fans of Pescara are great. I love this city. It is small but beautiful, with the ocean and everything. I hope to help Pescara grow and make all fans proud."

What do you think of the situation of the national team, especially the World Cup qualifiers?

"Now it seems that the play-offs are inevitable, but I certainly hope that Norway can make a mistake. It is difficult, but Italy has a great coach who can pass on strong motivation to the players, and I hope that by March they will all be ready to fight for this sacred World Cup."

Could you be part of the play-off squad, or maybe even play in the World Cup?

"I don't know, let's see. If necessary, I will talk directly to the coach. Let's see, the national team is everything to me, I don't think individual players are important. The national team belongs to everyone, I just hope it can go to the World Cup, for my children, and for that generation of children who have never seen Italy participate in the World Cup. I will be very happy for their qualifying success."

Do you follow Serie A in Qatar? Who do you think is the favorite?

"Yes, I have been paying attention. As far as the lineup is concerned, I think Inter Milan is the most complete team. But this year with Milan, they can do well without the cup. I don't know why, but I support Milan this year, I know that my friend Ibrahimovic values ​​it very much, and Milan has always been my favorite team."
