Speaking about his son’s time as a Hammer he said: “It was a huge mistake, Simone was still concerned by the penalty he missed with Italy at the time and he failed to settle in well in London.”
“He was not happy with the weather and with the formation of his ex-boss. Moving to Spain was the best ever decision for him.”
Simone has been prolific this season scoring an amazing six goals in seven La Liga league games including a 8-minute hat-trick.
