35 Quotes by Christian Vieri

I would have loved to have been a cricketer.

I can remember an Inter-Verona and we arrived at the stadium an hour and a half before kick-off and there were already 85,000 fans screaming our names. It sent shivers down your spine. I am proud of one thing and that is that I really gave all of my energy for those people.

I love Inter and I gave everything for them, killing myself every day for the Nerazzurri colours. I was the first to arrive for training and the last to leave. I never held back and sometimes I played when I could hardly stay on my feet.

I've always had music in my life. When I went running, I would put music on. Even before games I'd have music on.

I would come onto the field to warm up and the stadium would be shaking and those are feelings that are worth more than any trophies.

In World Cup qualifying in 1997, I will never forget Tony Adams and Sol Campbell: two very strong lions physically and mentally. Italy too had and has formidable defenders, but I have a great memory of those two. It was a pleasure to fight against them.

At Juve I was a great professional, in Madrid we went out every night.

But when I will call it a day, I could become a professional poker player.
