Nicolo Zaniolo spoke to the Udinese YouTube channel after the team beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 in the opening game of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Cup.
This is what he had to say:
"It was a good game, and useful to get more minutes in our legs. It's essential we're ready to face Padova in a week's time.
"I want to thank the fans. I'm really happy. I've felt at home here since day one. Thanks to Udinese and these fans, I'm enjoying my football again. What happened this summer is part of the process.”
