Hart: ‘Serie A is different’

By Football Italia staff

Torino goalkeeper Joe Hart admits “there are differences” between Serie A and the Premier League.

The England international is on loan from Manchester City, and made his debut against Atalanta last weekend, though he was at fault for one of the Orobici’s goals.

Today saw his official presentation as a Granata player, and after starting off the Press conference in Italian, Hart discussed life in Serie A so far.

“I’m learning Italian. I’m very happy to be here and I’m learning the words that a goalkeeper needs,” Hart assured.

“There are differences with the Premier League and I’m working hard to integrate with the squad.

“My mistake? They can happen. The Coach [Sinisa Mihajlovic] has received me well and I’m working hard to improve day-by-day.

“I have a good Italian teacher who helps me to learn Italian and communicate with everyone. I’ll be able to do it.

“I was happy at Manchester City for 10 years and now I’m here. It’s normal for a player to change and I’m grateful to Torino for giving me the experience to test myself in Serie A.

“Since I was young I’ve always watched matches from the Italian League. I already knew the history of Torino and of the Superga tragedy.

“I know Juventus are here too, but I’m glad to be Granata, Toro's history is unique.

"I was in a difficult situation in Manchester and Torino gave me the opportunity to play as I wanted to."
