Udinese forward Zaniolo spoke to the club's official channel after the home defeat to Cagliari.

He stated: "I'm very happy to be back. Losing feels terrible; we wanted to win but couldn't. Credit must go to Cagliari; we knew it would be a tough match, and we lacked composure in front of goal. Now we have to fix our issues.

The season has just begun, and we're not yet in top form; our final passes are still lacking. We need to train to address these shortcomings, but not everything is bad. Being called up to the national team? That feeling is incredible; it's my dream. The Italy national team jersey carries immense weight, and I can't wait to go to Coverciano."
