Mr. Mancini has said that you are perfect for the role of captain. Are you ready for it?
 
I can say that this is a big responsibility. I am happy that I have been selected and I am pleased with the decision of the head coach. I will try to live up to expectations. 

What do you think are the most important parts of the training camp? 

The main task of this camp is preparing for the new season, getting in perfect physical form for the beginning of the championship. Friendlies are of course important, but not that important. The main thing is to be ready for the championship. 

Domenico Criscito has previously worn the captain's armband in 14 official matches for Zenit.
