Agent: Fiorentina striker Rossi surprising himself

The agent of Fiorentina striker Giuseppe Rossi admits he's surprised himself with the way he's currently playing.

Rossi struck a hat-trick in victory over Juventus, having missed the past two seasons with a knee injury.

"I was certain that he would return to have the same character as he had before, but being at this point already after two years of inactivity was not even in the most optimistic expectations," Andrea Pastorello told TMW.

"That was his first hat-trick [on Sunday] and to gift that to Florence in such an important game is doubly satisfying.

"Let us say that, after Cesare Prandelli recalled him to the Giro Azzurro, he has definitely come out of his injury tunnel.

"I'm happy with how he has returned and the fact that he is the Capocannoniere right now leaves me very hopeful for the future."
