Christian Brocchi says he's now settled at Lazio.

The former AC Milan midfielder had an inconsistent start to his Lazio career, but is now a first-choice in coach Delio Rossi's midfield.

He said: "For me, it was difficult to settle into a reality very different from that of Milan, like that of Rome, where the pressures are daily and you are more easily subject to criticism.

"I am glad, however, by my choice and I am proud of what I'm doing, because, at 33 years of age, I am continuing to play at these levels which makes me happy about myself."
