Inter Milan striker Osvaldo: I'm no bad boy

Inter Milan striker Dani Osvaldo insists he's no 'bad boy'.

Osvaldo left Southampton after a clash with Jose Fonte last season.

"Have I had punch-ups? Let's just say that two out of 10 are true. Then there were some fans who hated me and were looking for a scapegoat.

"This 'bad boy' label annoyed me at the start, but now I laugh about it. I am a perfectly normal person, but only one thing drives me crazy: injustice. I cannot stand it and if I see injustice, I lose my head.

"I always reacted to injustice and sometimes went too far, putting me in the wrong. I am learning to calm down now.

"It's true that I tend to leave after a red card or a fight, because I no longer feel respect and that means I don't feel like staying anymore.

"On the pitch you can say anything you want and I don't care, but off it you'd best leave me alone. Off the field I am Daniel and anything that happens is my business, so don't stick your nose in."
