Marco Borriello sets himself Carpi goals target

Marco Borriello has set himself a target of 12 goals for new club Carpi.

The former Juventus and Roma striker joined the newly-promoted side on a free transfer.

“If the President wants to give me a modelling contract, he should know I'd cost more as a model than a player," Borriello joked at his official presentation.

“I want to score at least 12 goals. At 33-years-old, I'm an experienced player, and my decision to come here was dictated by the love I have for this sport, the desire to continue to work.

“I've played for teams battling relegation, and for teams fighting for trophies, I know what it means to get back on your feet after two defeats.

“I just want to get on the pitch, give an assist to a teammate, celebrate a goal. It's the first year in Serie A for this team, and we want to stay in the division."
