Tonight I haven't picked myself but I will only go as a fan. Then I will talk with Ventura and we will see.  "If he hasn't picked me, he will have his reasons and that's not an issue. "I am working and I keep focusing on my club. "When he picks me I will be happy. But today there's no problem, there will be somebody who is fitter or better than me. Belotti is good, he is scoring and he deserves to be there."</blockquote>
