Gio SIMEONE of Fiorentina: “I hope to be part of the next (Argentina) cycle”

Gio SIMEONE has high ambitions and the Fiorentina striker is hoping to be part of the Argentina senior squad sooner rather than later.

Following a 14 goal season in Serie A, SIMEONE has stated his intentions of wanting to make the Argentina team. Speaking with La Gazzetta dello Sport, here’s what he had to say:

“I hope to be part of the next (Argentina) cycle. I really want to be there. We did not have a good World Cup but that was something that could happen. You have to be more patient and be better organized.”

About the upcoming season in Italy, SIMEONE wants to find the back of the net more often:

“We want to do better than last season and I want to score more goals.”

The former River Plate man has been linked with clubs around Europe but he’s happy at his current club:

“I’m happy in Florence, I feel at hope and this group is a family.”
