His grandparents are from Milan and Turin and he grew up an Italian soccer fan, cheering for A.C. Milan. "When I found out we were playing Italy I thought it was cool because of my background. It will be interesting, but the truth is it doesn’t really matter who we play really at this point. We just want to win."
