Giuseppe Rossi aims to prove himself during his four-month loan
at Serie A strugglers Parma.
The highly-rated young striker endured a frustrating spell at
Newcastle earlier this season, and is itching to get some playing
time with his former club.
"When a player is loaned, he hopes to be able to play," Rossi told
a press conference in Italy.
"Here [Parma] there is the possibility. I'm in a moment in my
career where I must play.
"I'm here to show I can do good things. From my side, I'll give the
best to help the team."
Rossi left Parma for United in the summer of 2004, and he is
anxious to show how much he has improved in his time in
England.
"When you have trained with big champions like Scholes, Rooney or
Cristiano Ronaldo, you learn a lot," he said.
"Since I left Parma I've learnt a lot. I've played about 20 matches
with Manchester and it has been a good experience.
"It's a different football, based more on the physical, whilst here
in Italy it is based especially on technique."
