Andrea Ranocchia had the following to say upon joining Hull City on loan: “I am very happy to be here and I am ready to play, It wasn’t a difficult decision to come here because I know this team plays in the best league in the world, so I was very happy to have the chance to come here. I want to contribute to this team and this is a great opportunity for me to play in the Premier League. It is a famous league throughout the world and I have watched the last three games that this team has played. The coach here is very good and we have some very good players. I am a tall defender so I am good in the air, but I am also happy with the ball at my feet. We have a big match against Manchester United on Wednesday night and if I can play I will be very happy. But there are a lot of matches left in the season and the longer objective is for the team to be safe. This is what I want to help with.”
