Such a Buddhist thing to do for Joe Hart, feeling completely fine with everything that Pep Guardiola has done to him in the past few months. That speaks highly of a man who has gotten ridiculed by the Catalan manager in many ways, players in the past have not taken it so lightly as people like Samuel Eto'o and even Zlatan Ibrahimovic still feel bitter against Guardiola for being dismissed as if they were worthless objects.
Talking to La Stampa, Joe Hart surprisingly said: "I don't hate Guardiola, these kinds of feelings don't suit with professional matters. But I'm here, this means I had no choice but to leave. Last August everything happened so fast. I'm grateful to Torino because they offered me a true, solid opportunity. I grew up watching Italian football on TV, I visited the city before accepting and I liked it, and I got very encouraging feedback from people like Patrick Vieira. I am not thinking about the future. I just want to enjoy this season at Torino."
He added: "I don't see too many differences between Serie A and the Premier League. Both are unpredictable leagues, where anything can happen. The fans surprised me. I know that the stadiums are rarely sold out, but there's still a great atmosphere. When we play at home, it's amazing. I heard the chant to me at Wembley. The Italian accent surprised me... they made me feel special."
