Bianchi: I've only just begun Sunday 12 August, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rolando Bianchi thanked Bernardo Corradi and Sven Goran Eriksson for his sensational Manchester City start. “I don’t want to be a flash in the pan.”

The £8.8m signing from Reggina could not have asked for a better debut in the Premier League, as he netted the opener in City’s 2-0 win away to West Ham United.


“I am very happy, because this was an important start,” he told Italian news agency Agr. “I don’t want to stop, though, as I am very hungry for goals and do not wish to be a flash in the pan.”


There were fears Bianchi would not be able to replicate his stunning 18-goal haul in Serie A last season for Reggina, especially as in his career before that his previous best had been just two for Cagliari in 2004-05.


“I received many messages complimenting me, above all from my former Reggina teammates and President Lillo Foti. I’m happy because I have real friends there and had a fantastic year in Reggio Calabria.”


One of several Serie A ex-pats at Eastlands, Bianchi has settled in very quickly and thanks one man in particular for that.


“Corradi greeted me like a brother coming into his home. He is a great friend,” explained the 24-year-old.


“Eriksson also helped me feel at home. He is a very nice guy and uses an Italian style of training.”

THis is great for Bianchi I am so happy for him, and I hope one day he will return to where he belongs Milan!! (he is a milan fan that's why I say that) but in all hinesty I would love him back in Italy, but right now I hope he has a terrific season and a few more seasons with Man City
