Vieri excelled at Inter for most of his six years there from 1999 to 2005, but struggled badly at city rivals Milan during six months of the 2005/06 season.

Since this time he has played for Monaco, Atalanta and Fiorentina with mixed success, but he has been hounded by the press for being overweight and “finished”.

Vieri has just recently completed a controversial free transfer move back to Atalanta, but he insists that he made a mistake in not seeing out his career at either of the Milan giants.

“I made a mistake by leaving the great clubs that I played for,” the 35-year-old veteran told Chi Magazine.

“I could have finished my career at Inter or Milan.

“But there were too many messy situations and I couldn’t do it anymore.”

Vieri’s transfer to Atalanta was heavily opposed by the Atalanta fans, but he is confident he can win them over.

“I returned to Bergamo because my heart told me to. I will convince the fans by playing well, “he promised.

“I have always played because I enjoy it and the money is a secondary consideration. I signed a blank contract here with no figure on it.

“Football is my life – it’s my adrenaline. When I have the ball I am happy.”
