Kevin-Prince Boateng has stated he is used to handling pressure, as the reason he opted for leaving Serie A side Fiorentina for Serie B club Monza.
The 33-year-old Ghanaian forward raised eyebrows when he was announced as a Brianzolo player on Monday. Indeed, it was a surprise considering he has only played for top-flight clubs through his career, clubs that have included Tottenham Hotspur, Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan, Barcelona and Besiktas.
Boateng admits he could have remained in Fiorentina where he was on the fringes last season making just 15 appearances in all competitions and scoring one goal in the first half of the campaign before moving on loan in the second half of the season to Turkey with Besiktas.
